A Maine man whose body was found after a months long search had been killed

A Maine man whose body was found after a months long search had been killed, placed into a barrel and dumped in a sand pit, authorities said. The body of Alex Jackson, 34, of Windham, was recovered in the area of Stark, New Hampshire, last month after a search that took nearly a year. Police arrested Joseph Chute of Leeds and charged him with murder stemming from Jackson’s death. Witnesses told police that Chute confessed he shot Jackson in the head at his farm before putting Jackson’s body in the barrel.
