A Kentucky couple spent six days looking for a body believed to be the highway shooting suspect that authorities have been hunting for over a week — and eventually found it by following circling vultures, they said Thursday.
So capturing Couch wasn't as far fetched as it might seem, the couple said.
"None of us are getting out of this world alive," Fred McCoy told NBC News.
"The smell was terrible, it was horrible," said Sheila McCoy, 59.
"When you got that many vultures, you've either got a livestock, a horse, a cow or you've got a human," said Fred McCoy, 67.
