Body Found on Fort Campbell Army Post

A Fort Campbell spokesman says authorities are investigating the discovery of a body at the Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee line. 

According to WKRN-TV in Nashville, the body found near a training area on Friday has been identified as that of 23-year-old Spc. Brandon David Bertolo, who went missing the previous weekend. 

Fort Campbell spokesman Bob Jenkins told The Associated Press on Sunday that he couldn't confirm the identity because the case is still being investigated. 

According to the TV station, Bertolo's mother created a Facebook page with pictures of her son when he went missing.  His family discovered he was under investigation by the military and was considered AWOL.
