Osage County officials say a 20-year-old man whose body was found along a highway during the weekend died in a hit-and-run.

Sheriff Laurie Dunn said Tuesday an autopsy confirmed that Timothy Kemble of Carbondale was hit by a car before his body was found Sunday morning along U.S. 56.

Authorities are still searching for the vehicle that hit Kemble and are asking anyone with information to call 1-877-OS-CRIME.
