MANCHESTER, Ky. – When Bill Sparkman told retired trooper Gilbert Acciardo that he was going door-to-door collecting census data in rural Kentucky, the former police officer drew on years of experience for a warning: "Be careful."
The 51-year-old Sparkman was found this month hanged from a tree near a cemetery with the word "fed" scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.
He was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of Daniel Boone National Forest.
State police said Thursday that the cause of death was asphyxiation. State police said in a statement that he was found with a rope around his neck that was tied to a tree, but that he was "in contact with the ground." .
People associate any person working for the government as an enemy. Service personnel working for utility companies,cable companies, or any service company are required to write a report as to what they have seen. I think it is an invasion of privacy. I feel our rights are being violated.
