(KAIR)--"We are investigating a homicide."

That word comes from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson in regards to an investigation launched Monday night. The confirmation of a homicide was made late Tuesday morning. Prior to that time, the case was being referred to only as a death investigation.

The investigation follows the discovery of the body of 49-year-old Michael Moeck, of Atchison, around 7:00 Monday evening.

Wilson says the Kansas Bureau of Investigation is assisting with the probe into Moeck's death.

According to a press release issued by the KBI, Moeck's body was found at his residence, located at 1145 Parallel Street, in Atchison.

It's not yet revealed how he died, and there's not yet any word regarding possible suspects in the case.

The KBI is asking for assistance from the public. The agency says anyone with information pertaining to the investigation should call 1-800-KS-CRIME.
