EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Employees at Sterling United FCU were met with an unpleasant surprise last Thursday when they went to inspect a truck that had been repossessed by the credit union – the dead body of the owner who had borrowed from the credit union to purchase the vehicle.
Employees discovered the remains underneath the truck’s hard shell cover. The truck had been in the credit union’s parking lot since being towed there Feb. 3.
The owner of the truck, Richard Fulkerson, 38, had been sought by police in connection with a Jan. 10 attack on his wife. Fulkerson allegedly stabbed his wife multiple times in the neck and body.
Police say the truck was impounded from a hotel parking lot in nearby Henderson, Ky. Detectives got into the truck’s front seat to retrieve a set of keys but never searched the bed.
