A call about a motorcycle accident Sunday afternoon in Dallas County resulted in the discovery of a deceased male from Nebraska. Sheriff’s officials say the body 29-year old Austin Welke, which had apparently been deceased for several days, was found after a caller reported seeing the wreckage at around 3:23-p.m. Sunday, in a cornfield near the intersection of Old Highway Six and Bear Creek Road, between Redfield and Dexter.

Authorities say Welke was staying in Redfield while on a work assignment. His friends reported he hadn’t been seen since July 20th. Officials say while no foul play is expected, the circumstances of the accident remain under investigation, and an autopsy has been scheduled with the State Medical Examiner’s Office.
