A developing story out of Fort Benton, where a body was found and an investigation is underway. The Montana Department of Justice confirms that around 2:00 P.M. Monday afternoon, a local jogger found the body just east of Fort Benton.

The Fort Benton Police and Chouteau County Sheriff's responded to the scene, however the case is being handed over to Division of Criminal Investigation.
