A body is discovered early Friday morning near a mine site in the Vicco community of Perry County. The family of Jessica Haddix Mullins believes the body is that of their missing loved one. Haddix was last seen Saturday night in Knott County.

Police say they are continuing to look for clues after finding the body of a female near a mine site in Perry County.

"We do know that we have a missing person that's been reported missing from Breathitt County. We can not confirm whether it is that individual or not," said Tony Watts with Kentucky State Police.

Family members of missing 29 year old Jessica Haddix Mullins say it is too hard to go on camera, but say they know the body found is Jessica's by a description of tattoos. Mullins was last seen this past Saturday in Sassafras In Knott County after dropping her youngest child off at her boyfriend's home. A few days later he car was discovered at an abandoned strip mine, about five miles from her boyfriend's home.

"The body has been removed and has been taken to the medical examiner's office in Frankfort, for positive identification and also to determine the cause of death," said Watts.

In the meantime they are still looking into Mullins' disappearance, taking video surveillance from this Marathon on Highway 15. The store owner did not want his face shown, but says a man used her food stamp card the night she disappeared.

"Somebody come in and used the card shortly before midnight Saturday night, the transaction went through, we should have it on surveillance tape," said Kevin, the store owner.

He says police are examining the tape, and he hopes they find what they are looking for.

"It's probably somebody who knew her because they know the number to her card,” he said.

He, along with family members say they hope they get answers soon.

Police say they expect an autopsy to be performed tomorrow morning. The gas station store owner says he is not certain if the video captured the man or not because he recently switched monitoring systems.
