Kansas City police find body in man's car after towing it

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Family members are questioning why Kansas City police didn't find a man's body in the cargo area of his own SVU until after they towed it to a Missouri police station earlier this month.

Police are defending how they handled the situation.

They say they didn't have a search warrant at the time the vehicle was towed on Jan. 17 and the dead man, Adam ``A.J.'' Blackstock Jr., hadn't been officially reported missing then.

Blackstock's family says they just wants answers about what happened to the 24-year-old.

The case is being investigated as a homicide.
