Rocky Ford, CO – A fugitive escapee wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Bent County Sheriff’s Office has been located deceased in rural Otero County, Colorado.

The body of fugitive Mark Fox, 46, was located inside an unoccupied farmhouse near Colorado Hwy 71 and Hwy 10, approximately 5 miles south of Rocky Ford. The Otero County Sheriff’s Office received a call Saturday afternoon around 4:00pm from a former resident of the property who had returned to retrieve some property and discovered the body inside.
