Five days after Michael Saucier's body was found, crime scene tape still surrounds his Foley house, a reminder of what happened inside. On Friday, one of Saucier's family members discovered the 54-year old man's body. Police say Saucier had neck and head trauma and immediately launched a murder investigation.

Foley Police Chief David Wilson has brought in several outside law enforcement agencies to help.

"We don't have evidence that this is a random, stranger killing," says Wilson. "That's always possible in any city but we don't think that's the situation here."

Wilson says investigators are now looking east and concentrating on the Pensacola area. Saucier used to live there. Detectives are interviewing Saucier's friends and acquaintances.

"It's a top priority," says Wilson. "We're working around the clock to solve this case."
