SARALAND, Alabama - Police in Saraland are looking for clues to a possible murder.
Investigators say the body of a middle aged man was found in a home on Williams Avenue Wednesday afternoon.
There are still many unanswered questions in the case: police and family members are not saying much, but News Five did talk to the victim's son.
Tony Embley describes his father as "easy-going, loving, (would) give you the shirt off his back, help anybody he can."
His father's body was found at a home at 704 Williams Avenue.
Saraland Police Chief Kevin Anderson said, "We received a call about 1:30 this afternoon to do a welfare check at the victim's residence. The officers arrived on the scene, made entry inside the house, found the victim, determined it appears to be a homicide and, right now, we're working it as a homicide."
Embley asked the public, "If you know who did it or why they did it, try your best to contact the Saraland Police Department to help them out. That way they can help us out."
Embley said his father's body was found by two co-workers, and he was an active member of the U.S. Army and National Guard.
He also said his father would "bend over backwards to help the country."
In the meantime, police are looking for clues.
Chief Anderson said, "His car was found in Mobile. We are processing it for evidence right now."
Embley said, "I promise you, I want find out who did it, and I want to find out why. And if me and my brothers and sisters have to, we will go to whatever it takes to make sure whoever has done it serves however long that they can."
If you have any information on this case, call the Saraland Police Department.
The number is 675-5331.

Why does this happen? Will it ever stop? Mobile and the surrounding areas are too big to go back to that small town feel. We’ve turned a corner and lost our way back. We’re now a big city with “Big City” problems. Too bad, I miss the good ole days ,you know..the days when you could go shopping or sit in your own house and not worry about getting killed for the $10 dollars you may or may not have on you.
