Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck gave more details about where authorities found the body of Lewiston shooting rampage suspect Robert Card during a news conference on Saturday morning.

Sauschuck said Card's body was located in an unlocked box trailer in the overflow parking lot of the Maine Recycling Corporation, a facility in Lisbon.

He said that the recycling center had been cleared twice previously, but the owner had pointed out the trailers in the overflow area and asked authorities if they had cleared there.

The Maine State Police Tactical Team ultimately located Card's body in one of those trailers, he added.

Later in the briefing, Sauschuck said there are 55 to 60 trailers in the area, but police located the body in the first three trailers.

A law enforcement source previously told CNN that Card’s body was found near a recycling center from which he had recently been fired,

Sauschuck said law enforcement will process the recycling center scene throughout the day.
