Late on Sunday, August 6, police discovered the body of Randall R. LaForce, 39, just off the CSX railroad tracks in northeastern Albemarle County. LaForce was first spotted by the crew from a passing train along a remote stretch near the Louisa County line, at least half a mile from the nearest road. LaForce was a resident of Beaverdam, roughly 40 miles north of the site, just beyond Richmond.
How LaForce got to the remote location—as well as the cause of his death—remain unanswered. “We don’t know what happened,” says Lt. John Teixeira of the Albemarle County Police Department. “That’s why we’re hoping to get a fairly detailed autopsy report.” Investigators cannot estimate when that report will be ready.
Police do not think the death was train-related. Though they are backing away from a homicide theory, as of now nothing has been ruled out.
