Norwood then went to The Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., Patrick said. He asked an employee, Adrian McConnell, if he could use the phone in regards to the body he had seen. Norwood and McConnell then went to check to see if the person was possibly just drunk, Patrick said.

The last known contact with Foster was about 3:30 a.m., Pattrick said. An officer on a routine check had noticed Foster sitting in his car on the top level of the parking garage, he said. When questioned by the officer, Foster said he was waiting for the arrival of some newspaper for delivery.

Foster was listed on the police report as having worked for the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment.
