TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities have exhumed the body of a Black man who died in 2004 in Kansas as federal officials continue to investigate the death as a possible hate crime. The body of Alonzo Brooks was exhumed from a Topeka cemetery on Tuesday. 

Brooks was 23 when he disappeared after attending a party in La Cynge, Kansas, in May 2004. His family later found his body in a creek near where the party was held. 

The FBI reopened the investigation in 2019 and in June of this year offered a $100,000 reward for information. 

His family said new information has come in since the case was featured recently on a national crime show.
