Matthew Donald Spaulding, 51, was found in a horse barn around 11:30 a.m. on July 12 by a family member near his home at Route 1, Winnabow. Spaulding had received multiple gunshot and stab wounds and had been dead about four hours when the body was found. "We're still working on it," Perrysaid Monday. "We have no additional leads at this time." nnm. ?1?.. ~r 4 rcujr amu i?uili ui an auiupsy and ballistics report have not yet been received by the department. They should provide some long-range clues into the murder, he added. "But as far as being any closer to the person who did it, no. we are not," Perry added. Spaulding had been shot with a small-caliber weapon at least several times in the body and possibly once in the head. He also had shallow stab wounds in the collarbone area of both shoulders that appeared to have been made with a small, rounded object, rather than a knife, the sheriff's department reported. State Bureau of Investigation agents are also investigating the murder along with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Department.
