EL DORADO, Ark. (AP) - Police in El Dorado are looking for a suspect in the slaying of a 48-year-old man who was found dead inside his home. 

The body of 48-year-old Benjamin C. Taylor was found by a relative on Friday. Police say Taylor's truck was missing. 

Police would not describe how Taylor was killed but said he was found covered in blood. 

The El Dorado News-Times reports that investigators were working to develop a suspect. Officials were also working to determine how long Taylor had been dead before being found by an adult son. 

Officials say Taylor's 2005 Toyota Tacoma, with Arkansas license tag 001 OFB, was missing from the residence.
