Human remains found in a field off U.S. Highway 41 in Pelham, Tennessee, have been identified as those of a Ringgold, Georgia, man who went missing in 2018.
The remains were identified as those of Jeremy O’Bannon, 42, whose vehicle was found April 12, 2018, in West Grundy County, according to a news release from the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office.
The remains were found Thursday, and Grundy County Medical Examiner Don Hutcheson and Sheriff’s Office detectives began an on-scene investigation, according to the release. A cadaver dog was requested to assist from the Murfreesboro Police Department in neighboring Rutherford County.
The remains consisted of bones, Sheriff Heath Gunter said in a separate social media post Sunday.
