Nick Diemel, 35, and his brother Justin, 24, were in Braymer, Missouri, on business when they went missing on July 21. According to court documents, Nelson admitted to moving the rental truck, which was signed out to Nick Diemel in the rental agreement.
Authorities in Braymer said they discovered human remains during their search for the missing brothers.
Clinton County Sheriff Larry Fish said authorities were assisted by a forensic anthropologist from Frontier Forensics who confirmed that human remains have been located at the search area in Braymer.
"The cause of death has not been determined," Fish said. "This is still an active investigation and the human remains have not been identified at this time. Investigators are still working with Frontier forensic doctors to figure out what took place."
Authorities said the missing persons investigation in this case was changed to a death investigation in late July. Fish said he could not comment on how or where the remains in Braymer were found.
