We just went through the same song and dance with a different body found in Billings that turned out to not be Mike's. It doesn't make sense IMO that somebody would murder him in the billings area and then drive his car back through Pryor (where he was from) and then head east and ditch it along the highway. This body sounds a lot like a transient.

Is it possible that he pulled he met up with someone and pulled his truck over by the side of the road & left with them...so truck abandoned before he was killed?
I'm terrible with maps - just trying to think of ways the truck could have ended up where it was. Looks like the body is pretty close to the place where he was last seen.
Your scenario could be correct, but it's unlikely they would have driven all the way back to Billings. It's close to an hour's drive.
Also, Montana's crime rate isn't as low as you'd think. There's a lot of drug-related stuff going on, and Billings has all the normal city problems.
It doesn't sound like it is Mike but it is a homicide.
Man's body found in Coulson Park identified; authorities investigate as homicide
The body has been identified, but the man's name hasn't been released pending notification of family members.
Linder said they "haven't been able to locate family members" but said they plan to notify media with the identification as soon as they do.
Linder said he believed that one of the family members was from Montana but not the immediate Billings area.

Linder identified the man as Jack Jason Cox, 47, of Billings.
A resident of the area said he saw FBI and BIA agents investigating the scene on Saturday about three miles north of Pryor.
The resident said a tribal member found the remains under a cattle guard.
I agree this is probably Mike. Such a shame. I'm glad the FBI is involved. Does anyone know if that's unusual? At any rate, I hope some are quaking in their boots. Praying for an arrest or two soon.
This one is probably Mike. Hopefully they can find some evidence with the remains because this has to be homicide. There is no reason for anybody to be under a cattle guard. Maybe a transient could make some sort of nook under one, but that seems unlikely.
So the remains haven't been identified yet it seems - even if they wanted to do more analyses, they're release an ID if they had one wouldn't they?
It's odd that it's been over 10 days and they're just now sending to FBI labs for more analysis (is that normal?)
