!!BREAKING NEWS!! Jackson County OH- Remains Identified as Missing Oak Hill Man - Scioto Post

JACKSON, OHIO— An Oak Hill family has been notified that their son, who was reported missing on his birthday last year, has been found.

“It’s not the homecoming they have hoped for,” said Jackson County Sheriff Tedd Frazier of the Saylor family. “We have notified the family of Benjamin Michael Saylor, that it was his remains that were found on Saturday, January 11. Jackson County Coroner Dr. Alice Frazier notified the Sheriff of the confirmation Monday afternoon. The confirmation came from dental records submitted to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office. According to Sheriff Frazier. Attorney General Dave Yost’s office continues to assist in the investigation,” Frazier added.

The determination on Saylor’s identity, in part, was through dental records. “The principal basis of the dental identification lies in the fact that no two oral cavities are alike and the teeth are unique to an individual,” Jackson County Coroner Dr. Alice Frazier explained.

“We are continuing to investigate how Michael ended up where he was discovered, the cause of death and if any individuals may have contributed to his death,” said Sheriff Frazier. “We have been investigating the disappearance of Michael since July 29, 2019 and have put in hundreds of hours searching for Michael and interviewing individuals who were associated with him,” Frazier said. “We want to give this family as many answers as we can on the loss of their loved one,” Frazier explained.

Due to the continuing investigation, no other information is being released at this time. “I understand that the family and the community want answers, but we will not release any further information until the investigation is complete,” Sheriff Frazier said.

While most of this article is about Koby Roush (another local missing man, foul play likely) there is also a section about Michael after their families connected after finding the cases very similar.

"Roush recalled his conversation with Michael Saylor’s father who reportedly said, “‘You know what? I got a phone call from my son saying he was broke down last time I ever seen him.’ [The Saylors] get all these horror stories. They’re in wells, they’re in caves. They do all this checking, and they finally found the body out by … a lumber cut. Somebody was moving the body around.'"

No other articles I could find relating to Michael's cause of death or if any more investigation is being done, at this point they might be waiting for any new lead.
