This is my first time trying to do this (suggest a match) so I hope I have everything required to post? He was last seen about 5 hrs away from where the body was located. I tried to do some msm digging to see if he had any connections to the area. Not a lot out there, other than saying he was severely depressed.

Thank you so much for sharing this info. As incredibly sad as it is, it’s always relieving to know the family no longer has to wonder.
