Yes I understand you. It is not the same county though, around 200 miles from where he was found.From what I can tell, he was from Wisconsin, won't say why I think that but I think someone might understand what I mean.
It's an ongoing homicide investigation, I think they are learning more about the victim, who appears to be a Wisconsian, usually silence from the investigators means good news.I suppose there's no news, yet?

According to another article he was reported missing in 1977.Identified as Dennis R. McConn of Kenosha, born July 27, 1947 (aged 29) who was reported missing.
Human remains found four decades ago in Jackson County identified as Kenosha man
EDIT: As per some Ancestry records, it appears he may have been a railway worker in the late 1960s. Strangely there is a SSDI Death claim for him made in Jan 1977.
Well, his remains were in pretty bad condition, so the skull must have deteriorated.I believe I've found a photo of him on Ancestry - I can't say he much resembles the reconstructions, but those definitely depicted a man on the older side.

As far as I understand in some cases, a missing person can be declared deceased (as in the case of James Freund) if, for example, this person stops paying child support.
He was definitely McConn, may be it is a typo on Ancestry?I also found that photo but pretty sure the name was "McCann" rather than "McConn" (a transcription/indexing error) so not sure that is the correct person.
Also he is listed as preceding his mother in death in his mother’s obituary, she died in 2000. So the family suspected that something bad has happened to him.Based on other cases I've followed, I think you're right--if they've been missing and no financial activity like child support, no SS index activity, drivers license not renewed, no contact etc. for a certain number of years, usually seven. The date of death will usually be the date of disappearance. In some cases when there's a strong presumption of death (in a plane crash, swept away by a flood) it might take less time.
Sorry, I realize I was unclear - I had meant that the original yearbook that photo comes from has the name listed as "McCann", not McConn (the font used uses the 'a' that can be confused for an 'o' so that is likely how it came to be indexed under McConn).He was definitely McConn, may be it is a typo on Ancestry?
