Identified! FL - Ocala National Forest, human remains found in shallow grave, Oct 2019 - Daniel Allen Jones

Detectives are investigating after a set of human remains were found in the Ocala National Forest. A man who had been hunting in the forest noticed what he thought were deer scratchings on the ground about 200 yards into a trail off Forest Road 5 as he was walking to his tree stand.

The hunter returned at a later time and noticed leaves covering the area and thought it looked suspicious, so he asked his friend to bring a shovel. After clearing the brush and digging, the man said he found something that "smelled really bad like death".

I wonder if the leaves got there via wind or someone was trying to cover the area. Even creepier, was the murderer watching the hunter when he first went there?
