Nearly seven months later, authorities are still awaiting results for the identity of human remains found in October in Pettis County.

The remains were found Saturday, Oct. 27 by a Missouri Department of Conservation agent in a densely wooded area near the Eagle Brook Farm subdivision.

On Friday, Smith said it appears the man died of natural causes and Bond said no evidence has been found to suggest any foul play.

Smith and the sheriff’s office gathered records from area missing person cases to help give authorities a better grasp on who the remains may belong to. After the Boone County office, the remains were sent to a forensic anthropologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Smith said his office just received the remains a few weeks ago and he is still waiting for the anthropologist’s report.

“They don’t do any DNA testing, they look for fractures, bullet wounds, anything that might be construed as a bullet injury, all of that,” Smith explained. “They also extracted DNA from the bones, obtained our samples for us so we could have something to send.”

Bond said the Missouri State Highway Patrol lab where Pettis County sends its forensic evidence also does not conduct the type of DNA testing needed for these remains. MSHP referred Bond and Smith to a private facility in Texas and Smith is preparing to send the remains soon.

Smith said he hopes to have final results in the next month.

Smith did say a fractured vertebra was found, but due to the age of the remains, there was no way to determine if the fracture happened before or after death.

Investigation continues into found remains

Remains still unidentified one year later


According to a Pettis County Sheriff’s Office news release last year, the Boone County Medical Examiner’s Office released initial findings to Pettis County Coroner Skip Smith that determined the remains are of a Caucasian male age 35 to 45.

Sheriff Kevin Bond told the Democrat last year the remains were entirely skeletal and that they had been there “an extended amount of time.” He also said the remains were found on the surface rather than buried and that most of the skeleton was recovered. Little other evidence was found and Bond said none of it was individually identifying.

Now November, the identity is still not confirmed, although Smith said he and detectives believe they know who it is.

The remains are believed to be a white male, age 35-45, who had been there for "an extended time." Of those missing in Sedalia, Timothy Gibson II is the most obvious fit. He went missing in 2015, at age 39, after being released from the hospital.
