<<Investigators searched the lumberyard, and a piece of "flesh-like material” with red stains consistent with blood, and white hair, was located in some soil on the property. DNA testing later proved the "flesh-like material" was Mohler's, but there was no sign of him.
In November 2017, a witness told police she'd overheard two men, who were drunk, talk about killing Mohler. Supposedly, they were stealing from the lumberyard when Mohler caught them, and in the struggle he was unintentionally killed. The men reportedly said they'd dumped the body in an abandoned well in the woods. In 2019, acting on this information, police dug up an abandoned well near the lumberyard. An officer thought he smelled human remains there, but the dig turned up nothing of interest.
Mohler is an Army veteran and a religious man who helped found Fresh Oil Ministries, a church in Hickory, North Carolina. He was also a strong believer in alternative medicine and kept an herb garden. He was close to his family and hoped to be named the legal guardian of his young granddaughter.
Foul play is suspected in Mohler's case; both police and his loved ones believe he was attacked at his workplace and abducted. His case remains unsolved.>>
