JAY, Okla. – Skeletal remains discovered in February belong to Chris Teel, a Jay man who’s been missing for six years.
Teel’s remains were discovered northeast of Jay on Feb. 12 by a man who was cutting wood in a rural area and noticed his dog was visibly agitated. When the man went to investigate, he saw skeletal remains and called the Delaware County authorities.

“In some ways, the long nightmare is over,” said Tracy Teel Bishop, Chris’ mother. “But we still want to find out what happened to Chris.”
“The manner of death is inconclusive and the case is still under investigation,” said Delaware County Sheriff James Beck.
Beck said a DNA swab from Teel’s mother matched and confirmed his identity.
Teel, a member of the Cherokee Nation tribe, had been profiled on many missing person websites
