"According to a release from the office, deputies were called to a home on Shropshire Hollow Road in reference to human remains that were later identified as 73-year-old Joe Hall. Upon arrival, deputies were reportedly led to a barn where dogs had dragged the remains onto the property."

I know the method of recovery sounds gross, but it's actually great that those dogs brought the remains to that location. Also big thanks to the people there who did the right thing and called LE, or Mr Hall would still be missing.

Rest in peace, Mr. Hall.
