Police find unidentified burned body and missing Morristown man's vehicle

Update

Authorities are investigating after police found an unidentified burned body and a missing Morristown man's vehicle on the bed of a lake in Grainger County.

A hunter reported a suspicious vehicle on the Cherokee Lake bed near Bean Station in the 5500 block of Highway 11W.

The man reported that he saw a silver Mazda parked on the bed for a couple of days while duck hunting. Authorities discovered the vehicle belonged to a man who had been reported in Morristown days earlier, 26-year-old Skyler Etgen.

Deputies discovered a cell phone and wallet and called two K9 teams. A K9 discovered a burned body a short distance from the vehicle.

The body has yet to be positively identified as of Wednesday and has been sent to Knox County for an autopsy.

Following the discovery of Etgen’s 2010 Mazda 3, a foot search was conducted by Wyckoff and Cruze. According to reports, the officers recovered a wallet and cell phone. Identification in the wallet reportedly matched the registration of the vehicle.

Two K9 officers were dispatched to the scene. Both K9s alerted to a burned body located inside the wood line adjacent to where the vehicle was located.

Oh no. This is so sad. I tried running different scenarios through my mind but it's too upsetting. Though I would like to know if he was burned before or after he was killed, because I'm praying that he didn't have to experience the agony of that, at least.
