I agree, according to the news reports from September 2020 Tyler Henry was last seen on Sand Lake Road and Well Street in Onalaska. Sand Lake Road runs parallel to HWY 53 and Well St appears to dead end at HWY 53. The news report states HWY 53 is where the remains were found.

Possible evidence of ID of body found in Onalaska

Onalaska’s police chief says there are some signs that the remains found near Highway 53 may be those of a missing man last seen about 8 months ago. But Chief Charles Ashbeck says an autopsy being done on Tuesday and other investigations should help determine whether the body was that of Tyler Henry, spotted near Sand Lake Road in September of last year.
