When local police arrived, they pulled out a truck and were shocked to find human remains inside.
Police said that the vehicle matched with a missing person, Oscar Lewis King, who was first reported missing more than a decade ago in north Alabama.
King, who mysteriously disappeared in 2013, was 74 at the time of his disappearance.
