Human Remains Found By Real Estate Investor In Recently-Purchased Foreclosed Home Believed To Be Former Owner Who Went Missing 15+ Years Ago

In Tate County, Mississippi, The Examiner reports:
  • Charlie Williams, 62, who lived in Senatobia, Mississippi disappeared over 15-years-ago, in August of 1995. His wife, children and grandchildren never knew what happened to him. Then two months ago, Charlie's wife passed away. The house went into foreclosure and was bought by an investor.

  • The investor hired construction workers to begin renovating the house and when the workers were tearing up the floor, they found remains in a hole in the floor at the front of the house. The Tate County Sheriff's Department was called.

  • "Right now we're in the process of trying to confirm the identity of this person," said Sheriff Brad Lance. Tamika Jackson believe that the bones are the remains of her uncle. The medical examiner will determine how Charlie died and will confirm the identity with DNA. Deputies talked with neighbors and they all remembered when Charlie went missing and have all came to the conclusion that the remains are of Charlie.
