The Missouri State Highway Patrol said on Tuesday around 3 p.m., the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office asked for the agency’s assistance after receiving a call regarding the human remains, which were found on private property.

The remains were found along the state line in Mercer County, KCCI reported.

A few days later, the remains were identified as those of Sebastian Tyrese Husted, authorities said.

He was reported missing by the Centerville Police Department on Jan. 22, 2018, according to officials. He was 18 years old at the time, KCRG reported.

Husted’s cause of death remains under investigation, the news station reported. No information has been released yet saying if foul play is suspected.

Husted reportedly got a ride to work with a co-worker to assist in cleaning a hog confinement farm in Lineville, Missouri, investigators told KCCI. Husted made it to work that day but never made it home.
