CHESTER, VA (NBC12) - Chesterfield Police responded to a report of a dead body in a vacant lot in the 12000 block of Jeff Davis Highway.

At this point, the investigation is in its earliest stages.

Around noon Friday, a citizen called police to report seeing human remains on a vacant lot on Jeff Davis Highway. Police responded to that scene in the 12000 block of Jeff Davis and did in fact find what they describe as a badly decomposed body.

Someone posted on the updated article in the comments section that the man's name is "Criss Ottis."

Probably just an online prankster, but maybe it's a start?

I'm not getting any hits on that name in google. Maybe it's spelled differently?
 
Yep, the poster was right (sort of)

Chesterfield County police have identified a man whose body was found last month in a marshy area off the 12000 block of Jefferson Davis Highway as Christopher Otis, 59.

The state medical examiner's office has not ruled on a cause of death but noted yesterday that foul play is not suspected.

Capt. Robert Skowron said Otis was homeless and apparently living in a car that was found parked at Bermuda Self Storage in the 10500 block of Jefferson Davis Highway.
