I had seen that also, and had not posted it for the same reason, but I now think it is a possibility.Re-posted on Michigan Lost N Missing on 9/22. In that post there is a vehicle mentioned - a 2018 Black Ford Cobra. I previously found that he been charged with DUI 3 times in the past with his most recent discharge date of March of 2018. I hadn't mentioned it before because I wasn't sure he had a vehicle and didn't want to cast any negative connotations his way. Now that I know he had transportation as well as 3 previous DUI charges, I'm leaning towards an accident that just hasn't been found. Despite this potential, I'm still praying he is found safe very soon!

I don't see any mention of the vehicle being found?A forensic autopsy performed at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo confirmed that the victim is 58-year-old Jody Dean Howe of Marquette.

Investigators have not released further details, including the location where Howe’s body was found, the means used to confirm his identity, the suspected means of his death, or why they believe it was a homicide.

Wow! That was quite a turn of events on such a quiet case. It's interesting to me that his body was sent all the way to Kalamazoo for an autopsy. Is there something they specialize in at WMU that would help them in this case?A forensic autopsy performed at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo confirmed that the victim is 58-year-old Jody Dean Howe of Marquette.

Generally speaking, Universities have much better forensic labs than rural medical examiners do so it's not uncommon for very decomposed remains to be sent off to them for analysis and that analysis can take a very long time as there can be big backlogs so we can't even assume that the remains were found recently. Hopefully there will be justice forthcoming.Wow! That was quite a turn of events on such a quiet case. It's interesting to me that his body was sent all the way to Kalamazoo for an autopsy.

I am a local and nothing has been said regarding his car. There are a lot of (uncomfirmed) rumors but there are people the police are watching carefully and, as I know the area where he was found ( i grew up a few miles from there), I can say that the only way anyone would think to look there is if someone talked.I don't see any mention of the vehicle being found?

Not a public one......Is there a report with more details about where the body was found?
