Identified! TX - Liberty Co., Male found in wooded area, May '17 - Arnold 'Junior' Coker

Human remains were found in a wooded area along the 1400 block of CR 3737 in north Liberty County Monday, according to a statement from the Liberty County Sheriff's Office.

The remains, believed to be that of a white male, were first reported to authorities around 10 a.m.

"A nearby resident of the area found the remains and called the sheriff's office," said Capt. Ken DeFoor, spokesperson for the sheriff's office. "Sheriff's investigators are in the process of interviewing residents in the area during this early state of the investigation in an attempt to determine the identity of the deceased and to establish any sightings anyone may have that would help in clearing up details as to why the man would have been in the wooded area."

Reading up on this I learned about the Missing Texas 40 in Liberty and a neighboring county. Hopefully this will bring some closure to loved ones.

It's the southwestern edge of the East Texas Piney Woods. My husband is from East Texas. I call him a $#:%! hillbilly whenever I am mad and I really want to get his attention. [emoji6]

No seriously, the Texas 40, and all of those MPs and UIDs in the Texas Killing Fields and. I45 corridor is beyond overwhelming.

I would like to know the estimated PM interval before I start looking. I got 5 just from putting Liberty County and male in Namus.
