WATERTOWN, TN An intact skull was located on a property off of Taylor Road in Watertown on Sunday afternoon which led detectives to the location of the human remains of longtime missing person, David Riemens. With the weather not cooperating with the search, detectives were not able to conduct a thorough search until yesterday morning. Riemens had been missing since August 8, 2012, as the high-profile case received national attention after vanishing from the parking lot of a Dollar General Store in Watertown, Tennessee, at the age of 60. Experts have positively identified the remains to Riemens, an artist and stonemason who appeared to have a lifestyle of living off the grid.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and to the community of Watertown where he was very well thought of by everyone that knew him, stated Sheriff Robert Bryan. We appreciate all of the help we received in an attempt to locate Mr. Riemens. He lived off the grid, with no social media accounts, credit cards or cell phones which made this case very tough on finding leads; tracking his movements digitally was out of the question.
This case will continue to be investigated by our Criminal Investigation Division.
