Hope there is some DNA on that bicycle because we all KNOW PawPaw DID NOT ride that bicycle to that area.
RIP Mr. Chambers

Agreed! This just makes no sense why he would be at this part of the lake. It would be a long and difficult way to travel via bicycle from where he lived in Quinlan (or kinda seems closer to Cash).

For those not familiar with the area, Highway 276 is a somewhat busy road and the parts that go through the countryside have no shoulder. I can't imagine riding this road on a bicycle through West Tawakoni, much less across the 2-Mile Bridge!
Once you are across 2-Mile you are in Rains County. He would have also had to cross another smaller set of bridges on 276 to end up where the remains were found. Technically, that area is just past East Tawakoni and is in Point, and is at least 15-20 miles away from where he lived.
I guess it is possible, but to me, it would have been a difficult journey.
 
"Since the recovery of the remains investigators have awaited the results of the examination, the process of obtaining a DNA profile and process of identifying the DNA profile," read a statement from the Hunt County Sheriff's Office in the Greenville Herald-Banner. "The Hunt County Sheriff’s Office recently obtained those results and have been in contact with family members of the identified person."

“I ask for the continued prayers for the Chambers family. Mr. Chambers family have waited for answers for a long time, and I hope this brings some closure to the Chambers family. This remains an open investigation and my office will continue to diligently investigate this case," Hunt County Sheriff Terry Jones said in a statement to the newspaper.

Well there is this article. ********************Published April 3, 2018 at 12:42 PM CDT
Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks has retracted his statement that Michael Chambers may have committed suicide.

Thirteen months after a retired firefighter went missing from his Hunt County home, Sheriff Randy Meeks says the man vanished on the other in East Tawakoni.

Last March, Michael Chambers disappeared from his home near Quinlan. On Monday, Meeks told Dallas radio station KRLD that the investigation found phone records showing Chambers cell phone crossed the two-mile bridge connecting East Tawakoni to West Tawakoni at about two-and-a-half miles per hour.

Meeks told the Herald-Banner that he thinks Chambers crossed the bridge on a bike.

On Monday, TV station NBC-5 reported that Meeks suspected Chambers had jumped from the bridge and committed suicide. On Tuesday, Meeks walked that comment back in the Herald-Banner, saying he misspoke and that he had no evidence to back up the claim. He told the Herald-Banner that dive crews had already searched the area around the bridge and had turned up nothing.

Chambers was last seen on a surveillance camera at the Quinlan Walmart March 10, 2017.
