Pulaski County Sheriff Bobby Jones believes the human remains may be those of David Whitt, a 20-year-old man who’s been missing since September.

Jones said the reasoning was based on the location and condition of the remains.

Whitt allegedly assaulted a deputy in September and fled on foot afterward; the incident took place near the area where the remains were found.

The remains were found by a farmer on Bethlehem Ridge Road.

The Pulaski County coroner suspects the remains may be of a person missing since September.

The remains were sent to Frankfort for an autopsy and DNA comparison.

No other information was immediately available.
