Leads grow cold in Tuscaloosa County missing persons case

TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, Ala. — It's been nearly six months since anyone has seen or heard from a Tuscaloosa County man, and investigators said leads in the case are growing cold.

Emmet Kyzer's wheelchair was found in the front yard of his Tuscaloosa County home in late June, but there has been but no sign of Kyzer himself since the night of June 27.

"Well, the investigation is kind of at a standstill. You know at first, leads were coming in pretty regularly and we were following up on every leads that was given to us. Now, the leads have slowed,” said Kenny Shipman, with the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office.

In the weeks following Kyzer's disappearance, crews searched wooded areas around his Keenes Mill Road home.

At one point, deputies even expanded the search to an area that borders a neighboring county.

Authorities said they've been certain about one thing since the beginning: Someone knows something.

"We're just pleading to the public that anybody that may have some information on this case to come forward,” Shipman said.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WIAT) — Skeletal remains of a human victim have been recovered in Tuscaloosa County.

Logging crews were working in the area of Ed Stephens Rd and Progress Dr when they found what they thought might be a human bone. The Tuscaloosa Homicide Unit come to the scene and stayed all evening and night, processing the scene and unearthing other pieces of skeletal remains.

A local anthropologist and his team were called in, and they were able to confirm the remains as human. Based on evidence found at the scene, investigators think the victim died as a result of foul play. The cause of death has yet to be determined, and the remains will be sent to the Alabama Dept. of Forensic Science for examination and identification.

Captain Kip Hart asks anyone in the area who may have seen anything suspicious to contact the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit, the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, or Crimestoppers.

Hart explained they will not be speculating as to the victim’s identity. The family of Emmet Kyzer, the Cottondale man who has been missing since June of 2016, posted on Facebook that they were made aware of the unidentified human remains, which were found several miles away from Kyzer’s home.

Officials will hold a press conference this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. You can watch it live right here.
