OCEANA COUNTY, MI - Human remains found near Cadillac earlier this year have been positively identified as belonging to James Hepworth of Pentwater.

DNA testing conducted by Michigan State University's Forensic Biology Laboratory confirmed the remains were Hepworth's, according to a news release from the Michigan State Police Cadillac Post.

Hepworth went missing on Aug. 1, 2016, after he walked off his job. Statements he made to co-workers and family made law officials immediately concerned about his welfare, believing that he could be suicidal.

A K-9 unit located the remains around 1 p.m. March 28 as part of an ongoing search for Hepworth. The remains were found in South Branch Township of Wexford County about 1 mile from where Hepworth's vehicle was located in August 2016. The vehicle was found near Dobson Bridge over the Pine River three days after his disappearance.
