Human remains identified as Splendora man By Vanesa Brashier, vbrashier@hcnonline.com Published 8:11 pm, Wednesday, May 24, 2017 Human remains found Tuesday in a wooded area off of CR 3737 in Liberty County have been identified as Arnold Lee "Junior" Coker Jr., according to authorities. A wallet with his ID card found in his front pants pockets, as well as tattoos with family members' named, helped confirm Coker's identity, according to Sgt. Investigator Travis Pierce with the Liberty County Sheriff's Office. Due to the badly decomposing state of the body, the wallet was not found initially but was located during a secondary search. Coker, 35, had been missing since May 7 or 8, his mother, Paula Johnson, said by phone Wednesday. Coker split his time between Johnson's house in the Southern Oaks Subdivision in Splendora, just a short distance from where he was found, and his aunt's house near Shepherd, his mother said. "He was my only baby boy," the grieving mother said. "I knew something was wrong when he didn't call me on Mother's Day. It was out of character for him." According to Johnson, the mother of Coker's daughter found his remains Tuesday while out trying to locate him. "We've all been worried sick about him," his mother said. The coroner still hasn't made a ruling on the cause of death but Johnson suspects her son's health problems might have been a factor. "He was an addict and had been trying to get help for six months. He was trying to get into a rehab," she said. Coker, an ironworker, had been unemployed for some time, she said, and had been experiencing chest pains. "His daddy passed away in 2015 and then his aunt died, and he had been having trouble coping," Johnson said. "An ambulance had been called to our house a couple of times but he had refused to go with them." The family has set up a Go Fund Me account to help with funeral expenses.
