Justin Tyler Sawyer's body has been found in Northeast Clarksville — 76 days after his disappearance on Dec. 17.
After a lengthy, two-month search with unanswered questions of Sawyer's whereabouts, his family now plans to lay him to rest.
On Tuesday, Sawyer's body was found on Kennedy Road off Trenton Road, a residential area with homes, several churches and woodland.
The following day, medical examiner's office in Nashville examined Sawyer's body, confirming his identity.
"It has been a long journey," said his father, Ricky Sawyer.
"With us finding his remains, that can bring a degree of closure. Now we can give him a proper homegoing service and start the healing process."
