Upon arrival, deputies spoke to an area resident who stated that he did not recognize the vehicle and called the owners of the residence where the truck was parked. The owners weren’t home at the time and asked that the neighbor call the police. Deputies ran the license plate of the vehicle, a dark colored Ford pickup, and found that it was associated to a missing person out of Harris County. Deputies began a search of the wooded area behind the residences and found a deceased white male who appeared to be in his mid to late twenties.
