The mystery behind a missing Bartlesville man ended on a sad note.
Osage County Sheriff's office says the body of 62-year-old Timothy Hauser was found by a hunter on Saturday less than a mile from where he was robbed and assaulted back in August. While investigators are sure of the identification, a DNA test will still be conducted.
The hunter found the body while tracking a deer. The sheriff's office says the body was concealed in heavy vegetation which has been cleared since the summer.
Charges may be changed or there may be more added since Hauser was found dead.
Three people have already been charged. 41-year-old Rusty Boyd Petty and 28-year-old Trysta Shaffer were charged with conjoint robbery. 36-year-old Kathleen Roland was charged with being an accessory after the fact.
