There is no word on whether these remains are connected to the two men from Louisiana who were reported missing. 73-year-old Johnny Hamilton's been missing since January 5. His vehicle was found in February in Texarkana. 39-year-old Jonathan Bohrer was reported missing on May 6, and his vehicle was found six days later on May 12. There has been no sign of either man.

There was a massive search that took place in that area of town last week, with multiple law enforcement and rescue crews involved. But no word if anything was found.

Our continued thoughts and prayers are going out to the families of Johnny Hamilton and Jonathon Bohrermen, and for both men to be found safe.
