Skeletal Remains Found in Knoxville are Identified

Investigators have identified skeletal remains found in Knoxville nearly two years ago.

In November 2022, skeletal remains were found by a tree trimming service which were sent to the Knox County Regional Forensic Center.

Experts determined the person was a man and in December, investigators entered details on the case into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System but the case went cold due to a lack of leads.

Last year, the Knox County Regional Forensic Center sent the remains to an out of state lab who identified the remains as 33 year-old Cody Wilhite who had been missing from the Knoxville area since 2020.
