Authorities in Missouri confirmed that human remains found on a private property in Mercer County Tuesday by a turkey hunter belonged to an Iowa teen who had been missing for about six years.
Sebastian Tyrese Husted, 18, last contacted his brother on Jan. 22, 2018, asking for a ride from his job at a Mercer County hog confinement.
When the brother asked for an address, Sebastian never answered; the teen, who was about to become a father to his first son Kendrick, vanished leaving everything but his phone behind.
“It’s a day many people have prayed and hoped for,” the missing teen’s sister Iesha Husted said on Facebook.
“We have found Ty and are bringing him home. While this was never the outcome we wanted, we are relieved our search is over.”
“The question of where is answered, the who, what, when, and why remain.”
