Jacsonville, Fla. — Corbin Johnson was last seen July 11, 2018 after he did not return home from a series of job interviews.
Exactly one year later, skeletal remains were dug up by a man clearing land 12 miles from where the 18-year-old was living at the time he disappeared.
Jacksonville Sheriff's officials say the skeletal remains were wrapped in some type of plastic bag or tarp.
Authorities were able to identify Johnson Monday despite earlier claims that it would take weeks to identify the body.
