MACON, Ga. — Bibb deputies are investigating after human remains were found in the woods in Macon Wednesday afternoon.
13WMAZ was working on an update to the story of missing man James Dumas, who was last seen in December, when an employee found a body in the woods off Sheridan Avenue around 1 p.m.
Investigators just arrived at the scene and are not letting people past the intersection of Grant and Sherman avenues.
So far, the remains have not been positively identified, but family and neighbors told 13WMAZ they believe it’s Dumas. His daughter, Luela, says he’s wandered off into the woods before, but they’ve found him in the past.
They say he left home without his phone the night he went missing.
He was last seen on Dec. 9 when he went to a dialysis appointment and was dropped off at his home. The next day, his family went to his house, but he was not there.
