Anderson County Deputies were called Tuesday morning around 9:00am to the area around mile marker 29 on I-85 when human remains were discovered by crews working with the South Carolina Department of Transportation.

The Anderson County Coroner’s Office identified the body as David Wayne Oakely, 37, of Anderson. Oakley was reported missing when his vehicle was found on Interstate 85 north near mile marker 30 back in June of 2017.

Oakley’s remains were found in a wooded area near the interstate and appeared to show no signs and/or indication of foul play, the coroner’s office said. The investigation is ongoing by the Anderson County Sheriff’s and Coroner’s Offices.
