Human remains found in Taylor County earlier this year have been identified as that of a Casey County man.

The body was found back in March near Green River Lake.

Authorities say the remains have been identified as that of Dennis Davis of Casey County. On March 28th, deputies with the Taylor County Sheriff's Office and Taylor County Coroner's Office were dispatched to a wooded area off of Smith Ridge Road, where a property owner had located the skeletal remains.

The Kentucky State Medical Examiner's Office in Louisville conducted DNA testing, and on Thursday, December 14th, the Coroner confirmed that the remains were those of Dennis Davis of Casey County.
