Investigators dug up part of the backyard when they found human male remains in a “homemade coffin under the ground,” officials said.

An autopsy was completed and the body was identified as Bruce Brown.

Brown had not been seen or heard from since April, which is when investigators started looking into the case.

Brown’s daughter, 53-year-old Gennice Walker, “refused to cooperate” with the investigation, authorities said.
