The GSCO has confirmed the arrest of three people after its investigation revealed that the initial reports made by Roger Pitt Sr.'s family members were not consistent with the findings of investigators. The inconsistencies resulted in the GSCO conducting several searches in the area, which uncovered the remains of the missing man.

The Sheriff's Office didn't say what the cause of death was, but did say that the remains were found on the family's property.
