Authorities say skeletal remains and a wallet recently found are believed to belong to Charles Haywood.
The 91-year-old Haywood was reported missing on July 31, 2008. On May 28, 2026 his vehicle was recovered from the Green River near the Spottsville Boat Ramp in Henderson.
Authorities say the vehicle was transported to the Owensboro Police Department, where investigators conducted a search Friday morning. During that search, skeletal remains were located inside the vehicle.
Investigators also located a wallet containing Haywood’s driver’s license.
All windows of the vehicle were still intact, the doors were closed, and right now, authorities do not suspect any foul play.
Investigators presumptively believe the remains are those of Haywood and have been in contact with his family. The remains have been transported to the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville for further examination.
Positive identification is pending confirmation through DNA analysis and dental records.
