An Alabama man’s fishing trip to a popular lake was interrupted after he found human remains inside a vehicle that belonged to someone who had gone missing over a decade previously.

The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that an unidentified fisherman called police on Friday.

The fisherman said that he had spotted what appeared to be a truck in the murky waters of Weiss Lake in Cherokee County, Alabama.

When local police arrived, they pulled out a truck and were shocked to find human remains inside.
