GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — More than a year after human skeletal remains were discovered at a construction site in Gwinnett County, authorities have identified the victim as a man who had been missing for nearly five years.
Officials with the Lawrenceville Police Department and the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office say the remains belong to 57-year-old Timothy Williams, who was reported missing in July 2020.
Authorities say DNA testing was used to confirm his identity. Investigators compared DNA from the remains with a sample provided by Williams’ mother.
Police say Williams was last known to be alive on July 18, 2020. His last known location was near his home in Duluth.
