ST. FRANCISVILLE — A crew trimming trees discovered on Thursday the decomposed body of a missing Woodville, Miss., man and a wrecked motorcycle in grass and brush off U.S. 61, State Police Troop A spokesman Johnnie Brown said.
The body was identified as that of Joel D. Williams, 24, who was reported missing in June, Brown said. License plate information led to confirmation of Williams’ identity by the Woodville Police Department and the Wilkinson County, Miss., Sheriff’s Office.
Troopers investigating the crash determined that Williams was driving north on U.S. 61 when he left the roadway as it curved to the right, Brown said. His motorcycle entered a ravine, crashing into a tree.
West Feliciana Parish Sheriff J. Austin Daniel said the motorcycle was about 100 feet off the highway in the Hardwood community.
The body of its apparent rider was found in tall grass about 50 feet off the roadway.
Williams was wearing a helmet and alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in this crash, Brown said.
