The coroner said the bones were found in a wooded area near Interstate 70. Sisler’s cousin Janice Mullins said, “At least we’re not left not knowing what happened to him.”

“We thank God that he revealed where David was and we know that God will bring justice to those responsible for doing that to him,” Mullins said.
The corner in Clark County has turned to the case over to Springfield Police who will be the lead agency investigating Sisler’s death.
