The body of a man reported missing three months ago was believed to be found buried in Barrow County, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Montez Watson disappeared in February from Walton County, officials told the news station.
His body was thought to be discovered Wednesday on Fleeman Road in neighboring Barrow County. The GBI is on the scene.
Investigators are treating the case as a homicide, Channel 2 reported.
Damien Mercer of the Walton County Sheriff’s Office called a house they were searching a “crime scene” that “may be connected” to the body found in Barrow County.
The body has not been positively identified, GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles said.
