CHUBBUCK A body found near Chubbuck on Saturday has been identified as a local man originally reported missing nearly a year ago.
Karl Lockhart was 32 when he was reported missing last June, according to Chubbuck Chief of police Bill Guiberson.
Lockhart’s remains were found by a group of surveyors in a field near North Nelson lane north of Chubbuck in Bannock County Saturday afternoon.
Although Lockhart had been missing for nearly 10 months, and his body was found in a state of decomposition, it is unlikely that he has been in the field for anywhere near that amount of time, Bannock County Sheriff Tony Manu said.

The deceased has been identified, Bannock County Sheriff Tony Manu told EastIdahoNews.com, but the name will not be made public until the next of kin have been notified.
