The body of missing Boyd County man Justin Reeder was found on Monday on County Road 218/Tunnel Ridge Road in Lawrence County, Ohio, according to police.
Justin Reeder was last seen on his skateboard on October 16 on 29th Street in Ashland.
The 21-year-old texted his dad that someone was going to pick him up, but he never returned home.
On Monday, Justin’s father, Tim, searched a field near I-64 in Ashland.
“It’s been a living hell. I’ve never experienced nothing so bad in my life,” Tim told LEX 18 before his son’s body was found. “It’s the worst thing that’s happened to me.”

Jacob Lane,24, of Franklin Furnace, Ohio, was already in the Boyd County Jail charged with 2nd degree burglary from an alleged incident at Tim’s house.
“The last person that was with him had his phone and keys, because I caught the man in my house with his keys,” said Tim.
Police say Lane shot Reeder to death on the day he vanished. LEX 18 spoke to Tim Reeder after he was notified of his son’s death.
“It’s the worst day of my life, that I found out my son been murdered. I’m sorry I can’t help it. It’s an awful thing to find out that your son has been dead and laying in the woods for 8 days,” said Reeder.
