Mullen was first reported missing by his family on September 15, after missing his brother’s wedding in Texas.

The body was discovered on the side of a rural road by an equipment mechanic/operator on a property about a quarter mile from the Putnam County line. The man said he noticed an unusual pile of dirt that led to the discovery.

“We found him probably no more than 6 to 7 meters from the side of the road, in the front yard of the property,” Robert Rash said. Action News Jax.

“Only the location of the pile was wrong, because there is no road through it. There is no drainage there,” said Rash.
