Six days after Frantz’s death, police said family members located skeletal remains in a treehouse at Frantz’s home.
One of Frantz’s daughters told a family friend it was her 28-year-old brother, Hank, who had been missing for four years.
An investigator with the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office said it’s probably Hank, but he said they’re still trying to confirm his identity.
He also said he doesn’t have a cause of death and doesn’t suspect foul play.
Police in Maui continue to investigate Frantz’s death.
