Wood County investigators have identified partial skeletal remains as those of a missing Marshfield man.

Wood County Sheriff Shawn Becker says the remains discovered this week in the Town of Rock southwest of Marshfield belong to Zachary Lee Vasa, who was last seen in June of 2020.

He said the family has been notified and they are now moving foward with the investigation.

Sheriff Becker says the search for the rest of Vasa’s remains continues.  There are still interviews taking place and it's a very active case that they are working on, but they are glad that they have the person identified that has been missing since last June.

While Vasa’s death has not been ruled a homicide, Becker says that’s how they’re treating the investigation.   He says investigators have not determined a cause of death.

He says investigators are still searching the area and interviewing people, all while trying to establish Vasa’s whereabouts leading up to his death.
