FOX 26 first reported back in mid-August about Timothy Perez, 32, who drove to Austin around March to visit his brother. The family confirmed Saturday his skeletal remains were found Tuesday in Williamson County, Texas. 

"He said 'yes, I'm lost,' and I said, 'pull over, and I'll come to get you,'" said Timothy's father Robert Perez. "He tried to call his brother, and his brother missed the call, he missed the call at 2 o'clock in the morning."
