PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. – Family members confirm that remains found in Pittsylvania County this week are those of Zakk Pruitt, who had been missing for nearly two months.

His sister, Krista Pruitt, said on Facebook that “it is with great sadness I regret to inform that our brother Zakk D. Pruitt’s remains were located yesterday. His body is currently with the State Medical Examiner. At this time our family still has more questions than answers.” She went on to thank those who have helped in the search and recovery effort.

A news release from the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office late Thursday night said only that the department “discovered a car with human remains on Wednesday.”

The news release confirmed that the body has been sent to the office of the state medical examiner but did not indicate where the vehicle was located or offer any other details.

Pruitt was reported missing in late July. He was last seen at Frank’s restaurant in Tightsqueeze and usually drove a green 2006 Pontiac G6.

An investigation is ongoing and state police are assisting.
