Officials have not yet identified the body, which was found in the passenger area of the truck, because it was in an advanced stage of decomposition. The Volusia County Medical Examiner’s Office is examining the remains and will compare them to Hiles' dental records.

Hiles' family has been notified.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Thomas Yovanovich at 386-506-5897.
