TAMPA, Fla. — Decomposed remains found in a watery ditch on Dale Mabry have been identified as a man reported missing a year ago, the sheriff's office says.

Victor Torres, 60, was reported missing on July 9, 2018 — almost a year to the day the remains were found. His family reported him missing when a relative was unable to find him after a doctor's appointment.
