CARTER COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Skeletal remains found last month in rural Carter County have been identified as a 33-year-old Charleston, W.Va., man, according to information from the Kentucky State Medical Examiner's Office.

The man's name was Timothy W. Sigman. Identification was made with dental records by the medical examiner's office.

On Aug. 7, Kentucky State Police Post 14 received information that there were human remains on Leadingham Branch in the Willard area of Carter County. Detectives from Post 14 arrived and found what appeared to be skeletal remains.

In a separate incident, the medical examiner's office has identified remains found by construction workers in a wooded area off of Happy Ridge Road near the Boyd/Greenup county line in Kentucky. The person is identified as Delbert Dillow, age and hometown unavailable. Dillow was reported missing to Kentucky State Police in July 1999. No foul play is suspected in that case at this time.

Delbet Dillow was my uncle (moms brother) FYI He came from a very large family and we all have wondered for almost 10 yrs what happened to him. It gives us some peace of mind that he can finally be laid to rest. I'm sure he's rejoicing on the other side with my grandparents and many of his brothers and sister that gone on. RIP Uncle Delbert!

When is someone higher up than our KSP or Local police going to do something about this place? Drugs and Murder are everywhere here, this poor man was found on the property of a known drug dealer and they have still not put it all together? I pray for this mans family he has left behind. God be with you.

My husband and I met Delbert in 1996, right before we got married, I always enjoyed talking to him. I am glad that he can finally be put to rest. (No thanks to the media.) My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

How can they update with more information when they obviously don't have any more information right now? Why is everyone so hyper-critical of the newsteam? Give these people a break.

Why didn't it say if he had been listed as a missing person? Was he? This article should be updated. After reading it it just makes you wonder about all the facts that is missing from it.

What does Jeopardy have to do with this? I'm related to Delbert Dillow. Delbert disappeared in 1999 and we looked for him for a very long time and could not locate him. His remains were found about a year ago and until today we did not know for sure it was him. Please keep children and family in your prayers.
