LIVINGSTON, La. (AP) - Officials say that a human bone found by a cleanup crew in a south Louisiana river belongs to a man who never returned from a fishing trip.
Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard tells The Advocate that foul play is not suspected in the death of Oscar Kinchen.
A crew that was cleaning debris out of the Tickfaw River south of Louisiana 42 in Livingston Parish found the bone on Aug. 6.

Ard says officials gave the bone to a Louisiana State University lab that specializes in forensic anthropology and identifying human remains. The lab used DNA to match the bone to Kinchen.
Kinchen was last seen walking down a driveway toward the Tickfaw River in Livingston on July 16, 2016. A friend reported him missing five days later.
