Alachua County Sheriff's Office

Alachua County deputies are asking anyone with information about a man's murder to come forward 23 years after his body was found in a wooded area.

Robert Howard was 24 years old when he was reported missing from the Arredondo Farms area on August 5, 1992.

Deputies said his skeletal remains were found in a field near there on April 18, 1994.

Deputies posted a photo of Howard on Facebook Tuesday.

A medical examiner listed the cause of death as homicide because of injuries discovered during an autopsy.

They are asking anyone with information about the cold case to call Detective Kevin Allen at (352) 384-3323.
