According to the Tallahassee Police Department, Winoker was reported missing in August 2021 and was last seen not far from where his remains were found.
On October 17, police announced that Just before 3 p.m., a group of individuals discovered those remains in a heavily wooded area in the 2600 block of Apalachee Parkway and notified law enforcement.
Winoker, who was 52-years-old at the time of his disappearance, was last seen by family members in the early morning hours of August 17, 2021, according to a report filed with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.

In August 2021, Winoker, accompanied by his wife, drove to Tallahassee from their Tampa home to drop one of their kids off at Florida State University. The wife said that her husband woke up disoriented at around 1 a.m., grabbed his wallet and keys, and left their hotel room without his phone, according to WCTV. What happened next to Winoker remains a mystery.
Police are keeping the investigation into this case active. For more on the story, see the video accompanying this article.
