Justin Trimble
The body of a man who has been missing for over a week after he was last seen on a motorcycle in the Tunnel Boulevard area has been found in woods near the Wilcox Tunnel.
Family and friends of 33-year-old Justin Trimble had organized large search parties trying to find him.
He had last been seen leaving a friend's house on a black 2007 Kawasaki motorcycle on May 30.
At 6:26 p.m., officers with the Chattanooga Police Department were called to the scene of a crash at 2500 Wilcox Blvd. concerning a body found.
A crashed motorcycle was located in the woods just west of the Wilcox tunnel by Wilcox Boulevard.
A deceased male was lying underneath the motorcycle in the woods.
The on scene investigation revealed that the motorcycle was traveling west through the Wilcox Tunnel. The road curves to the left after the tunnel. Police said it appeared that the driver/rider did not negotiate the turn and went over a curb and into the woods.
The Medical Examiner’s office was notified and responded for the deceased. At this point it appears that the death was a result of the crash, police said.
Chattanooga Police ask anyone with information regarding this incident to call 423-698-2525.
