Dylan Rounds, 19, spoke with his grandmother early Saturday morning, 2022, and that was the last time anyone spoke to the farmer. His pickup truck and other equipment remain on the property, but his wallet and phone gone.
Rounds' boots were found discarded on the farm, but mother Candice Cooley, says Dylan was particular about his footwear and only wore the one pair. Those boots were found near a property where James Brenner, age 60, was squatting.
Now Brenner has pleaded guilty to second-degree felony murder in the death. Police say Rounds died from a gunshot wound to the head.
