Authorities say the remains were found in a home on the city's north side on Sunday, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Police say the man's body has not been identified.

According to a police report, the man was reported missing by his wife on June 22.

He was last seen leaving the home around 5pm that day, police say.

The man's wife told police that he was with her at the time of the disappearance, but it's not clear if he was with her at the time of the disappearance.
