The family had given up hope until Wednesday, December 4, when they got news from a local radio station that the remains of a man in an advanced state of decomposition had been found in Ndaaka.

Although most of the corpse was skeletal, the shape the skull was enough to convince his relatives that it was that of Godlove Tiba.
