Law enforcement officials plan a press conference Wednesday about James Rembowski, the convicted sex offender who went missing from Dayton in 2007 and whose body was found months later in Preble County.

Officials with the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office and Dayton police said Tuesday they could not comment until Wednesday. But police entered a police report on Monday that listed Rembowski’s death as a homicide.

Rembowski, 53, had lived on Huffman Avenue and had an extensive criminal record that included a conviction in Florida for a sex offense.

Police went to Rembowski’s home on April 13, 2007 on the report of a disturbance. His roommates told them they last saw Rembowski packing a suitcase, News Center 7 reported in 2010.

On July 18, 2008, a passerby discovered a pile of bones behind an old barn on an abandoned property in the 7000 block of Lexington-Salem Road. In 2010, DNA testing identified the bones as being Rembowski’s.

Before his fate was known, a Montgomery County grand jury indicted Rembowski in Nov. 2007 for failing to register as a sex offender, leading him to be listed as one of the Miami Valley’s Most Wanted. His indictment was dismissed after authorities learned he was dead.
