The body of a missing truck driver has been found in an Iowa field close to where his abandoned rig which was carrying pigs was discovered just before Thanksgiving.

David Schultz's semi was found parked in the middle of the road on an isolated highway on November 21 and his death remains a mystery. 

The 53-year-old's family confirmed he was found dead on Wednesday and said the Sac County Sheriff's Office identified him by the boots he was wearing and the keys in his pocket. 

'I had a feeling he would be found... when the farmers were getting their fields ready,' his wife Sarah Schultz told a news conference on Thursday. 'But I just didn't know when. And it was yesterday.' 

She said the discovery has brought a mixture of relief and sorrow as there are a lot of unanswered questions.
