A murder probe is now underway following the discovery of a body - but authorities have not confirmed if it belongs to Dyson.
The missing man was last seen six years ago on November 17 at about 11pm.
He was walking along the A6135 Sheffield Road in Hoyland - before he strangely disappeared.
The remains were found at a property on Broadcarr Road in Hoyland on July 14.
Scenes have been put in place on Dike Hill, Sheffield Road and Hoyland Common.
South Yorkshire Police said there would be an ongoing presence at the property for the next two weeks or so.
They also said they would be keeping "an open mind around the circumstances of the discovery".
Cops added that the formal identification of the corpse was yet to take place.
But Dyson's family have been informed of the latest development, they confirmed.

Schoolboy, 13, found dead in playground had ‘hoped someone would come looking for him'
SCHOOL TRAGEDY Schoolboy, 13, found dead in playground had 'hoped someone would come looking for him' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCHOOLBOY was found dead in a school playground after running away from home, an inquest heard. Connor Lee Mark, 13, was discovered in the grounds of Melin Primary School in Mile End Row, South Wales, on January 29. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The teenager had been confronted about a missing bottle of vodka and an aerosol by his mum and stepdad the night before and he started "kicking off", then stormed out of the house without his shoes. He returned a short while later to collect them before threatening to "jump off a bridge", the inquest heard yesterday. Mum Louise Morgan and stepdad Jason Clark told police Connor had made threats like this before but he usually returned and so they didn't take it seriously. However, nonetheless Jason went out to look for him but after walking around the street eventually returned, assistant coroner Paul Bennett said. During the same evening, Louise and Jason's friends David Morrow and Amy Winslade were visiting their home and were leaving as Louise called the police to report her son missing. Moments later the couple heard Amy shriek "Connor, Connor!" David had seen the teen's body in the playground of the nearby primary school. Former lifeguard Jason attempted to give his stepson mouth to mouth resuscitation in the six minutes before paramedics arrived. However, Connor was declared dead at 3.43am on January 29, DC Danaher told the hearing.
