He'd travelled from his home in Brindly Park, Ashbourne County Meath to Virginia County Cavan.
His pregnant wife raised the alarm after he failed to return.
As part of a missing persons hunt the last place that Mr Whelan was seen had been narrowed down to an area around Lough Ramor.
At around midday yesterday a body was found there on the shores of the lake.
Detectives still can't confirm if the remains are definitely those of Joseph Whelan.
