Authorities searching Jefferson County home for remains of woman
TORONTO — Numerous law enforcement agencies were at a house on county Road 42 today looking for the remains of a woman reported missing in February.
Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said it is likely the remains belong to a person who was released from the county jail on Jan. 26 and reported missing a couple weeks later by a family member.
“We are here gathering evidence,” Abdalla said.
Joining the sheriff’s department at the home were the FBI, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Toronto Police and the Jefferson County Drug Task Force.
Abdalla said more information may be released on Wednesday.
