UPDATE: Human remains found on Jackson County property in missing person investigation with FBI
Federal authorities were assisting Independence police and other law enforcement with an investigation on south Buckner Tarnsey Road in eastern Jackson County.
Details of the scope of the investigation have not been released. Authorities were summoned to the 4000 block of South Buckner-Tarsney Road around 9:30 a.m.
“All I have tell you is that we have a presence there in support of local law enforcement,” Bridget Patton, FBI spokeswoman. “We have a presence and we are providing assistance to the locals at this point.”
Authorities maintained a heavy presence on the property Wednesday afternoon as construction equipment was used to dig a large hole on a residential property. Several unmarked squad cars lined the driveway as investigators congregated near a massive pile of dirt.
