SOUTH WEBSTER — Several pieces of evidence, including a bullet and possible human remains, have been recovered from a well in South Webster as multiple law enforcement agencies try to locate the bodies of missing people.Agents with the Southern Ohio Organized and Major Crimes Task Force responded in early April on information that they received on the possible location of three persons that had been reported missing from multiple counties and responded to a location in the Pine Creek Road area of South Webster. The team worked throughout the day on April 2, excavating a well located in that area.

Operations were put on hold later in the day, due to severe weather. The excavation restarted on April 14. Items of interest have been recovered, including a bullet, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation will be testing these items for human remains.
