PORTSMOUTH, Ohio Ƶ Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman has confirmed there is a multi-agency operation happening near South Webster, Ohio Ƶ and theyƵre looking for human remains.
He said the sheriffƵs office, Bureau of Criminal Investigation and other agencies are acting on a tip about cases from decades ago.
The scene is on Pine Creek Road, which is currently closed as the agencies continue the search and recovery operation.
The search began as part of a tip to the organized and major crime task force. The tip was connected to people who have been missing for decades. The remains are believed to be connected to three criminal cases.
