PARSONS, W.Va. (AP) — State Police say tests will be conducted in an attempt to identify remains found near the northern West Virginia home of a woman who disappeared in 2002.
Sgt. J.A. Wise told The Parsons Advocate that bones and some clothing items were found Wednesday in an outbuilding behind the home of Bonnie Woods-Cale about six miles north of St. George near the Tucker-Preston county line.
The 35-year-old Woods-Cale is listed on a State Police Web site for missing adults. The Web site says she last was seen leaving her home on March 24, 2002, and had indicated she was headed to Cleveland to obtain a birth certificate for her daughter.
Her vehicle was found in Webster County.
A message left with a State Police spokesman wasn’t immediately returned Wednesday night.
The property had been searched before, but a review during the past six months prompted about 20 troopers and support personnel to head to the site Wednesday, Wise said. State Police brought in a backhoe, ATVs, a generator, GPS units and a command center trailer to the property.
“We reviewed the entire case file and listened to all of the interviews again,” Wise said. “We have enough to do a more extensive search of this property.”
