Human remains found at prime suspect’s home

THE FBI uncovered human remains on Saturday in an outbuilding behind the house of Ward Weaver, the self-described No. 1 suspect in the case of two missing girls who lived across the street, officials said.

The remains of one person were found hidden in a shed, Charlie Mathews, special agent at the FBI’s Portland office, said. Teams continued to look under a concrete slab directly behind the house for more remains, Agent Mathews said.

Police Chief Gordon Huiras said the body had been turned over to the medical examiner and had not been identified.
