FBI Continues To Search For Human Remains In Methuen

METHUEN, MA — An FBI evidence response team continues to use excavators to move a large amount of dirt and search for what sources say is human remains in Methuen, Massachusetts, Thursday.

The area being searched is behind a Milk Street location very close to the Loop Mall.

Large excavators which were originally being used were parked on the side of the search area and a smaller sized excavator was brought to the area. FBI evidence technicians were seen putting markers around a smaller area, and small amounts of earth were moved and examined by the technicians. The FBI evidence truck was parked at the scene and several people entered and exited the unit.

A area estimated to be 4 acres is surrounded by crime scene tape on Milk Street and being a U-Haul facility directly across from the mall.

Multiple sources have said that the search is related to human remains for a man missing out of Manchester. Sources say the man was reported missing in March or April this year.
