After 37 years, the remains of a man related to a cold-case may have been discovered.
Saxonburg Police Chief Gregory Adams was shot and killed in 1980 in what started as a traffic stop. Fugitive Donald Webb is still wanted in the case. Adams died on the way to the hospital.
“What appears to be human remains have been discovered,” said District Attorney Thomas Quinn, CBS News reported. “We‘ll see if they’ll be identified and that process will take place over the next several days.”
Police spent the day digging in the backyard of Webb’s ex-wife’s home in Massachusetts, where they found what is believed to be human remains.
The remains might belong to Webb, officials told CBS.
“It’s the biggest question mark in our town’s history, so we’re hopeful we'll see what happens in the next short time here,” Saxonburg Police Chief Joe Beachen said.
