In early August, human remains were found in the same area where an Iraq war veteran disappeared 3 years ago.
The remains, found buried behind a home in Kennesaw, Georgia were identified on Friday as belonging to Chase Massner, according to the Cobb County Medical Examiner’s office. They were identified by looking at dental records from the Department of Defense, CBS46 reported.
The war veteran’s mother, Stephanie Cadena, said the last three years have been a hard battle to finally reach a point of closure for her and her son.
“It’s been an agonizing three-plus years to fight for Chase, he was recovered on Aug. 1—24 days ago and positively identified today! Now, we can begin to plan a proper funeral for Chase our son, husband and father! The next step is to prosecute the man being charged in this case!” Cadena told 11Alive.
