St. Joseph MO investigators have confirmed finding multiple bodies in a midtown residential basement.
Police were notified Wednesday night by a realtor that was shown the house by the property owner in an attempt to sell.
As the realtor was led to the basement she recalls a pungent odor and witnessed an arm visible under shelving. Investigators say that she originally thought it was a mannequin considering the owner was an artist but had an awkward feeling, that’s when she notified police.
So far, eight bodies have been recovered as the search continues.
Local law enforcement is working in conjunction with the FBI to locate the property owner who as of now is on the run and considered armed and dangerous.
