Liberty County Sheriff’s Department deputies and other authorities are searching the crime scene in Hardin, responding to a tip on the presence of dismembered bodies near the intersection of CR 2048 at CR 2049.
Acting on a macabre tip in regard to a possible mass grave or dismembered bodies, perhaps belonging to children, the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, June 7, closed down CR 2048 at CR 2049 in Hardin.
The department received the tip on Tuesday afternoon, which immediately led deputies to a home on CR 2048, said department Public Information Officer Capt. Rex Evans.
A 16-year-old girl, who was a neighbor to the house on CR 2048, said an occupant of the house is her friend and that she apparently moved out of the home a week ago. The girl’s friend had lived at the home with her fiance and part of the time with her parents who were long-haul truck drivers.
Authorities are seeking a search warrant in order to search the home, where some of the individuals involved have been “uncooperative” so far, Evans said.
Meanwhile, a cadaver dog has been deployed to search the property.
