Police investigating the disappearance of Taylor Behl called to scene of dead body
Police investigating the disappearance of a 17 year old V-C-U student are examing remains found in Mathews County.
Published reports say the remains have not been identified, but the task force working on the Taylor Behl case is on the scene.
Behl was last seen September fifth. The remains were discovered in a grave behind a barn on an isolated piece of private property in the sparsely populated county, located about 50 miles east of Richmond.
Wouldn't it be a real twist if the remains are those of Natalee Holloway?
Who is Taylor Behl and where is she/he from?
Is "OPolice" the Irish police department?
I added a Taylor Behl keyword. Many posts on her before. No prob.
DIGGS, Va. -- Richmond Police Chief Rodney Monroe confirmed Wednesday that a body was found in rural Mathews County, but he would not say whether it is missing Virginia Commonwealth University student Taylor Behl.
Numerous law enforcement officials arrived Wednesday afternoon at the scene in Diggs, including the task force investigating Behl's disappearance. Police gathered in a field that is just off of a farm road, News4's Pat Collins reported.
"At this time, we do not, I repeat, we do not know who the remains belong to," Monroe said at a news conference outside the Mathews County sheriff's office.
Monroe said investigators from VCU discovered the location of the body, FBI investigators were collecting evidence from a large crime scene and state police would investigate the discovery of the remains.
The remains were discovered in a shallow grave in a heavily wooded area on private property in the county, about 75 miles east of Richmond.
According to police, their investigation included several searches, and in one of those searches, some pictures were seized, including a picture of the general area where the human remains were found. Police said one of the witnesses they spoke to recognized the area in the photograph.

A 38-year-old amateur photographer who was one of the last people to see Behl was questioned by police in her disappearance. Ben Fawley was arraigned last week on 16 counts of possession of child pornography and ordered held without bond.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Mike Jagels said authorities have found at least 30 videos on Fawley's computers depicting children as young as 1 in sexual acts. Neither Behl nor Fawley appear in any of the videos, Jagels said, and Fawley has not been charged in Behl's case.
According to Fawley's attorney, the photographer had a romantic relationship with the teen, and Jagels said the two had sex on several occasions.
Would you please remove the O in the title, it was a mistake.
I didn't see any reference to who owns the "private property" .. did I miss it?
Poor little girl. As the mother of a seventeen-year-old daughter myself, I can only imagine the hell her mother is enduring. Please join me in praying for her strength and her mental health at this horrible time.
