Currently we have 30 people working on the scene collecting evidence. As of 2:30 p.m. investigators
located 65 pieces of bone. We expect to catalog another 20-30 pieces by the end of the day. One tooth
believed to be human was found. The tooth did have some dental work; however we are not ready to
disclose any other details about the tooth. Currently our collective total of evidence, primarily bone
fragments stands at 185.
Today we had deputies from our office along with deputies from the Henry County Sheriff’s Office,
Harrisonville, Raymore, Belton Police Department, Kansas City Police Departments Homicide Unit,
Missouri State Highway Patrol.
On Thursday we will 24 Cadets from Missouri Western Police Academy in St. Joseph.
We set a second grid today that is approximately 975 squares. This brings to total amount of grid
squares to 2024.
It’s expected that we will finish the first grid and we foresee starting a search of the front yard
on Thursday.
Detectives are following up on leads, however I don’t have an exact number of calls in. Remember
that we are basically trying to track down people, places, and things that Mr. Shaver has done for
the last 33 years. We are trying to figure out the life history of a 33 year old man.
I also have some pool photos from the scene. These were taken by our office and in an attempt to
help you better visualize what we are working on.
