FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio — On Wednesday, teams searching around Hueston Woods State Park located human remains that could be linked to a man missing since 2020.
According to the Fairfield Township Police Department, Michael McKenney has been missing since 2020.
His car and personal items, including a cellphone, were found at Hueston Woods.
In December that year, investigators conducted a search of a lake in Fairfield Township, but it turned up empty.
Part of the challenge in finding McKenney has been that some of the people believed to be involved in his disappearance have died, Brandon McCroskey, Fairfield Twp. police Sgt. told The Journal-News in December 2020.
A possible male involved died from an overdose, and a woman directly involved died from medical issues, McCroskey said.
“I can’t even say if there was foul play because at this point there’s not enough (evidence) to say that,” he said.
According to a press release from the Fairfield Twp. Police Department, the Preble County Coroner's Office took possession of the remains located on Wednesday and the investigation is ongoing.
Officials have not yet said whether those remains belong to McKenney, or how they were able to discover them.
