I want to revive this thread to give you guys some insight into the house being discussed. I grew up from birth to the age of around 6 in the house where the two girls were allegedly buried. My father let the cadaver dogs into the house and around the property, he even dug around outside with a shovel when some family members of the victims came by.
You can imagine this basement was a room the size of the entire house when Earl built it. The basement was entered through a set of stone steps on the outside of the house by the time I came around, but this wasn't always the case. In the middle of the basement a cement wall was constructed cutting off a majority of this basement, which is presumably back-filled. Some distance behind this wall, in a section that used to be basement, is a small room accessible only by a hidden hatch in the master bedroom closet. Cadaver dogs searched all of these areas but the soil beneath couldn't be searched without demolishing the house first. This wasn't just a cinder block wall, we're talking cast concrete. When I asked about this wall I was told basically there wasn't a reason for your plumbing to be accessible through your master bedroom as opposed to the existing basement laundry room.These modifications were done in the same time frame of these girls going missing. The room literally had two long coffin sized slabs on either side and the floor was closer to the ceiling in this room.
The property is deep in the woods and there was a large fire pit when we got there.
