Chief Wayne Bird told WKYT that after meeting with Bauer, he showed them where Anderson's body was buried.

Police found the body in a shallow grave in the side of a creek bed on Dal Rd. It leads up to a cemetery, police said.

It's about four miles away from where Chief Bird says officers had previously searched.

The coroner has to remove the remains from the grave and send them to the state medical examiner's office for positive identification, police said. Chief Bird says all signs point to the body being Anderson's.

Despite no body, trial date set for man accused in killing of missing woman – The News Journal

Even though police still have not recovered the body or any remains of the victim, a fall trial date has been set for a Williamsburg man, who is accused of taking part in the killing of a missing local woman.

Joseph Bauer is charged with complicity to commit murder in the death of Laura Anderson.

Judge Paul Winchester scheduled an Oct. 22 trial date Thursday afternoon for Joseph Bauer, 34, who is charged with criminal complicity to commit murder, criminal complicity to commit tampering with physical evidence, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and first-degree robbery in connection with the Feb. 11, 2018, disappearance and believed killing of Laura Anderson.

According to his indictment, Bauer worked in conjunction with others to kill Anderson, hide her body and used physical force while in the course of robbing Anderson.

......

On Aug. 27, 2018, authorities caught a break in the case when Bauer contacted Williamsburg police confessing to his involvement in Anderson’s death, Bird said.

At the time, he wasn’t on police radar involving the disappearance, Bird said.

So far, police have been able to corroborate about 90 percent of Bauer’s information, except where the suspects disposed of Anderson’s body, Bird said.

Bauer initially told police that Anderson’s body was dumped in the Clear Fork River at the Savoy Bridge, which prompted an extensive water and ground search of the area that turned up a bone, which later was determined not to be human.

On Sept. 6, 2018, Bauer gave Williamsburg police new information saying that Anderson’s body was disposed off of Dal Road. A search of the area turned up bones, which officials determined the next morning weren’t human.

"A body found this past weekend in Tennessee was that of a woman who went missing out of Williamsburg nearly five years ago.

Chattanooga CBS affiliate WDEF reported a body found in a wooded area near Cleveland, Tennessee Sunday evening was identified as Laura Anderson.

The body was found in Bradley County, Tennessee just off of the APD-40 roadway.

Officials said a group of kids stumbled across her remains.

“I think they had actually stumbled across a skull, I think maybe passed it around, became scared, and discarded it into an adjacent pond,” Whitley County Commonwealth’s Attorney Ronnie Bowling said.

Tennessee authorities drained the pond and found other remains. They were later identified as Laura Anderson.

Anderson was reported missing in February 2018. She reportedly got out of her mother’s car and ran away. She was last seen near the Pilot gas station on KY-92 in Whitley County.

In September 2018, Joseph Bauer was charged and pled not guilty in Anderson’s murder. However, in 2019, he confessed that he helped hide her body."
