LEBANON, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has confirmed human remains were found at a home where authorities said they were searching for a missing person last week.
The multi-agency search was launched Sept. 12 after Metro Nashville Cold Case Homicide detectives, along with Murfreesboro police, reportedly received a tip in the missing persons case that led them to the home off Burnt House Road in Lebanon.
