Human remains unearthed at Clay County home
GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. -- Investigators unearthed human remains Wednesday morning after receiving a tip that someone was buried behind a Green Cove Springs home, authorities said.
The Clay County Sheriff's Office started investigating after an outside agency contacted deputies with information that a former resident, identified as Janell Adams, had been buried in a backyard on Creekfront Drive, investigators said.
Investigators have not yet confirmed whether the remains belong to Adams, a Sheriff's Office spokesperson said. They're being examined by the Medical Examiner's office.
Adams' son, Brian Adams, remains in police custody in Columbus County, North Carolina on unrelated charges, deputies said. He's being held on $150,000 bond for being a fugitive from another state. His involvement in the case is not yet clear.
