Police find human remains in a well in Lebanon


By The Associated Press

LEBANON, Maine — Investigators seeking evidence in the disappearance of a young woman three years ago have found human remains in a well near a home in Lebanon.

The remains were discovered Tuesday following an 18-month coordinated investigation by Maine State Police and Sanford police into the disappearance of Frances Moulton of Lebanon, who was 27 when last seen in July 2006. She was reported missing that September.

Stephen McCausland of the state Public Safety Department said the remains were being transported to the state medical examiner’s office for positive identification.

State police divers, a cadaver dog and police detectives took part in the search for evidence at the site off Creamery Hill Road.

Citizens- she could have fallen in, etc. It may have been an empty property. It doesn't have to be suspicious.

Deschain, if the remains belong to a young woman who disappeared, Frances Moulton, it is indeed suspicious.

I hope her family gets some closure for this and law enforcement can get some conclusive evidence from the scene.
