McCurtain County deputies are now awaiting results on two autopsies.They made a new discovery Wednesday in Eagletown, in the same wooded area they found human remains two weeks ago. Those remains are believed to belong to Jason Wells. If thats true, the other set could belong to Roberto Barrientos. Both he and Wells encountered foul play last December, and investigators have been looking for them ever since.
Trapsing through a wooded area in Eagletown, Oklahoma, Kathy Turner and her family are saddened by the crime scene tape strung between trees. It marks where she believes her son Jason Wells spent his last moments. On Wednesday, authorities found humain remains in the area.
"Investigators went out to the area about a half a mile east and actually located another body acoss the creek," says McCurtain County Sheriff Johnny Tadlock.
With a wooden cross in hand to represent the life of a loved one, the family makes their way through the area already processed by authorities, looking for any sign of Jasons life that could have been passed over. Jasons aunt, Suzanne Smallwood explains. "Jasons mom and sister needed to come today and put a cross at the site and at Robertos. His wife is having a hard time. We are here to see where he has been laying for three months."
Jasons aunt Suzanne joined the team of searchers that happened upon what is believed to be Roberto Barrientos body days ago. She says Gods grace led authorities to her nephew. "He has worked miracles from directing our pastor and his horse to Robertos remains and timed everything for us."
Sheriff Tadlock says their ready for the next phase of the investigation. "We have got our paperwork ready to go and I anticipate as soon as we get the positive identification match, well be filing charges." One suspect, 31-year-old John Griffin is being held on unrelated charges in Sevier County, Arkansas.
As a family waits for their loved ones to be identified, Smallwood says they have forgiven the one who left their loved one alone. "We have forgiven the man who did it and we hold no hatred in our hearts, he has to be held ac countable, he is dangerous and want him to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Sheriff Tadlock told KTAL Griffin actually drew a map that led authorities to the second body. He expects both bodies to be properly identified by the end of next week
