GOOSE CREEK, S.C.–Three people are in custody in connection with the burned human remains found at a home in a backyard barrel at 469 Madeline Drive in Goose Creek a few days ago.
On Monday at approximately 7:30 p.m., GCPD officers say they were dispatched to the location to check on the welfare of a resident. Officers were advised by the resident’s daughter that she had not heard from him in several days and that the resident was at-risk due to health reasons.
Officers say they entered the home to verify the well-being of the resident; however, during the inspection of the residence and premises, an officer discovered burned human remains in a barrel in the backyard.
GCPD investigators say they recently traveled to St. Peters, Missouri to recover the vehicle that belongs to the homeowner of 469 Madeline Dr. The vehicle was located by St. Peters Police Department officers at a local post office.
Three people associated with the vehicle were arrested by St. Peters Police on local charges and are in their custody pending local proceedings, according to Goose Creek Police Major John Grainger. Those individuals were interviewed by GCPD investigators in reference to the burned victim.
GCPD Investigators say they have taken various items of evidence to SLED headquarters to be processed on a “priority” track.
GCPD has issued an arrest warrant on the charge of grand larceny against one of the subjects in St. Peters Police Department custody. Investigators will coordinate service of this charge and request extradition via the Berkeley County Solicitor’s Office.
“We expect to release the identity of this subject once charges are served,” stated Grainger.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at (843) 554-1111 or to contact GCPD at (843) 572-4300.
