It was extremely interesting, like it was so bizarre, you know, learning more about Dr. Boyle and what he was like.

Once I was assigned the case, Dave Messmore was my go-to guy. He and I were constantly talking, and I know that he took this case really to heart because of the children, especially Collier.

We waited until they completed their execution of the search warrant in Mansfield. And when that turned up negative, that's when we went and applied for a search warrant to go and search the Wolf Road address.

We actually got to the Wolf Road address around, oh, about 20 after five or so, and no one answered the door. I kicked the door in.

And we rolled up the carpeting.

The basement was not finished other than the fact that the floor had been painted. And in one section was green indoor-outdoor carpeting that had been glued down. And on top of the indoor-outdoor carpeting, there was shelving units.

And we got down on our hands and knees. We're feeling along the shelving, and there was a little bit of an indentation under the shelving, which was odd because the rest of the basement was pristine. At that point in time, we decided that we're going to have to take the shelving unit down.

And that area was six foot eight inches in one direction and two feet six inches in another. So it actually almost looked like a grave site, the size of a grave site. At that point, we took the sledgehammer and I hit like in the center of the uncured concrete. I broke it up a little bit and then got down and started digging it out.

And I reached in and grabbed the tarp and started pulling it up a little bit. And I got a distinct odor from the hole. And it was that of a dead body. Once you smell a dead body, you never forget that smell. So, whoo!

The tarp was wrapped with a rope, cut the rope so that we could open up the tarp.

And because it had been wrapped and it had been in a cool, moist grave, there wasn't any really decay. We found that she had a white plastic bag over her head and that was tied around her neck. The only thing that she was wearing were panties. She was naked. And that's all she had was just a pair of panties on and then the jewelry.

He went and actually cut the plastic bag to reveal the face.

He tentatively identified the body that we had just unearthed as Noreen Boyle.
