Mason County Remains Identified

{West Virginia}...Tuesday, a team from the Smithsonian Institution identified the remains found Sunday night by a hiker on Duncan Creek Road in the Gallipolis Ferry area of Mason County as Ashley Crawford and Tonda Nelson. They had both been missing for nearly six weeks. Jeff Crawford was also reported missing at the time and has not been seen since. Police say, although he is not accused of any crime, Jeff Crawford is a person of interest they hope can supply information about the deaths. State Police say the remains were found on a piece of property owned by a family member of Matthew Woods. Woods was arrested Friday and charged with the murder of Rene Gonzalez.
