UPDATE WEDNESDAY:
DUNLOW, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- West Virginia State Police believe they've recovered the bodies of a missing couple from southeast Ohio.
According to a news release, troopers found the bodies near Willard and Patty Frye's car. It was parked in a wooded area near Dunlow, West Virginia, and was found Tuesday morning.
Emergency crews started searching the area around the car Wednesday morning.
State Police say that although the bodies are believed to be the Fryes, they have not been positively identified.
The news release states that there are no obvious signs of foul play, but troopers are continuing to investigate the incident.
UPDATE TUESDAY:
WAYNE COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – A startling discovery Tuesday means the search will intensify again for an elderly couple from southern Ohio. The couple has been missing for nearly two months.
A friend of Patty and Willard Frye found their car Tuesday morning. It was abandoned over a hillside in Wayne County, West Virginia.
The Fryes are from Crown City in Gallia County.
Patty Frye suffers from dementia and Willard Frye has early stage Alzheimer's. They were last seen March 14 at a gas station in Wayne County.
Wednesday morning, WV State Police said the car was found in a heavily wooded area that was on family property in the Dunlow area.
They said there was no visible damage to the car and the car was locked. There was also no sign of blood or a struggle.
State Police have towed the car to a secure location for processing.
State Police will use search dogs this morning in the Dunlow area where the car was found.
The couple's caretaker says Mrs. Frye became delusional and violent, took control of the car and drove off.
