Tuesday brought a heartbreaking announcement in the search for a missing Clermont County man.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation believes a body found off of State Route 222 on Monday is that of Robert "Bobby" Farrell Jr., 23, from New Richmond.
Along with new details released by officials, there are still many lingering questions.
The search for Farrell started in New Richmond and has expanded into the county.
Even as family members said his best friend has been arrested, the questions of "How?", "Who?" and "Why?" are still unanswered.
Exclusive WLWT video showed a scene in the 2300 block of State Route 222 in Clermont County on Monday night just before 11 p.m.
The road was blocked off by tape.
Clermont County sheriff's deputies and the Clermont County coroner were in sight as evidence and bags were loaded into a truck.
Investigators have not elaborated on everything they found on Monday night.
But as of Tuesday, Ohio BCI officials said they believe they found the remains of Farrell off the roadway, describing him as the victim of a homicide.
His family has been devastated since he disappeared from New Richmond on July 6.
"He went out with his friend and that's all we really know. He went out with his friend and never came home," Farrell's aunt, Sandy Coorey, said.
Family members said Farrell's best friend, Keyanta Gardner, spent days helping them search for the young dad.
On Monday, we uncovered Gardner was arrested in connection to Farrell's disappearance.
Investigators said he admitted to making false and misleading statements to BCI agents.
The tragedy just keeps getting worse for Farrell's family.
"It just hard when you watch someone grow up as a baby, and just, and you don't know what's happening," Coorey said.
Neighbors in New Richmond and along State Route 222 told WLWT that police have asked for surveillance video from July 6.
Clermont County dispatchers said no one called 911 to report the body, so it's unclear how it was found or when it was put there.
Even still, there is a community demanding justice for Farrell.
The Ohio BCI said though Gardner is already charged with tampering with evidence, additional charges are expected.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Ohio BCI at 1-855-224-6446.
