FRANKLIN, W.Va. — A grim discovery in the last week of 2021 by a group of bear hunters appeared to have solved a missing persons case dating back to March. The hunters found human remains in a remote part of the Monongahela National Forest in Pendleton County and led State Police to the site this week.
“Personal items located there along with the skeletal remains, based on my previous investigation, led me to believe these are possibly the remains of Cassie Renee Sheetz who was reported missing March 12th and last seen March 11th,” said Sgt. Andrew Teter of the West Virginia State Police.
