FBI to Continue Oregon Girls Search
By ANDREW KRAMER
Associated Press Writer
OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) - FBI agents searching for two missing girls found human remains in a shed and began digging beneath a concrete slab behind the house of Ward Weaver, a neighbor who has described himself as a suspect in the girls' disappearance.
Authorities would not say if the body found Saturday was that of either Ashley Pond or Miranda Gaddis, two 13-year-olds who lived in a nearby apartment complex.
The remains were handed over to a medical examiner, and investigators planned to continue searching the property Sunday. Weaver's attorney, Timothy Lyons, told The Oregonian that his client provided written authorization for the search because he wanted to ``bring closure to the families.''
Weaver, who has not been charged in the disappearances and has denied any involvement, was arrested Aug. 13 on unrelated rape charges involving his 19-year-old son's girlfriend. He is being held on $1 million bail. Following the alleged rape, the upset son told 9-1-1 dispatchers that his father killed both Ashley and Miranda.
Weaver knew Ashley, who was a friend of his daughter. She frequently stayed overnight at the Weaver house, went on a trip to California last year with Weaver and his daughter, and even lived at the house for several months last year while her own father was in jail on charges of abusing her.
Ashley disappeared Jan. 9. She was last seen eating breakfast with her younger sister and was to walk to a bus stop near Weaver's home in a low-income development tucked into a wooded valley south of Portland. Miranda's mother, Michelle Duffey, said she last saw her daughter on March 8.
After the second disappearance, investigators interviewed scores of residents at the complex, went on national television with appeals for information and passed out fliers with pictures of the missing girls.
The FBI received thousands of tips, but were unable to single out a suspect. Then came the phone call from Weaver's son.
When residents found out, they urged authorities to dismantle a concrete slab that Weaver had poured shortly after Miranda's disappearance, and Ashley's former stepmother taped a sign reading ``Dig Me Up'' on the slab.
Weaver told reporters several months ago that the FBI considered him the prime suspect. Ashley had accused Weaver of molesting her the previous summer, but he denied the allegations and was never charged.
Weaver, a 39-year-old single father whose own father is on death row in California, told The Associated Press in an interview last month that he treated Ashley as a daughter when she came to visit. He said he noticed Ashley often wore halter tops and mini skirts, and that he often asked her to change into something more appropriate while at his house.
``My sister, the first time she saw Ashley, she told me I got to watch myself,'' Weaver said at the time. ``I said 'shut up, she's 12.'''
Weaver has said he often gave Ashley a ride to Gardner Middle School in his 1977 Ford Thunderbird. Weaver was evicted from the single-story house after his arrest on the rape charge, and the FBI began searching the property Saturday morning.
Activity in the fenced-off yard picked up around 3 p.m. Saturday, as crime reconstruction teams, digging equipment and FBI agents poured into the fenced-off area. A medical examiner's vehicle pulled up about two hours later and backed into a shed near the house.
Around that time, the girls' grandfathers - Don Martin and Wesley Duffey - abruptly left the search scene, saying they had to be with their daughters. ``Wes got a call from the FBI that said, 'Get to your family now,' `` said Cassie Winter, a friend of the families.
Charlie Mathews, special agent in charge of the FBI's Portland office, later announced that the remains of one person had been found. Neighbors reacted with horror to the discovery of human remains on the property and said the FBI should have acted sooner.
``I'm kind of surprised it took this long to really go in and search this place,'' said Aaron Hixon, a 28-year-old neighbor. ``The girls had been in and out of his house. He certainly had the opportunity to do whatever he wanted.''

They're saying he even buried that victim on his own property, too. Didn't learn much from his father's mistakes, did he?
