More than 50 miles north of the suburb, the wooded dirt maintenance road that leads to the 140-acre Pagnac property was blocked Tuesday by yellow police tape as more than a dozen law enforcement vehicles, including a Maple Grove dump truck, were parked nearby. Terlinden declined to say why authorities are searching the property, what theyre looking for or whether theyve found anything on the land, about 9 miles outside of Cambridge...
In 1987, the family bought the property, in the 37000 block of Verdin Street NW., in Maple Ridge Township. Pagnac said they used to bring Amy and her younger sister, Susan Jr., to hunt mushrooms or play on a tire swing as she and Midden farmed vegetables or harvested trees. Two of the family dogs are buried there, she said.
The property has a barn and an old trailer but no house; the couple plan eventually to build one and retire there.
