Evidence points in Hohman's direction. Although investigators don't yet know whether the bones are from a male or female, a sheriff's report says a black bra was found with the remains. Also, Hohman lived in a mobile home at 750 Jacobs Road, about 75 yards from the grisly discovery.

According to a sheriff's report, three men, Keith Locklear, Kenneth Hammonds and Gary Ransom, called the Sheriff's Office at 11:22 p.m. Tuesday to say they had found what appeared to be human bones in some brush and beside a fallen tree. Deputy Steven Lewis' report said the tree “appeared to have been cut down a few years back.”
Jacobs Road, which is off Cabinet Shop Road near U.S. 74 West, is about 20 yards from where the remains were fond.
All three men live at 750 Jacobs Road, where Hohman, a student at Purnell Swett High, lived before she disappeared. Hohman's mother, Samantha Locklear, also lives at the address. Keith Locklear is Samantha Locklear's brother. Ransom is Samantha's boyfriend.

A dog pen is about 10 feet from where the body was found, and neighbors said there are typically dozens of animals in the pen. On Wednesday, the pen was empty. A large wooden sign near the driveway reads “Dogs And Puppies For Sale.”
Sheriff's Lt. Kathy Torre said the men said they were checking their dogs when they stumbled across the bones.
