Human remains have been found in a Union Star residence and two occupants have been taken into custody on weapons charges as a homicide investigation in DeKalb County continues.
DeKalb County Sheriff Kasey Keesaman says in a news release that his office received a tip from an outside agency about a possible homicide at 162 South 7th Street in Union Star.
Keesaman is not providing details about the investigation other than to say two residents of a house, 59-year-old Kevin McGinnis and 26-year-old Kori McGinnis, have been taken into custody on weapons possession charges.
His department called in help from several neighboring law enforcement agencies, including the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the St. Joseph Police Department, the Cameron Police Department, the Andrew County Sheriff’s Office, and the Country Club Village Police Department. Officers executed several search warrants, according to Keesaman.
Keesaman reports the human remains were found Wednesday while officers executed a search warrant. Authorities are working to identify the remains.
The investigation continues.
