Search underway behind Jefferson Twp. house

There is a large group of people, along with Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies and Equusearch Midwest behind a house in Jefferson Twp. Wednesday afternoon.

The Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center confirmed that crews were on the scene in the 100 block of West End Avenue gathering evidence, but it is unclear what the evidence is connected to.
