Authorities search Grain Valley property where human remains found

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. — Authorities are once again searching a property in Grain Valley where human remains were found last week.

Independence police have confirmed that the investigation is still active and they are currently conducting a search at Michael Hendricks’ home in Grain Valley.

The remains of 32-year-old Kensie Aubry were found buried at the property. Hendricks, 40, and his girlfriend Maggie Ybarra, 20, are charged in a child sex abuse case.

They have not been charged with anything involving Aubry’s death.

The FBI and the Independence Police Department search the property on July 14 in regards to a missing persons case.

“A lot of policemen,” Curi Tobar said. “So, it’s a little scary, but I don’t really know what’s going on.”

“We saw a lot of policemen. They were digging at the house,” Curi Tobar said. “So, it’s a little scary for everybody, but we really don’t know what’s going on there.”
