And as we look at this location here, this area, this grassy area here is the area that they concentrated on with the search dog and derek butler tells me tonight that police told him while they did not recover anything there tonight, they did get enough of a hit from a dog to believe that that is where his daughter his sisters body was buried. But he says hes very disappointed to know they will not try to recover her remains. The search team got started just after 10 00 this morning. Derek butler was already here, hoping after more than eight years he would be one step closer to bringing his sister home. Investigators targeted two locations along this stretch of i95 in stafford.

Reporter back to another live look from chopper4, this is mile marker 147 where believe they believe this is where the remains of his sister are buried. Now, again, mr. Butler told me by phone that police told him that while they believe that this is where she is located, because of two positive hits from those dogs today, they will not try to recover her remains because they said the landscape has changed so much in the eight years and when they made the improvements to bring in the express lanes, they brought inasmuch as 10 feet of additional soil to be buried to be put on top of that land. That is the very latest here along i 935 95. Erika, back to you. This is such a difficult story. People watching at home feel for derek right now. Mark, we appreciate your reporting. Thank you.
