Human remains found during search for Linda Stoltzfoos, Amish teen missing since June [update]

Human remains were discovered near the former employer of the man charged in the kidnapping and death of Linda Stoltzfoos, the Amish teen who has been missing since June 21 when she didn't return to her Upper Leacock Township home after church.

The remains were discovered near Gap, in the county's eastern end, by a team consisting of the FBI, East Lampeter Township police and Pennsylvania State Police, the Lancaster County District Attorney's office said in a news release. ..Stoltzfoos’ family was notified of the body’s discovery, the district attorney’s office said. Diamantoni said the body was found on wooded property at 160 Rte. 41 — Gap Newport Pike. That's the address of Dutchland Inc., where Justo Smoker — the man charged in the case — had worked and was arrested on July 10.

Investigators zeroed in on Smoker after obtaining surveillance video from a home on Beechdale Road. It showed his car at an intersecting farm lane near Stumptown Road, which is the road Stoltzfoos' church is on.

... Authorities have also matched DNA samples collected by swabbing Smoker's cheeks to DNA samples found on Stoltzfoos' blue bra and white stockings. Pennsylvania State Police found the items July 10 while searching a wooded area near a Ronks business where Smoker had also been seen.
