Cambria County Coroner Jeffrey Lees described the death as “highly suspicious,” particularly given the placement of the bones.
According to WJAC-TV, the excavation took many hours, and investigators stated determining who it was would take time. Following an autopsy on Saturday, the remains were transferred to Mercyhurst University in Erie for forensic analysis.
“This is going to be a lengthy investigation and methodical process in removing these remains,” Cambria County Coroner Jeffrey Lees told the New Castle News.
After Nancy Giles vanished, Brian Giles found another girlfriend, Jilly Todaro, who stayed with him in the same house and is missing since December 2020. According to WJAC, Giles was charged with abusing her just a few days before her disappearance. Officials declined to specify whether the search was related to Todaro’s case.
Giles was convicted last week of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in Nancy Giles’ death after an hour of jury deliberation following a four-day trial.
