Bodies Found In Hilltop Home May Be Linked To Missing Persons Case

Columbus Division of Police

Federal prosecutors Friday provided an update on Thursday's discovery of two bodies buried and covered in concrete in the basement of a Hilltop home.

Prosecutors say the partially dismembered bodies were found while authorities executed a search warrant at a home in the 2400 block of Sullivant Avenue. Prosecutors say the bodies may be connected to a pair of missing persons. 49-year-old Henry Clay Watson and 46-year-old Tera Lynn Pennington were reported missing in August of 2018. The bodies have not been formally identified, but the Watson and Pennington families have been notified of their discovery. Autopsies are planned. Authorities ask anyone with information in the case to call 1-866-DHS-2423.
