He said he was too busy to talk with a reporter when contacted Wednesday about noon.

Later Wednesday, he appeared to have posted on Facebook that a skull and other bones had been found near the “back border of the farm” about a mile from the couple’s house.

“There were a couple of other items which cause us to believe these ‘most likely’ are Lynn’s remains,” was written on a Facebook page entitled “Find Lynn Messer” maintained by Kerry Messer.

“I have been told the remains do in fact have artificial hips (as well as eye glasses) — but it will take several days, weeks, or even up to a couple of months to confirm this is absolutely Lynn. With what I have been told, it would appear almost certainly to be her, but absolute confirmation must be established as we hold our breaths,” said the post.

The post said the area where the remains were found Tuesday had been searched early on after Lynn’s disappearance.
