A six-year journey will soon come to a peaceful conclusion in the Middlesex County Christ Church Parish cemetery.

Back in July 2020 the Southside Sentinel reported that human remains were found in the backyard of Gari Lister and Matt Gobush at their home on Watling Street in Urbanna. They were in the process of having an in-ground swimming pool installed when workers dug up human bones.
