Eventually, people stopped asking questions.
Life moved on.
Or so it seemed.
The Discovery Beneath the House
Nearly a year later, the Potts family relocated to Wyoming.
New owners moved into their former Nevada home.
At first, everything appeared normal.
Then came a discovery that shocked the community.
Hidden beneath the house was a body.
The remains were eventually identified as Miles Fawcett.
Suddenly, a missing-person mystery became something much darker.
News spread quickly.
Authorities launched an investigation.
And attention immediately turned toward the Potts family.
A Story Authorities Didn’t Believe
When questioned, the Potts offered an explanation.
According to their account, Fawcett had taken his own life following a heated confrontation involving accusations concerning their young daughter.
Josiah admitted he had concealed and dismembered the body afterward.
But investigators remained skeptical.
