ZANESVILLE, Ohio- A private investigator and a team of volunteers are working tirelessly to finally close a cold case.

Private investigator Lilly Paisley has been tracking leads regarding the disappearance of Barbara Frame that happened over 30 years ago. Lilly and her team of volunteers, which includes two anthropologists are hoping to hit pay dirt. Paisley received a lead stating Frame’s remains are in a well located on Langan Line, and with approval of the homeowner. Paisley and her team are searching the well.

“When we started into the well, we’ve found 20 ton of debris,” said Paisley. “That had to be taken out by hand bucket by bucket. It was very time consuming. The more debris we got, the more time it was going to take to sift through and look for any remains.”

Paisley said locating the well was no easy feat.

“It was covered up. It was underground. It took a lot of work. The natural eye would not be able to see this well. It was gone. I feel that we are in the right spot. We’ve not yet arrive but I anticipate a good outcome. Very optimistic that we will not have to have anymore Barbara Frame awareness events.” said Paisley.

“It just doesn’t feel real,” said Frame’s daughter Kathy Hubert. “It’s been so long. It doesn’t feel real that it could be almost over.”

Paisley said none of this would be possible without the help of her volunteers. She also says this location seems to be very promising. If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Barbara Frame contact (740) 252-6958.
