The North Regional Major Crimes Task Force, along with Northbrook police, have been sifting through dirt at the scene throughout the day Tuesday. A Northbrook spokesperson confirmed that investigators are investigating Seymour’s disappearance.
“Two weeks ago, they brought dogs into the backyard to sniff around,” neighbor Lindsey Reid said. “They asked the gentleman who lived there to move the shed, because there were easement issues.”
Seymour was 35 when she disappeared in 1982. Since then there have been starts and stops to the investigation, but the length of time since her disappearance has stunned neighbors who live nearby.
“I was kind of surprised. It was like ‘oh, I’ve been passing that house!’’ Emily Erickson said.
