A follow-up on a local story we brought you last week… From the Cleveland City Police Department. 

On Sunday, December 4, 2022, the Bradley County 911 Center was notified of possible human remains found in a wooded area off APD 40, close to Interstate 75.

The Cleveland Police Department responded and conducted a search of two areas at the disclosed location. Investigators discovered the remains of a human. The Cleveland Police Department continued processing both locations throughout Sunday night, December 4, 2022, and early Monday morning, December 5, 2022.

After working to confirm the identity of the victim, investigators were able to positively identify the remains as Laura Anderson, age 37, a Kentucky resident. Anderson was reported missing in February 2018, from Williamsburg, KY.  The suspect, James Bauer, an acquaintance of Anderson’s, was charged in connection with her death. The Cleveland Police Department is currently working with the Williamsburg Police Department to bring closure to the case.
