"Upon further investigation at the scene, investigators determined there was evidence of a crime and obtained a search warrant for the residence," Barrow County deputies said in a news release. While searching the house, investigators noticed an area in the crawl space of the house where the dirt had been disturbed.

"The search of the residence revealed a deceased body buried in the crawlspace of the residence and it was confirmed that the deceased was Kim Mason," the statement said.
