And let's bring this thing home for the Lee family.

And then, seven weeks later, as prosecutors were preparing for a second trial, unbelievably, it happened.

Right here in this patch of forgotten woods, about 20 miles from the home of Tim Harrington's parents.

Jay Lee had been gone for about two and a half years when, on a cold February day, the property's owner happened upon what appeared to be remains.

Human remains.

He called 911.

Carroll County Sheriff's investigators Jerry Bankston and Tucker Banks were among the first on the scene.

Some of the remains were found wrapped in a blanket.

It was a gold necklace.

And when Chief McCutcheon got the photo on his phone, he knew.

As you're racing down to get here, what are you thinking?

A lot.

Is it real, you know, excitement that of all the sadness that everyone had been through, that there was this real possibility that we were going to get to make that phone call that we had promised that we were going to get to make?

Talk to me about the moment when you called Jay's father.

Oh, man, yeah.

So it was such a cool moment.

I called him and I could tell he was in his truck.

You could just hear the wind noise.

And I said, hey, are you by yourself?

When he said pull over, I was like, okay, something's going on.
