BOYLE COUNTY, Ky.<\/strong> – <\/span>Human remains believed to be connected to the 1994 disappearance of Anna Manning were discovered in Kentucky as her husband and mother-in-law face murder-related charges in the decades-old case.<\/p>

Dig deeper:<\/p>

Manning was just 23 years old when she disappeared from Junction City, Kentucky, according to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).<\/p>

<\/div>

The database states Manning was last seen on Nov. 19, 1992, standing outside Chinn\u2019s Jewelry Shop on North Third Street. She was reported missing in 1994.\u00a0<\/p>

Her aunt, Elsie Williams, later recalled seeing Anna that day.<\/p>

“She shouted out to her aunt and said she had something to tell her,” the NamUs case file states.<\/p>

Williams never learned what Anna wanted to say. She never saw her niece again.<\/p>

What we don’t know:<\/p>

Authorities said the identity of the remains will not be confirmed until forensic testing is completed, and family members have been notified, citing the sensitive nature of the investigation.<\/p>

What’s next:<\/p>

Officials said the discovery came through ongoing investigative work involving multiple agencies. The remains have been recovered and will undergo forensic testing to determine a positive identification.<\/p>
