Remains found in Elyria near Tierra Bryant search site ELYRIA - Authorities confirm they have found remains in the area where they've been searching for Tierra Bryant. The remains have not been positively identified, and investigators cannot confirm if they're human, but Bryant's family was notified. The Lorain County Coroner was called to the scene. Authorities spent Thursday afternoon combing an area about 15 yards from the road. Police arrested 39-year-old Rashan Hunt on involuntary manslaughter charges for Bryant's death earlier this month. Bryant disappeared from the Motel 6 on Engle Road in March 2015 at the age of 19. A friend said Bryant sent her an ominous text message, asking to be picked up from the hotel. When the friend arrived, Bryant was gone. Hunt was the last person seen with Bryant while she was alive. draft April 2, 2015: Tierra Bryant, 19, last seen on March 30.

A source close to the investigation told WKYC that Hunt was with authorities at the search scene late last month. Authorities questioned Hunt shortly after Bryant's disappearance and witnesses reported seeing him burning items in a 55-gallon drum. But Hunt was not considered a suspect at the time, according to police. Stay with WKYC.com as more information becomes available. http://www.wkyc.com/news/local/lorain-coun...lyria/458181784 |

ELYRIA -- The skeletal remains found in a wooded area Thursday morning have been identified as Tierra Bryant, the Lorain County Coroner's Office confirmed. WKYC 11:26 AM. EDT July 23, 2017 (Photo: Office of County Executive Armond Budish) ELYRIA -- The skeletal remains found in a wooded area Thursday morning have been identified as Tierra Bryant, the Lorain County Coroner's Office confirmed. Bryant was last seen in Middleburg Heights in 2015. A coroner's office official says that dental records comparisons and two visible tattoos were used to identify Bryant. Additional studies are expected to be preformed on the remains, after which the body will be turned over to Bryant's family. Because her remains were found in Lorain County, it's a Lorain County case and the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner is not expected to be involved. It's not clear yet how long she had been decomposing, but authorities searched the same area of Mussey Avenue in Elyria for weeks. Rashad Hunt, 39, was reportedly the last person to see Bryant. He was arrested in Sacramento in June on charges of voluntary manslaughter, felony assault, tampering with evidence, gross abuse of a corpse and obstructing official business. According to court documents, Hunt was last known to be with Bryant at a Motel 6 in Middleburg Heights. Hunt was arraigned earlier this month.http://www.wkyc.com/news/remains-found-in-...ryant/458879232 |
