Remains found at Kennesaw home where veteran went missing in 2014

Photos taken from a GoFundMe page purport to show Chase Massner, a Cherokee County man who went messing in March 2014. He was 26 years old at the time. Cobb Police on Tuesday said remains were found at the Kennesaw home where Massner had been last seen, though it had not been determined if the remains were human or animal in nature. The GoFundMe page was started in May 2015 to help collect money to help volunteers searching for Massner, the MDJ previously reported.
Special to the MDJ

Cobb Police say they have found remains at a Kennesaw address where a missing Cherokee County man had been last seen more than three years ago.

Chase Massner, 26, had been reported missing by his wife, Amanda, and his mother, Stephanie Cadena, on March 28, 2014, after he was allegedly seen at a friend’s home on Farmbrook Lane about 1 p.m. the previous day, the MDJ previously reported.

On Tuesday, Cobb detectives were working to secure warrants to search that same home after remains were found in the home’s backyard earlier in the day, said Officer Alicia Chilton, spokesperson for Cobb Police. However, Chilton said authorities did not know as of Tuesday evening whether the remains were that of a human or animal.


“This has been an ongoing investigation, and as part of that investigation, these remains were discovered,” Chilton told the MDJ.

The home’s current occupants are not the same as those who lived there in March 2014, Chilton said, and as of Tuesday evening, no one was in custody or charged in connection to Massner’s disappearance.

Massner, a husband and father of two, worked at a QuikTrip convenience store on Bells Ferry Road in Kennesaw and had served a year in Iraq as a military police officer, a family friend told the MDJ in 2014.


A Cherokee County police report at the time said Massner, who was honorably discharged from the Army in 2011, had been having disagreements with his wife for a few days leading up to his disappearance. The police report also said he had had some trouble with his mental state.

Massner has brown hair and eyes and was wearing a red sweatshirt and khaki pants when he was last seen. The 6-foot-2 man had a number of tattoos — a treasure chest, an angel and his last name on his arm and two roses on the right side of his chest.http://www.mdjonline.com/news/remains-foun...12d728c391.html

Remains found behind Ga. home ID'd as long-missing Iraq War vet Chase Massner

KENNESAW, Ga. -- Remains found under a concrete slab behind a Georgia home Aug. 1 have been positively identified as long-missing Iraq War veteran Chase Massner, reports CBS affiliate WGCL.

The Cobb County medical examiner made the determination based on dental records obtained from the Department of Defense, Cobb police say.

James Bradshaw Clement, who used to live at the Kennesaw home where the remains were found and is believed to be the last person to have seen Massner alive in 2014, is being held in Dekalb County on a charge of concealing human remains.

Clement, 31, was arrested two weeks ago after about two weeks on the run, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

"Now we can begin to plan a proper funeral for Chase, our son, husband and father," Massner's mother Stephanie Cadena told WGCL. "The next step is to prosecute the man being charged in this case."

Massner, 26, spent four years in the Army and served one year in Iraq, WGCL reports. He was last seen in March of 2014 at a Kennesaw Arby's. He worked as a night manager at a nearby Quik Trip.

WGCL reports Clement told police he had picked up Massner and brought him to the house, where he stayed the night. He said Massner, who was married with two children, was having marital problems and just wanted to talk.

Clement told police Massner left the house on foot the next day and never returned, according to WGCL.

At the end of June, police brought search dogs to the home, WGCL reported. The dogs found scents that indicated the presence of human remains.

The current resident of the house didn't live there when Massner disappeared, the station reports.
