Crystal Rogers investigation: FBI will push Bardstown search into 5th day
The renewed search in the Crystal Rogers investigation will go at least another day longer than expected.
The FBI has been in Bardstown since Monday focused on a farm where the mother of five was last seen alive back in 2015.
The farm has ties to her ex-boyfriend Brooks Hauck, who has been the prime suspect in the case, yet has never been charged.
Investigators said they planned to wrap up Thursday, but are now planning to keep the search going on through Friday.
Over the past few days, they've been honing in on a specific area of the 200-acre property using drones, cadaver dogs and excavating equipment.
Crime scene experts tell us they believe with that much manpower and equipment, there's a "good chance" investigators think they're going to find what they're looking for.
During last year's big search, the FBI said they found "multiple items of interest," but never disclosed what they were.
More background on Rogers
Rogers went missing in 2015. Her car was found abandoned with a flat tire on Bluegrass Parkway in Bardstown with her phone, purse and keys still inside.
His home, and brother Nick Houck's home, have been searched.
At one point, investigators zeroed in on Houck's grandmother, Anna Whitesides.
The state believed her car may have been used to dispose of Rogers' body. Whitesides, who had previously talked to investigators, later invoked her Fifth Amendment right, refusing to testify when called to court.
Just a year after Rogers died, on Nov. 19, 2016, her father was shot and killed on family property near Bluegrass Parkway, and his killing also remains unsolved.
