Dried blood found at a recycling plant is that of a 20-year-old who was reported missing there two months ago, a South Carolina coroner said.
Duncan Alexander Burrell Gordon, of Greer, was reported missing in early May from the recycling plant where his father is a supervisor.
The machine at Industrial Recycling and Recovery Inc. was inspected four times, the first by Gordon's father, Clevenger said in a news release Wednesday. The material was found during the third search, which included a cadaver dog. He said the sample's DNA fit with that of Gordon's parents, WSB-TV reported.
Clevenger said sheriff's deputies were told that about 30 tons of plastic"had been processed between the time Gordon was noticed missing and when the first investigator arrived to inspect the machine."
