Dr. H. Wayne Carver, the chief state medical examiner, was in charge of Elizabeth’s autopsy. “Gough Heath’s maxilla — the upper jaw — had been traumatically amputated from the skull, the warrant states. There also were four separate areas where her skull had been crushed, it states. Carver also found during the autopsy that two arm bones were broken, which is consistent with Gough Heath having defended herself by putting her arms up. The position of the bones indicated that the body had been wrapped in the bedding and placed headfirst in the hole.”
After having been missing for years, Elizabeth’s remains were found on a Poverty Hollow Road property while workers were performing renovation work. Her bones were discovered in an old dry well in the basement of the barn. The dry well was covered by a wood board and cement. The homeowner said that when the boards and cement were removed, garbage bags full of bedding and a femur were found. When police arrived, they said more bones and later an entire human skeleton were found.
John Heath has pleaded not guilty.
