Human remains were discovered at the former residence of Brian Giles, a Pennsylvania man recently convicted of killing his wife, Nancy Giles. The authorities in Johnstown made the grim find, shedding new light on the haunting case. Brian Giles, 48, was found guilty on Thursday for the death of his wife, Nancy Giles, who vanished in October 2018 and was later found buried in a shallow grave. Now, a chilling discovery beneath the basement of the couple's former apartment has unfolded, as police unearthed another set of remains. The second body, buried 2 to 3 feet under a basement crawlspace, was detected with the assistance of a cadaver dog, as reported by the New Castle News on Sunday. District Attorney Greg Neugebauer revealed that investigators received "specific information" about a body at the residence, marking the unfolding mystery. Cambria County Coroner Jeffrey Lees deemed the situation "highly suspicious," considering the location of the remains. The painstaking excavation process, reported by WJAC-TV, was followed by the transfer of the remains for forensic analysis at Mercyhurst University in Erie after an autopsy. "This is going to be a lengthy investigation and methodical process in removing these remains," stated Coroner Jeffrey Lees. Amidst the chilling revelations, questions linger about Jilly Todaro, Giles' girlfriend who lived with him and has been missing since December 2020, after Giles was charged with assaulting her. Officials refrained from confirming any connection to Todaro's case. Giles, convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in Nancy Giles' death, asserted his innocence even as the jury's verdict was delivered. His attorneys raised concerns about his mental health struggles not being adequately addressed during the trial. Meanwhile, Giles' court-appointed attorney declined to comment on the discovery of the second set of remains. As the investigation unfolds, the community grapples with the chilling revelations from the depths of the past.
