FBI digging behind Providence building for human remains

March 29, 2016 6:15 pm

The property surrounding an old mill building off of Branch Ave. in Providence remains the center of the FBI’s search for human remains.

Sources tell ABC 6 News that they are looking for the body of a Boston business man.

The Boston Globe is reporting that man is Steven DiSarro who was murdered in the early 90’s.

No one has been charged with the murder of DiSarro but, former La Cosa Nostra Boss Frank "Cadillac" Salemme was charged with obstruction of justice and making false statements regarding his disappearance.

A Medical Examiner’s van arrived on scene of the search site early Wednesday night. It’s not clear what if anything has been found so far.

The FBI is keeping the investigation very tight lipped. They will only say there is no danger to the public.

"It just concerns me," said William Otzel who lives nearby.

"No answers, just all tape and questions. Yellow tape and questions," said Corey Reckert. "I’m curious to know what happened."

Neighbors say the lack of information is unsettling.

"If there’s no threat then why not release more information," said Otzel.

Back in August the FBI busted up a large scale marijuana growing operation in This mill building. The owner of that building is William Ricci. A court affidavit shows he has ties to the mob.

We are told the FBI will be back on scene Thursday morning.
