The farm where the bodies were found is about 25 miles away from East Point.
“Scientists are conducting DNA processing on the second set of remains to get an identification,” the GBI said.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said they are investigating Salter’s death as a homicide, but they have not released his cause of death.
Family members described Salter and Guerra as “pillars of the community.”
“They were very special and loved in the community,” Jason’s sister said. “They didn’t have enemies that we know of.”
Family members urged the public to contact the GBI with any information about the case that could help determine what happened and who is responsible.
