Megan Maxwell's mother had one of the most emotional days since her daughter's disappearance on April 26, 2009. Investigators talked to her about the discovery of bones found in the woods near the road where Megan's burned car had been found.
"It could be [Megan]," Lisa Maxwell said. "It was the area her car was around. So it could be."
Just ten days ago, Lisa Maxwell made a plea to local hunters to look out for anything suspicious which might lead to new information about Megan's whereabouts.
"It gets harder everyday," she had said in an interview then.
But now, she may receive new information. Investigators will be checking out the identity of the remains.
Family friend Randy Lane, who has been heading the search for Megan's body, talked about the long-sought discovery.
"Having seen that area now, it would've definitely been a good location to search for the remains for her body at the time," Lane said. "I'm fairly certain we had searchers in that area searching, they just apparently missed it."
Megan's family and friends visited the investigation scene Thursday, but the mother hasn't stopped by. She said it would be too hard right now, and she's waiting at home to hear more from investigators.
"I'm numb feeling," the mother said.
Lisa Maxwell said she'll probably have another sleepless night.
Megan's sister, Stephanie, had mixed feelings about the discovery.
"I'm worried about her [Lisa Maxwell]," she said. "Scared. I don't know if I want this to be Megan or not. I guess this is what we've been waiting so long for, but it just feels weird."
Megan's family is hopeful that something good will come out of the discovery.
"I hope they [investigators] can do the best job they can do and find out who this is," Lisa Maxwell said. "If it's Megan or it's not, it's somebody."
The Cocke County Sheriff's Department met with Lisa Maxwell at her house late Thursday to talk about the investigation, but the family said they didn't learn any more information.
