GEORGETOWN, Mass. (AP) — Authorities are continuing to search at a home in Georgetown in what they will only say is an ongoing investigation.
The FBI and Massachusetts State Police began the search Friday at the home of Peter Haskell, who died at age 85 last month.
The Essex County district attorney’s office is leading the investigation, but has not said what they are looking for.
Neighbors say Haskell lived alone. His next-door neighbor told The Daily News of Newburyport that investigators searched his house five years ago with K-9 units.
The home is surrounded by police tape. Investigators have dug up part of the yard and are also looking inside the house.
According to his obituary, Haskell was involved with youth sports as a coach for 67 years in Georgetown, Beverly and Bradford.
