Human remains could belong to missing Marion County man

Glen Jean, W.Va. — Investigators suggest human remains found under the New River Gorge Bridge could be those of a Marion County man reported missing almost 2 decades ago.

A work crew found parts of a skeleton Thursday while prepping for future bridge repairs.

State police indicated there is evidence to believe the remains belong to Robert Kovack, 25 of Rivesville, who was reported missing in 1998.

He was a Virginia Tech student.
