Digging Continues At Springfield House Of Horrors: 3 Bodies Found

SPRINGFIELD, MA—The body count is now up and the investigation intensifies after authorities found a third corpse in the home of a man who has been charged with kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and torturing a woman, said Hampden County District Attorney Gulluni.

Two dead bodies were found Wednesday night at 1333 Page Boulevard in Springfield. On Thursday night, authorities found a third corpse.

"As you can imagine, it's a very complicated investigation," said Gulluni in a press conference on Thursday evening. He added the search for more would continue in the morning.

Stewart Weldon, 47, who authorities believe lives at the home, was arrested on Sunday night and he is being held on $1 million bail for allegedly holding a woman hostage for a month.

Weldon was arrested after a car chase with police in which he crashed into a cruiser and then wrestled with the officers. The woman who was in Weldon's car told police he had her captive for a month and sexually assaulted her, and beat her with objects, reports CBS Boston.

Gulluni did not tell reporters how long the bodies had been on the property, where they came from, or any identities.

By early Friday morning, an underground radar imaging service had been set up and more "shovels and barricades"had come out, according to MassLive.

Fox25 News reported that a child was also taken from the home.
