POLK — Detectives are bringing fresh eyes to a nearly 20 year-old case of a missing Ashland man.
Investigators from the sheriff’s office, Ashland Police and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation searched two properties in Polk on Tuesday.
Brubaker has been missing since October 2005. He was 30 at the time.
The refreshed search comes after “receiving several confidential tips into the ongoing investigation.”
“The agencies exhausted the use of technical resources offered by BCI in efforts to follow up the leads that were given to us,” read a press release issued by the sheriff’s office.
Reporters observed three BCI vehicles parked near two properties being searched and the use of two K-9s to search the properties.
Law enforcement officers were observed searching the area from around 10 a.m. until about 12:15 p.m.
Officers did not provide any additional information.
The sheriff’s office encouraged anyone with information regarding Brubaker’s disappearance to call the detective bureau at 419-289-8362.
