Newly unsealed search warrant affidavits offer a glimpse for the first time of how authorities believe a 40-year-old Maryland cold case came to a grisly end on a remote mountain in Bedford County.
The affidavits were filed in Bedford County Circuit Court in January, but were sealed until Wednesday when authorities announced a Delaware prisoner was indicted on murder charges in connection with the 1975 disappearance of two Maryland girls.

The affidavits suggest the girls’ remains may have been burned in a fire on Taylors Mountain, detailing witness statements about duffle bags that smelled like “death” and bloodstained clothes.
According to the documents, family members said the items were brought to the mountain in the spring of 1975 by their cousin Lloyd Lee “Michael” Welch Jr., who was indicted Friday in Bedford County on murder charges in connection with the girls’ case.
