Preliminary reports from McDonald County indicate that the bodies of a couple missing since mid-September have been found on a property adjacent to theirs in McDonald County.

73-year-old Leo Lindeman and his wife, 74-year-old Katherine Lindeman, went missing on or around September 16th of this year.

Their property near Anderson has been searched several times since they went missing.

Law enforcement were seen in the area today and a source close to the investigation indicated that the bodies were found.

According to the McDonald County Sheriff's Office, dispatchers received a call at approximately 4 p.m. Nov. 1 from a property owner who reported finding a deceased individual near the 4500 block of East State Highway 76 in Anderson.

When a deputy arrived, a second deceased individual was located in the area. A live dog was also found close to one of the deceased individuals.
