Body found under home

Washoe County sheriff's deputies said they found the grave on Thursday after receiving information from some individuals familiar with the case.

Deputies said the case involves a white male reported missing about four years ago, but his name wasn't immediately released.

The coroner's office is trying to confirm the victim's identity and pinpoint the cause of death.

The body was found in a 3-foot grave in the crawl space of a North Virginia Road house.

Two suspects have been questioned by investigators but have not been booked in the case at this time, deputies said.

The suspects, Nell Johnston and Charles Delavega, were both in custody on unrelated charges.

Deputies said they plan to release more information about the case at a Monday news conference.

The house's current occupants are not connected to the case, deputies said.
