ROSS TWP., Pa. - A mystery continues to unfold in the Poconos. Police have been digging around a property in Ross Township for nearly a week.

69 News has confirmed the search is related to the disappearance of a Lehigh County woman, who vanished nearly three years ago.

Holly Grim left her home in 2013, leaving almost everything she had, including her glasses and cigarettes. There were very few leads in that time. But we now can confirm police are searching a Ross Township home, the home of a man who used to work with Holly Grim at Allen Organ.

On Monday state police said they collected more than 100 bags of evidence from the property, related Holly Grim's disappearance. Police say there is no threat to the neighbors and that the crime did not occur in Monroe County. It was an isolated incident, according to police.

Her picture was posted, volunteer search teams tried to find her, but for nearly three years, the search for Holly Grim uncovered few answers.

69 News has confirmed troopers are searching a Ross Township man's home under a sealed warrant related to Holly Grim's 2013 disappearance.

The home is owned by Michael Horvath, who worked with Grim at Allen Organ in Lower Macungie.

Investigators say Grim and Horvath had a working relationship, but Grim's mother tells 69 News they were not friends.

They also tell us that Horvath is not currently at the home while investigators continue excavating and looking for evidence. He is one of hundreds of people who has been interviewed over the last few years.

Investigators wouldn't say why they're now looking at Horvath's home.

Documents that may shed some light on that, including the search warrant, are still under seal.

But, they tell us they expect to be on his property searching through the better part of this week. They've been out there since Tuesday.

State police tell us there's currently no evidence suggesting Holly Grim left her home on her own.
