A body was found in the debris on July 30. Officials say the body is that of a male, but the identity has not been confirmed.

Authorities are searching for 79-year-old James “Bill” Wood and his 72-year-old wife Kaidena “Kay” Wood. They were seen at a local auction on the morning of July 30. Their truck was found on July 31 at the Cordillera Ranch Apartments in Kansas City.
