He has not been charged with any crime.

The couple are both said to suffer from schizophrenia.
Legendre told The New York Daily News: “I didn’t show what I found.
“I just see something there and I just closed it back up and called them. I see something, maybe bones.
“Right now I’m just still having problems analyzing it, you know?
“It’s Father’s Day. I’m just trying to see if I can wrap my head around this. My whole day is messed up.”
Legendre had said he was investigating a strange smell in the basement, where his 30-year-old son lives.
