STARLIGHT — Two days of searching for new evidence against accused murderer William Clyde Gibson III, 54 of New Albany, ended without new findings.

Investigators with the New Albany Police Department and Clark County Sheriff’s Department searched a property on the 9000 block of St. Johns Road near Starlight for more evidence against Gibson on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Sherri Knight, New Albany Police Chief, said crews were searching for evidence related to the Gibson case, based on tips from sources. But she didn’t specify what kind of evidence investigators sought, nor where those tips came from.

But the owner of the property, Mike Missi, 58, of Starlight, said police told him they were searching for two more bodies along with identifying belongings, and that Gibson was on the property Tuesday aiding the search.

Missi said Gibson and his girlfriend lived in a trailer on land that belonged to Missi’s father, Wilfred, for six or nine months between 1999 and 2000. Missi said investigators brought Gibson to the property Tuesday to indicate where bodies may have been buried. He said Gibson led them down a steep hill near a creekbed, but they didn’t find anything.

On Wednesday, crews used an excavator to dig out sections of what was Gibson’s backyard. Missi said no evidence was found there, either.

“I was hoping they would find some bodies for the families, but unfortunately, they didn’t,” Missi said. “I would just like them to get on with it so a lot of  people can go on with their lives.”

Greg Pennell, NAPD assistant chief, said several sources gave tips on where police might find evidence, but wasn’t sure if NAPD’s search will continue at the site after two days of no findings.

“I’m sure what they’ll do today is evaluate what they have learned, if anything, and make their decision from there if they’re going to continue,” Pennell said.

He said police will continue to follow-up on leads for evidence and explore all of them, so long as they seem fruitful. Missi said while Gibson lived on his father’s property, he seemed like a nice person. Missi employed Gibson and his then-girlfriend at his business, Missi Contract Assembly. He said they were both good workers.

“When [Gibson] was here [Tuesday], I told him I hope he is with God and I’m glad he’s cooperating,” Missi said.

Gibson is charged with three murders — Christine Whitis, 75, of Clarksville, Karen Hodella, 45 and Stephanie Kirk, 35, of Charlestown.

Keith Henderson, Floyd County prosecutor, is seeking the death penalty for Gibson.
