The WV State Police in Grantsville told Spencer Newspapers that the search for a missing teen on a Beech farm did not produce results.
The Herald reported last week that a body was not discovered.
State Police from Calhoun-Roane and the Roane County Sheriff's Department spent a day last week at the property with a medical examiner, prompting numerous calls to the Herald.
Sgt. O. S. Starsick of the Grantsville Detachment confirmed that the search of the William Denmark farm was related to David Beach, missing from his Spencer residence since 2006.
Beach, a former resident of Grantsville, would now be 21 years old.
"We were searching for clues or indications the missing person may have been at that property," Starsick told the Times Record-Roane County Reporter, saying "Nothing concrete was found."
Starsick said the medical examiner's office and a coroner was called to the scene in case something was found.
Starsick said Beach had been to the Denmark property several times.
Beach's mother, Barbara Hicks said her son had been friends with Seth Denmark, William Denmark's son.
Circuit Judge David Nibert sentenced Seth Denmark of Beech to the Anthony Center for 6 months and 2 years last year, related to felony charges of child concealment.
Initial charges against Denmark for kidnapping were dropped.
Calhoun County Sheriff Carl Ballengee charged Denmark with the kidnapping of three juvenile girls from Calhoun, ages 16, 14, and 10 in October, 2007.
Chief Deputy Todd Cole of the Roane Sheriffs Department told Spencer Newspapers, "If something happened, it happened in Calhoun."
Sgt. Starsick said Cpl. Doug Starcher of the Grantsville Detachment is in charge of the Calhoun investigation.
Beach's mother continues to hope her son is alive.
