As part of a cold case investigation, police are digging up a lawn in Hermon today, looking for a body.

WABI-TV reports several law enforcement agencies are at the scene, including State Police, Penobscot County Sheriff's Deputies, and Bangor Police. An excavator is digging up the lawn of a home on the New Boston Road.

The endeavor is part of a cold case investigation into the disappearance of Sharon Smith, who was last seen in September of 1980. Smith worked at the Paramount Lounge on Harlow Street before she went missing.
