You won't find anything of note, you'll take the rest of your life attempting it, and won't get anywhere close to finished.

Digging in Missouri is an exercise to try the patience of a saint, or the desperation of a murderer. I can't imagine the amount of work it would take to bury three bodies, even in the best of Missouri soil.

Mabye there were empty shafts or wells where they put them?

We only have lead mining, and none of it is close to Springfield.

And our wells are typically cased 10" steel pipes. Old style wells do exist, but they're rare enough you'd have to know of an abandoned one beforehand. That would be harder to find than just digging a grave.
