He saw the devastation firsthand and witnessed a mass grave dug behind a church in the town center. Pelley vowed to return to learn more about the people who were killed and buried in that mass grave.
While in Bucha, Pelley interviewed Serhii Kaplychnyi, Serhii Matiuk, And Vladyslav Minchenko, the three men who buried the dead in the mass grave behind St. Andrews Church. Kaplychnyi, the town's funeral director, negotiated access to bodies with the Russians. Minchenko and Matiuk retrieved the bodies.

Kaplychnyi told 60 Minutes the town chose the church because it was within the perimeters set by the Russians during their negotiations. St. Andrew's was the only logical location. There were no other options.
Father Andriy Halavin, the priest at St. Andrew's, gave Kaplychnyi and the team permission to dig the grave on church grounds. More than 100 people were buried there. Since the occupation ended last spring, the bodies have been exhumed and burials have been conducted – some by Father Halavin.
