The remains of a North Carolina teen were found late Tuesday in Cabarrus County, days after she was reported missing.
17-year-old Baylee Carver’s body was located north of Highway 49 and Route 601, Albemarle Police Chief Jason Bollhorst said.
“We offer our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Baylee Carver,” the Chief added.
“As they mourn their loss, our hearts are with them during this difficult time.”
“The Albemarle Police Department is grateful for all of the assistance and resources provided throughout the course of this search. The investigation is still ongoing.”
Carver’s boyfriend, Joshua Biles, told police after she was reported missing on Friday that she was dead.
The 20-year-old also admitted to disposing of her body although he said he couldn’t remember where he discarded her remains.
Authorities said that over a dozen agencies contributed in the search for Carver’s body combing more than 160 miles with dogs and drones.
