Deputies found the remains of a young mother buried at a home in North Carolina.
The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office reported Jordan Wishon missing on Friday. Two days after she vanished, investigators shifted the search to a murder investigation after making the grim discovery while executing a search warrant.
In a post to social media, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said in part, “At approximately 5:17 a.m., investigators executed a search warrant at a residence on Pebblestone Lane in Rutherfordton. During the search, human remains were discovered buried on the property. Investigators were able to positively identify the remains as Jordan Wishon.”
The man accused of killing her has had prior run-ins with the law, reports show.

Hamilton was already in jail on another unrelated charge.
WLOS reported that authorities arrested Hamilton for an alleged vehicle theft in Polk County, and prior to that, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol charged him with reckless driving offenses and resisting arrest.
Hamilton currently sits in jail in Polk County awaiting his newest charge.
According to her obituary, Wishon was a 30-year-old mother who had one child and a fiance.
Casandra Toney, who said she is Wishon’s sister, made a post to Facebook that said, “I’m gonna miss you so much. This is unfair. You did not deserve this, but I can’t promise you we will get justice for you.”
She went on to say, “I hope you know at the end of the day. I do love you and we’ll always love you. You’re my sister you’re my big sister at that.”
The murder investigation is ongoing.
