A man from Edenton, North Carolina, is facing a murder charge after allegedly killing a woman whose body was discovered in the trunk of a towed vehicle, as reported by Fox News.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (NCSBI) reported that on January 17, the body of a woman was found in a vehicle belonging to Jordan Isaiah Thomas in Beaufort County. The NCSBI believes the victim to be a 19-year-old student from Elizabeth City State University, although an identification is still pending from the medical examiner’s office.
The NCSBI also stated that the cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner. According to investigators, the vehicle had been parked in a private lot on U.S. Highway 264 in Washington, North Carolina. The vehicle was towed to a local facility, where the body was discovered in the trunk by an employee of the towing company.
After conducting an investigation, detectives determined that Thomas had left his vehicle in the private lot before stealing a truck from the same location. The stolen truck was later found at a nearby hospital in Washington, North Carolina, where Thomas was arrested. The NCSBI investigators believe that the victim was killed at a different location than where the vehicle was found. The exact location of the murder is still under investigation.
It has been revealed that Thomas and the victim knew each other. Thomas is now facing charges of murder, larceny of a motor vehicle, and concealing the death of a person. The investigation is still ongoing.
