WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) - Two bodies were discovered Monday inside of a car that was found in a wooded area in North Carolina, police said.
Wilmington police officers were called to an area near the Cape Fear River after 3 p.m., where they found a grey 2013 Dodge Dart “deep in the woods,” according to a statement from the department.
Investigators could not immediately identify the bodies because of significant decomposition, police said.
WRAL-TV reported that officials confirmed the car was connected to a missing persons case involving two Wilmington women who were last seen April 15. Officials did not comment further.
Police were continuing to investigate.
