The car was discovered “deep in the woods and covered in vegetation," police in Wilmington, North Carolina, said.
A car belonging to one of two North Carolina women who have been missing since mid-April was found with two bodies inside in a heavily wooded area.
Police in Wilmington, North Carolina, announced Tuesday that on Monday they discovered a gray Dodge Dart belonging to Paige Escalera. Escalera, 25, was last seen with her fiancée, Stephanie Mayorga, 27, on April 15, and authorities said at the time that the two disappeared under “suspicious” circumstances.
“The car was found just after 3 p.m. outside the Watermark Marina with two unidentified bodies inside,” Wilmington police said in the statement Tuesday. The vehicle was “deep in the woods and covered in vegetation,” and authorities believe the car “may have been involved in an extremely high velocity crash.”
"Due to the effects of decomposition, police cannot positively identify the two bodies at this time," police said, but autopsies are scheduled.
