The remains of Allisha Watts, a missing North Carolina woman, have been found, and her boyfriend has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Watts, 39, was last seen alive on July 16 leaving her boyfriend James Dunmore's house in Charlotte. Her car was later found with Dunmore inside, unresponsive, after an apparent suicide attempt. Watts' remains were discovered in a wooded area near a cemetery in Montgomery County. The arrest of Dunmore comes after investigators found a shell casing near his home and seized several items, including a 9mm handgun.
The Moore County Sheriff's Office, along with other law enforcement agencies, formed a task force to investigate Watts' disappearance. They have not disclosed the cause of death or the details surrounding the discovery of her remains.
Watts, an advocate for people with mental health issues and the elderly, was reported missing on July 19. Her family and friends have sought closure and held several prayer vigils during the search for her. The investigation into Watts' murder is still ongoing, and authorities are asking the public to provide any additional information that may assist in the case.
