MCCOMB, Miss. (AP) Authorities say the remains found recently in a wooded area in northeastern Pike County belong to a Jayess woman who disappeared in 2004.
Pike County Sheriff Mark Shepherd says that the remains belong to Deborah Brock. She was last seen Feb. 5, 2004, at age 39.
Shepherd says foul play has been suspected from the beginning.
Three days after Brock went missing, her car was found in the parking lot at Pike Center Mart. Blood and hair in the trunk led lawmen to suspect Brock had been abducted.
Shepherd says a landowner found partial human remains in a wooded area. He declined to identify the landowner, specify the area or say exactly when the discovery took place.
