Two decomposed bodies were found inside a car connected to a newly engaged North Carolina couple who disappeared about three weeks ago, according to a report.
Stephanie Mayorga, 27, and Paige Escalera, 25, were last seen in surveillance footage April 15 leaving their home in a 2013 Dodge Dart, news station WECT reported.
The car was discovered with the bodies deep in the woods off River Road on Monday afternoon, according to police.
It’s unclear if the missing women were the ones in the vehicle, since the bodies were so badly decomposed, police said.
Investigators have previously described their disappearance as “suspicious,” saying they left behind their belongings in their apartment.
“It is not unusual for persons of this age group to be spontaneous,” Wilmington police Capt. Thomas Tillman said.
“It was unusual that the roommates didn’t come back home and also that they had left all their property in the home.”
