SANDERSVILLE, Ga. (AP) – An autopsy confirms that a body found June 4 on a rural road in eastern Georgia is a missing teacher.
Washington County Sheriff Joel Cochran tells WMAZ-TV that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirms the remains belonged to 46-year-old Tina Prince. Cochran said he met with family members Friday to discuss the autospy, but said it’s too soon to say how Prince died.
The body was found near a clay mine outside Sandersville.
The first grade teacher was last seen May 28 when she left a restaurant after getting phone calls, telling her daughter she was leaving to meet a man later identified as 31-year-old Aaron Matthew Adams.
Adams was arrested the day the body was found, charged with felonies for concealing a death and false statements. Jail records show Adams remained jailed Friday without bail. It’s unclear if Adams has a lawyer to speak for him.
