The pet duck’s inadvertent discovery led authorities to charge the missing woman’s granddaughter and grandson-in-law in the crime.
A pet duck has helped authorities in the murder investigation of a missing woman in
North Carolina.
In 2020, Nellie Sullivan, in her early 90s, disappeared without a trace, prompting authorities to launch an investigation without avail.
However, on 14 April , a pet duck ran under a trailer in Candler, North Carolina. Its owners then discovered a container with Sullivan’s remains underneath the trailer.
According to Buncombe county sheriff’s office, “Apparently, the duck ran underneath the trailer at 11 Beady Eyed Lane, and as they were chasing after their pet duck, they ran across the container that Nellie Sullivan was located in.”
