"20-Year-Old Mystery Solved: Remains of Missing Florida Teen Unearthed"

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office in Florida believes they have found the remains of 16-year-old Autumn McClure, who went missing in 2004, buried under a trailer in Ormond Beach. The investigation, spanning nearly 20 years, led to the excavation of the property, where 99% of the human remains have been recovered. Although matching the remains with McClure is pending, the sheriff's office has notified her family of the discovery. The prime suspect, Brian Donley, who allegedly killed McClure, died in 2022, and therefore cannot be prosecuted for the crime.
