An adult in Mariah Woods life has been charged the morning with 1st degree murder and felony child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury/death. Adolphus Earl Kimry II has been charged and been placed under no bond and is being held for a first apperance this afternoon.
Authorities believe they have found the body of Mariah Woods, a 3-year-old eastern North Carolina girl missing since Sunday, the FBI said Saturday. The body was found Saturday evening in Pender County, according to Shelley Lynch with the FBI in Charlotte.
As the investigation and search for the 3-year-old girl moved through its third day, Onslow County Sheriff Hans Miller and Federal Bureau of Investigation Senior Supervisor Agent Stanley Meador held their second press conference. "We're in our third day of our investigation and search for the little girl, and we want to find her and bring her home," Miller said.
For most of Onslow County, they only see judges when they're in a black gown sitting high above the courtroom they preside over, but these judges are more than the last word in a courtroom.
