April Renee Greer was last reported seen driving an SUV
that was not hers, police say.
BURLINGTON, North Carolina (CNN) -- Police have
identified a dismembered body found in a trash can along
a creek bed as that of a pregnant woman reported missing
last month.
April Renee Greer, 20, was 7 1/2 months pregnant when
her mother, who lives in Florida, reported her missing
March 8. She was last seen February 21 in the parking
lot of a local restaurant, driving an SUV that was not
hers, said Burlington police Maj. Randy Jones.
Police made the announcement Tuesday, a day after a
farmer found the large plastic trash can stuffed with
what he thought were animal remains. Jones said it's
believed the trash can washed up along the creek bed
during recent flooding.
The farmer told the sheriff's department, which
identified them as human remains and turned them over to
the medical examiner.
Jones said the remains were identified quickly because
the victim wore a class ring inscribed with her name,
and had an identifying surgical scar and a surgical
plate in her ankle.
"There was some degree of dismembering, and we're not
releasing a lot of details on that at this point," Jones
said.
So far, he said, police have few leads.
"She did have a boyfriend, [but] he had not been named
as a suspect in this," Jones said. "We're not sure they
weren't going through a breakup. There are several
issues that are still under review."
Greer had an outstanding warrant for her arrest because
of a bad check, he said, and that is also under
investigation.
The real question, Jones said, is the vehicle Greer was
seen driving in February. He said the green Ford
Explorer could be key to determining whether her
disappearance was voluntary.
"After that point, she was not seen by anybody else,"
Jones said.
Greer, a hostess at a Cracker Barrel restaurant, was due
in early to mid-April, Jones said.
District Attorney Rob Johnson said he does not consider
the Greer case a double homicide.
"A fetus must be born, and be born alive, and then
expire for it to be a murder," Johnson said.
The Alamance County Sheriff's Department is leading the
investigation, and the North Carolina State Bureau of
Investigation is also involved, Jones said.
Alamance County lies between Greensboro and Durham along
Interstates 40 and 85.
