A western North Carolina woman missing for several weeks has been found dead in her home, buried in concrete, a sheriff's investigator said.
An autopsy and dental records confirmed the remains of Lynn Gay Keene, 70, of Linville Falls, were found in the basement, according to the Avery County Sheriff's Office.
"She had blunt force trauma to the head as well as strangulation by ligature -- it was a belt," sheriff's Det. Tim Austin told WBTV in Charlotte, which is 110 miles miles southeast of Linville Falls. Sheriff Kevin Frye didn't immediately respond to phone messages Saturday seeking more details. The High Country Press newspaper, citing Frye, reported that the woman being sought is currently receiving medical care and that Frye would release an official statement on Monday.
