Crime_SceneYesterday, authorities in North Carolina recovered human skeletal remains that they believed belonged to Kelly Currin Morris, a 28-year-old mother of two, who vanished on Sept 3, 2008. A press conference that took place this afternoon was expected to provide more details regarding the discovery; however it ultimately proved to raise more questions than answers.

According to Granville County Sheriff Brindell Wilkins, his department received information on Monday that led police to the wooded area where the remains were recovered but he refused to comment further.

"We're doing the best we can,” Wilkins said. “I don't want to mess up anything we're doing by things getting out."

While Wilkins provided very little information on the remains, Kelly's family has stated that the remains were positively identified using dental records.

Meanwhile, new details have surfaced regarding the arrest of Kelly's husband, 35-year-old William "Scott" Morris. According to the arrest warrant, Morris has been charged with first-degree murder. He also faces a charge of fraudulently burning a dwelling. Morris is being held at the Granville County Detention Center without bond. His first court appearance has been scheduled for Dec. 2.

In related news, Chief District Court Judge Daniel Finch has signed an emergency order, granting Kelly's father and stepmother – Pat and Juanita Currin – custody of Scott and Kelly's 6-year-old daughter. A formal custody hearing is set to take place Friday.

Leigh Marine OcchiI spent a week in Tupelo, Mississippi, this past summer looking into the mysterious disappearance of 13-year-old Leigh Marine Occhi. The resulting in-depth story proved to be one of the most popular series on this site. Since that time, there has been a renewed interest in the case. Earlier today, CNN chose to feature Leigh's case on their site, along with an article written by Alexis Weed, a producer for the Nancy Grace show. Perhaps now, with all of the publicity that Leigh's case is getting, the person(s) responsible will be more forthcoming.
