Officials are releasing little about the woman found dead in the Piney Green area.

The autopsy of the body discovered Dec. 31 near the end of Thomas Humphrey Road in Jacksonville has been conducted by the Medical Examiner’s office and Onslow County Sheriff Hans Miller said he is awaiting the results from the autopsy before releasing any additional information on the case.

“We are being very tight with what we know to maintain the investigation and not jump to conclusions,” Miller told The Daily News Tuesday morning.

Miller said the case is being handled as a homicide.

NEW INFO: Greensboro man arrested in 22-year-old woman's murder

ONSLOW COUNTY, NC (WITN) - A Greensboro man has been charged with the murder of an Onslow County woman whose body was found New Year's Eve.

Sheriff Hans Miller says 41-year-old James Moore, of Greensboro, was arrested in Guilford County around 9:00 a.m.

Shelby Brown's decomposed body was found by teenagers off Thomas Humphrey Road outside of Jacksonville on December 31st. Deputies say she had been stabbed.

The 22-year-old woman was reported missing on January 3rd by her mother, while the body was positively identified about a week later.

Miller says Moore has a lengthy criminal history including drug offenses and breaking and enterings.

Investigators say Moore, who they described as being a transient, and Brown had a relationship. They say the two had met on social media.

"Because of this type of crime -- it not outside the realm of thinking that there may be additional victims out there," said Major Chris Thomas. "If anyone recognizes this individual and has a report they'd like to file with us, we encourage them to call the Sheriff's office."
