'CLEVELAND, Ga. (CBS/AP) The brother of Kristi Cornwell, who disappeared while walking near her parents' home more than a year ago, found his sister's burned, skeletal remains on New Year's Day in the north Georgia woods after one of his many hours of diligent searching.'
'Her boyfriend, who was talking to her on her cell phone at the time, told police that she said a vehicle appeared to be following her and he overheard a struggle moments later.'

''Carringer, 42, killed himself in May after a standoff with Atlanta police who were trying to arrest him on charges that he raped a teenager in Gilmer County. Police in Montgomery, Ala., said Carringer also likely tried to abduct a 10-year old girl during a church egg hunt there a few days earlier.''

''Mike Ayers, former special agent in charge of the regional GBI office in Cleveland, said the Cornwell family's devotion to finding Kristi was unlike anything he'd seen in his more than 20 years as an investigator.''

Still an open investigation...
I do hope her family feels that the primary suspect did in fact, do the abduction.
There has to be some peace in knowing that Carringer is gone from this earth.
