"We don't know for sure if it's Hania," the missing teen's aunt, Emy Moscoso, told ABC11 on Tuesday night. "We hope it's not her, and that she's still alive."

Robeson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Shanita Wooten said on social media that she and Lumberton Junior High School Principal Dr. SaVon Maultsby "received word of the potentially tragic conclusion to the search by Sergeant Pete Locklear of the Lumberton Police Department. Upon receiving full confirmation, the district will provide increased support staff that will be made available for all students and staff at Lumberton Junior High School. This is an unfortunate end to an extensive search and we are committed to supporting all students and staff as they cope with the heartbreaking tragedy.

"On behalf of PSRC district leaders, administrators, staff and students, we extend our sincerest condolences to Hania's family, friends, and community. This is a difficult time for our entire district and we are mourning this loss and are still processing this terrible tragedy. We are keeping Hania in our thoughts and will continue to pray for her family and each other as the investigation continues."

FBI finds body in Robeson County while searching for Hania Aguilar
There is no time frame for when a positive identification will be made.

To date, no law enforcement agency has reported making any arrests or identifying any suspects in the abduction of Hania Aguilar.

The body was found Tuesday on one of the roads where the FBI had previously asked the public for surveillance video to help piece together information about the teen's disappearance.

No arrest or confession in 13-year-old Hania Aguilar's kidnapping
One man's mugshot and a headline that reads "SOURCE: Man accused of kidnapping 13-year-old Hania Aguilar confesses, been in jail since Nov. 13" set off a social media firestorm Tuesday morning.

THENCBEAT.com first reported the now-viral story. The article cites unnamed sources saying 34-year-old Michael Ray McLellan is the man responsible for the kidnapping of 13-year-old Hania Aguilar in early November.

Authorities flatly denied that report.

"No arrests have been made and certainly no confession," said Shelley Lynch Public Affairs Specialist for the FBI Charlotte Division.

Lynch reiterated in an email that if this story were true, media outlets "would hear it" from Lynch.

"We believe we have found the body of 13-year-old Hania Aguilar," Lumberton Police Chief Michael McNeill said during a press conference. "But the final confirmation will be done by dental comparisons."

Body Found in Robeson County Preliminarily Identified as Missing Lumberton Teen

The Lumberton Police Department and the FBI received notification late this afternoon from the North Carolina Medical Examiner’s Office that a body found yesterday is believed to be Hania Aguilar. A final confirmation will be done with an official dental record comparison.

“We are absolutely devastated. I wish we had a different outcome for Hania’s family, for the community, and for the hundreds of law enforcement officers and searchers who put everything they had into finding her alive,” said Lumberton Police Chief Michael McNeill.

FBI, Lumberton Police Department, SBI, and Robeson County Sheriff’s Office investigators located the body off Wire Grass Road in Robeson County around 4:45 p.m. on November 27. Investigative leads prompted the investigators to search that area.

“We believe we found Hania, but our work is far from over. We have to find out how she died and who did this to her. We have to bring the person responsible to justice,” said FBI Supervisory Resident Agent Andy de la Rocha.

We need the public’s help to determine when and how the body was placed on Wire Grass Road in Robeson County. If you have surveillance cameras near Wire Grass Road, call the tip line at 910-272-5871.

Hania was kidnapped outside her home at the Rosewood Mobile Home Park located at 3525 E. Elizabethtown Road in Lumberton, North Carolina, on November 5, 2018, just before 7:00 a.m. The stolen SUV was found before 8:00 a.m., Thursday morning off Quincey Drive in Lumberton, North Carolina.

Body found in North Carolina appears to be missing 13-year-old girl; suspect sought
Lumberton Police Chief Michael McNeill said at a news conference that state crime lab tests indicate the body found late Tuesday is Hania. Though a final determination will be made with dental records, investigators suspect the body is hers.

“This is the outcome that we all feared,” he said. “We did not want to hear this. We wanted to bring Hania back home and bring her back home alive to our community. It hurts.”

He pledged to bring whoever is responsible to justice. Investigators said they don’t have a suspect or person of interest.

The chief said the body was found in water in Robeson County about 10 miles south of the mobile home park where she was kidnapped.

Authorities wouldn’t elaborate on whether the body was concealed but said it was not visible from the road or obvious to people passing by. Investigators spent Wednesday combing the area in daylight after finding the body the previous night.

The cause of death wasn’t released, pending an autopsy. Investigators would not describe the condition of the body. An FBI official said he did not have any information as to whether Hania was killed where she was found or elsewhere.
