Her remains were ultimately found in "a remote, brush-covered area of Thomas County, Georgia, known locally as a plantation" on April 5, after digital evidence led investigators to the area.

"Multiple searches" of the area in "early 2024" yielded no findings until it underwent a "prescribed burn that cleared heavy brush," police said in their statement.

Wiley became the focus of the investigation in March 2024, after police identified "more inconsistencies" in his statements and "new information about his relationship with Lori" emerged.

This case reminds me of the more recent disappearance of Keimani Latigue. She was a 13 year old also found deceased and her dad arrested in her death as well. It's sad that Lori couldn't be brought home as quickly as Keimani was, but at least both girls' remains are now found and they can be laid to rest, forever free of the harm they experienced here on earth. Rest in peace, Lori, and Keimani, and all the others. I hate cases like this. May justice be swift for these victims.
