Welcome to Websleuths @no7! Thanks for starting the thread. You seem to have found a rare trifecta: unidentified remains, also a missing person, and the suspects are already under arrest.

I did a screen capture from the press conference video showing the unknown victim. Hopefully this can be solved quickly.

A couple of possibilities from NamUs

Vicki Lee Vanhorn
From Arkansas, last seen July 23 in Florida, maybe on her way back home?
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Chyann Jullianna Busche
Missing July 2 from Greensboro NC
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

She doesn't appear to be listed in Namus yet.

Thanks! Also, those are some great possibilities!
I see that Chyann has connections to Charlotte. She was arrested for robbery at a motel 13 minutes from where the victim in this case was picked up.

Re: Chyann. I think I found her Facebook where she appears currently active and posting pictures, so probably not her.

Yeh, her circumstances at NamUs seemed kind of odd. Not many 22 year olds go missing by sneaking out their bedroom window.

I'm confused. If they believe she was picked up in August, why do they think she went missing in July?

 

[no7]

Same question here! They're not giving up any more information right now.

Theory: There are two suspects and one tipster with knowledge. I'm wondering if she was kidnapped in July for sex trafficking, picked up by suspects for "service," they killed her, and someone was angry about it and tipped police.

Fact: The Sugar Creek/I-85 area she was picked up from is known for sex work:

Combating crime near Sugar Creek and I-85 the hotel corridor

That woman does NOT look like she's 22 years old....more like 62. Her legs are extremely thin, so thin that the condition appears pathological, some sort of health problem. She might have been a long-term methamphetamine addict.

Possible. One of the suspects might have flipped on the other(s). LE might have talked to people who knew her in August who knew when she arrived in the area.

It's hard to see a lot in the clip, but she just looks so incredibly thin. She also appears to me to be quite young. Law enforcement must have info that is leading them with the various info they are providing - where she was picked up, that she likely went missing in July 2021. The area she was picked up is of course a major interstate; she really could be from anywhere.

Huntersville Police to provide update after human remains discovered, man charged with murder

“Investigators found the remains along the 1200 block of Comanche Road shortly after. Christopher Nailor was charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and concealing a death.

Police confirmed detectives have also identified a second suspect in the case. The suspect was already in custody in another state on unrelated charges at the start of the investigation.”

 

[cvaldez1975]

there has to be a reason they think shes been missing since july. someone said something that lead them to believe this.

 

[no7]

Here is another screen grab of the video which shows someone walking several feet in front of her. It's interesting that she appears to be following willingly. So either knew them or was being paid?
