“If I could give that duck a medal, I would,” Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Mark Walker said.,
Angela Lucille Wamsley, 46, and Mark Alan Barnes, 50, were both charged with first-degree murder, according to Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office online booking records.
Years of search warrants and state and federal assistance led nowhere. But instead of the web, a webbed animal helped deputies crack the case. Walker said they learned about a body when the residents at the former trailer were Wamsley and Barnes lived were chasing after their pet duck. “Apparently, the duck ran underneath the trailer ... and as they were chasing after their pet duck, they ran across the container that Nellie Sullivan was located in,” Walker toldWalker said the couple concealed Sullivan’s body and continued to collect her Social Security and retirement benefits while also continuing to fill her prescriptions, the television station reported.
“I would like to say that I’m never surprised anymore, but this case -- it was surprising,” Walker said.©2022 Cox Media Group
