A pet duck helped find the body of a missing woman with dementia. Her granddaughter has been charged.

Angela Wamsley and Mark Barnes are charged with murdering Wamsley's grandmother, Nellie Sullivan. Sullivan, in her 90's, was determined to be missing in 2020, according to Buncombe County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Mark Walker, with the Major Case Unit.

Walker said Wamsley and Barnes, who were already in jail, were previously charged, in mid-December 2020, with concealing a death in connection to the case, but investigators didn't find Sullivan's body until mid-April of 2022. According to Walker, years of search warrants and state and federal assistance lead nowhere."Mark [Barnes] actually sent us on a wild goose chase which resulted in us digging for several days in a site that he knew she was not located at," Walker said.

"Her remains have been sent to an anthropologist for further examination just so we can try to nail down exactly how long she's been deceased," Walker added."We do know it was multiple years." "I would like to say that I'm never surprised anymore, but this case -- it was surprising," Walker said.Police investigating Delphi murders search for anyone who talked to man using anthony_shots profile
