Overview
- Caroline County Sheriff Scott Moser confirmed to CBS 6 Crime Insider that four people are in custody in connection with two linked deaths in the county.
- Deputies recovered 18-year-old Jayden McComber’s remains from Byrd’s Mill Pond near Passing Road at the Caroline County line, and investigators say evidence from that scene connects to a separate killing nearby.
- Days before McComber was found, a property owner discovered another body off Bagby Road, and officials later determined the victim was a woman who has not yet been identified.
- The sheriff’s office said the killer or killers took “sick and deliberate” steps that hinder identification of the woman, and investigators are working McComber’s case as a homicide.
- Authorities asked anyone with information to contact the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office or Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers, and Hopewell schools arranged grief counseling for students who knew McComber.
