GASTONIA, N.C. (AP) - Police have identified a burned body found in a North Carolina state park and are investigating the case as a homicide.
The Charlotte Observer reported Wednesday that the York County, S.C., Sheriff's Office said the body spotted on Sunday by a horseback rider was that of 30-year-old Randi Dean Saldana of Gastonia. Officials say the body was severely burned but are not saying how the victim died.
The body of another Gastonia woman was discovered three weeks ago 16 miles from where Saldana's body was found. Authorities have said 17-year-old Heather Marie Catterton was also a homicide victim but they won't say if the two cases are related.
