Human remains found where mother, 2 kids, were reported missing

CHARLOTTE — Police were in the middle of investigating the Orchard Trace apartments off North Tryon Street when officers discovered human remains.

The complex in northeast Charlotte is where a mother and her two children were reported missing last week, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

“Got a lady missing with her kids and I pray to God that it’s not her and her kids’ remains that they found in that house,” said a neighbor.

Police are investigating a possible connection.

“Everything is a possibility at this point,” said Maj. Torri Tillis.

Human remains found where mother, 2 kids, were reported missing CMPD officers discovered human remains at the Orchard Trace apartments on March 15, 2024.

It is uncertain whether the remains belong to one man or woman, or if they are from a single individual or multiple people.

Investigators were focused on a silver Chevy Camaro parked outside a second-floor apartment they were entering and exiting, according to Glenn Counts of Channel 9. The Camaro that was there earlier this week was towed away, Counts said.

CMPD did not release any more information.

“It’s been hard, scary like to walk up the street because you never know what might happen in the blink of an eye,” the neighbor said. “And they need to do something about this project.”
