While trying to find next of kin for Wentz, authorities say they discovered Elloise D. Wentz’s body at the same location. They found her body in a running freezer in the back part of the house hidden by furniture.
The preliminary investigation revealed no cause of death for Ms. Wentz. Her body was transported to Chapel Hill for an autopsy.
No signs of foul play have been determined by preliminary autopsy results.
Investigation into the incident is ongoing.
