COLUMBUS (AP) — The body of a Richland County woman who went missing late last month after telling relatives that she was going to see her ex-boyfriend has been found in the trunk of her car in Galloway.
The Richland County Sheriff’s Office says the vehicle belonging to 33-year-old Melinda Kay Davis, of Shelby, was found Sunday in the western Franklin County suburb area after authorities received a tip.
A cause of death hasn’t been released.
Davis was last seen Feb. 25, and authorities executed a search warrant the next day at the Mansfield apartment of her former boyfriend, John Henry Mack Jr.
Mack, 43, was arrested several days later on a kidnapping charge and has pleaded not guilty..
