Human remains identified as Jordan Wishon, a 30-year-old mother, were discovered buried at a residence on Pebblestone Lane in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. The discovery was made by deputies executing a search warrant on Friday, October 27th, leading investigators to reclassify the missing person case as a murder investigation.
Jaydakis Kashaune Hamilton, 25, of Rutherfordton, has been charged with first-degree murder in Wishon's death. According to law enforcement records, Hamilton was already in custody in Polk County on an unrelated charge, arrested previously for alleged vehicle theft. He also faced charges from the North Carolina State Highway Patrol for reckless driving and resisting arrest.
Wishon was reported missing by the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office. Her family has expressed their grief and distress. A sister, Casandra Toney, posted on social media, stating, "I’m gonna miss you so much. This is unfair. You did not deserve this." Wishon is survived by her daughter, fiancé, and grandparents.
The investigation into Wishon's death is ongoing.
