SALISBURY, N.C.—The body of a North Carolina teenager whose adoptive parents were convicted of tax fraud related to her 2011 disappearance was found this week, officials said Thursday.
The remains of Erica Parsons were discovered in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, according to Chesterfield Sheriff Jay Brooks. He said information from a person close to the case helped investigators find the body.
Testimony at the trial of Casey and Sandy Parsons unveiled a pattern of abusing Erica, who lived with the family in Rowan County from 2000 until she disappeared in 2011 at age 13. She wasn’t reported missing until 2013.
