Police say a pet duck helped lead to the discovery of a murder victim that had been missing for more than two years. The victim, Nellie Sullivan, had disappeared under 'suspicious circumstances' in 2020. But earlier this month, Sullivan's body was found buried underneath a trailer in Candler, NC - by someone chasing after their pet duck.
Authorities say Sullivan, who was in her 90's, was murdered by Mark Barnes and her granddaughter Angela Wamsley, so they could steal her social security and retirement benefits. Both Wamsley and Barnes are already serving jail sentences. One officer said "If I could give that duck a medal, I would".
