WADESBORO — Noticing a strange odor on the block, neighbors conducted their own investigation and discovered a dead body on Cox Road Friday, May 2. Following the discovery, neighbors called the Anson County Sheriff’s Office to take over the case at approximately 9 a.m. Friday morning.
At the scene, ACSO deputies, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner began processing the scene.
