A body found in Georgia was identified as a North Carolina resident who vanished in January, officials say.
 
KC Lee Johnson’s remains were found Jan 18 on the banks of the Savannah River, according to an April 4 Wilmington Police Department news release. North Carolina police worked with Georgia officials to identify her.
 
Police said Johnson, 27, had been reported missing on Saturday, Jan 14 after last being seen on Friday, Jan 13 in Wilmington. Investigators determined that she was killed Jan 13, the department said.
 
William Haven Hicks, 26, was charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and kidnapping after Johnson’s death, according to Wilmington police. He and Johnson met on social media prior to her death.
 
Loved ones shared tributes for Johnson on social media.
 
“I can’t sleep.. this wasn’t supposed to happen, you didn’t deserve this,” one person wrote on Facebook. “You ARE and always will be a beautiful person, inside and out. You deserved nothing but good things.. you will be missed greatly by so many. I love you.”
 
“No body deserves any of this especially KC. The most caring loving giving person I have ever met,” another post read.
