District attorney confirms discovery of human remains suspected to belong to Aniah Blanchard

CBS 42 reports that the ‘probable remains’ of Aniah Blanchard, 19, have been discovered in Macon County, AL. That outlet quoted Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes, who said that “I can confirm that human remains have been found and we have good reason to suspect they are that of Aniah Blanchard.”

Blanchard, who is from Homewood, AL and whose stepfather is UFC heavyweight Walt Harris, was reported missing on October 24th. Her damaged vehicle was discovered on the 25th at an apartment complex in Montgomery, AL.

In court documents authorities stated that blood evidence recovered from inside the vehicle suggested a “life-threatening” injury had been suffered there.
