Report: Human Remains Suspected to Belong to UFC Fighter's Missing Stepdaughter

Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes tells the Montgomery Advertiser that police have "strong reason to believe" human remains discovered on Monday in Macon County, Alabama belong to missing teenager Aniah Blanchard, the stepdaughter of UFC fighter Walt Harris.

Blanchard, 19, was last seen in surveillance footage from an Auburn, Alabama convenience store on October 23rd. She was reported missing by her family after she did not come home that night.

Blanchard's car was discovered scraped and dented in Montgomery, Alabama two days after she was reported missing. Police suspected foul play “indicative of someone suffering a life-threatening injury” based on evidence inside the car.
