Scotland Neck Police Chief Joe Williams said he doesn’t believe skeletal remains discovered in Nash County Wednesday are those of a woman missing since February.

Authorities did call Williams that day but thus he has heard nothing back from them.

“I don’t think it’s my missing girl,” the chief said of 18-year-old Jalesa Reynolds.

Reynolds was last seen in Scotland Neck shortly before 12:30 p.m. on February 22 after logging out of one of her social networking accounts at the town’s library.

In March Judge Alma Hinton issued a gag order to protect the integrity of the case.

Williams would only confirm he is waiting to hear back from the governor’s office on a reward in the case.

Information released before the gag order shows a search of IP addresses led investigators to discover the woman used a computer at a house on Cemetery Road outside Scotland Neck. Police talked to the person at that house and continue to investigate that lead.

Investigation also shows she frequented the Scotland Neck library daily where she used Facebook and other social networking websites. After visiting the library she would go to the satellite community college where she worked on her graduate equivalency diploma. The police department seized the library computer and sent it to the State Bureau of Investigation lab where agents discovered she used a computer at the Cemetery Road house. That computer was also seized.

A $500 reward is being offered and anyone with information is encouraged to call the police department at 252-826-4112 or Halifax County Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.

Meanwhile, WRAL reported Wednesday the Nash County Sheriff's Office was investigating after two sets of skeletal remains were found in Nash County.

Two men riding four-wheelers came across the remains in a field off N.C. Highway 43 north of Red Oak on Tuesday night. Authorities are treating the case as a homicide investigation.

"At this time, we don't know if it's male, female, black, white or Hispanic," Nash County Sheriff Dick Jenkins said of the remains.

A team of anthropologists from East Carolina University assisted authorities in collecting the remains.

The remains, which appeared to have been out in the elements for several months, were sent to the Office of the State Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill to determine cause of death.

In all, the remains of eight women have been found over the past four years – seven in rural Edgecombe County and one in Halifax County. Two more women are missing.

Early evidence suggests the remains found Wednesday are not connected to those cases.

If you have any information about the remains that could help investigators call the Nash County Sheriff's Office at 252-459-1556.
