Mystery surrounds missing man's remains in a North Carolina quarry, police say

Remains found in a North Carolina quarry are those of a man reported missing by his family in January 2020, and the circumstances of his death remain a mystery, police said Friday. Reidsville police classified Ronald Deon Washington’s death as a homicide, a classification that applies to any explained death, not just killings. Investigators recovered the remains from Ruffin Rock Quarry in the 8300 block of U.S. 29 Business in April and June. The discoveries followed a tip to the Reidsville Police Department of “possible human remains of a missing person in the water,” according to the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office. Reidsville is 23 miles northeast of Greensboro. North Carolina State Crime Laboratory identified Washington through forensic analysis, police said. “Today, Mr. Washington’s family finally has an answer to a question they’ve carried for more than six years,” Reidsville Police Chief Ray Gibson said in a statement Friday. “I hope it provides a measure of peace and closure after years of uncertainty. We remain committed to seeking answers and pursuing every available lead as this investigation continues.” Reidsville police are investigating Washington’s death with the sheriff’s office and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. “Investigators believe there are people
