A Florida man has been arrested after mutilated remains found in a Brevard County forest area were identified as his missing girlfriend, according to a shocking press release over the weekend. Nancy Howery, 44 had been reported missing back on February 18 after her ex-husband reported she had failed to pick up their children from school — and had not been seen for an additional three days afterward.
Police found she had last been seen on February 15 at a gun club in Palm Bay. She had been spending time with a friend, who claimed she was scheduled to meet up with her boyfriend later.
The missing persons investigation took a dark turn when Howery’s abandoned Honda Odyssey was found on the side of the road. Police interviewed Nancy’s boyfriend, Daniel Stearns, 32, twice during the investigation.
