[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Officials have found the body of Audreona Barnes months after the 19-year-old went missing.
According to WJW, the Ohio teenager vanished on July 30, 2021 after sending an odd text. The months-long investigation that followed came up dry — that is, until police were called to a Cleveland apartment on Thursday after a cleaner came across Barnes’ remains.
The apartment’s most recent tenant was Barnes’ boyfriend Bennie Washington, who had reportedly been evicted on March 11.
