A pet duck is getting thanks for helping Buncombe County Detectives solve the case of a grandmother who vanished without a trace two years ago. According to a Facebook post from the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office, Nellie Sullivan’s body was found earlier this month by law enforcement, after a pet duck led them to human remains in a container underneath a trailer on Beady Eyed Lane. Mark Barnes and Angela Wamsley, Sullivan’s granddaughter, were charged with first-degree murder, according to the Facebook post, which noted the couple continued to collect Sullivan’s Social Security and retirement benefits while also filling her prescriptions.
