A tragic update in Randolph County this morning authorities say missing teen Kayla Huff has been found dead.
The sheriff’s office confirmed the discovery early Thursday, extending condolences to her family and calling the case deeply impactful to the community.
Sixteen-year-old Huff was last seen around 10:20 a.m. on May 6.
Three people are now charged in connection to the disappearance of a Randolph County teenager Kayla Huff.
Prosecutors say 20-year-old Alayna Mason, 23-year-old Christopher Hull, and 19-year-old Hunter Ames face first-degree kidnapping charges tied to the May 6 disappearance of 16-year-old Huff.
Court documents allege the suspects kidnapped Huff, placed them in a car trunk, and later shot them at the Rudolf Bennitt Conservation Area.
Investigators say two suspects carried out the abduction, while others assisted, including providing a firearm allegedly used in the case.
Investigators say statements from witnesses and surveillance video support those claims.
A 17-year-old was also arrested in connection to Huff’s disappearance.
The Randolph County Juvenile Office has declined to provide any information about the 17-year-old’s case.
The investigation remains ongoing.
