At this time, it’s unknown if the body is that of Ebony Owens, the Edwards mother-of-two was killed last week and believed to be dumped in the Big Black River. After speaking with Ebony Owens’ husband, Michael Owens, authorities charged him with murder, arson, sexual battery of a minor, and sexual assault of a minor.
Ebony, 36, was originally reported missing on Wednesday, March 15 before her car was found later that day burnt up not far from the couple’s home. Investigators later found evidence connecting Michael, 36, to the disappearance and killing of Ebony.
This story will be updated as more details become available.
