DETROIT (AP) — The bodies of two women discovered buried in woods on the west side of Detroit are likely the remains of two housemates who witnesses claim were forced into a car trunk at gunpoint nearly a month ago, police said.
Abreeya Brown, 18, and Ashley Conaway, 21, were abducted Feb. 28 by two armed men outside their home in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck, according to Brown’s stepfather. Charles McGinnis told police he exchanged gunfire with the captors before they drove away. Relatives said one of the women was able to send text messages for a short time from inside the trunk, but that neither had been heard from since.
