Previously, 22-year-old Asia Brown and her 2-year-old son Ashton Brown were reported missing on Feb. 22, 2015, after Asia did not go to her job on Feb. 21, 2015, and Feb. 22, 2015.

DNA results later confirmed that the remains in the car belonged to Asia and Ashton.

Investigators later learned that Asia purchased a 2005 Buick Lacrosse and registered the car in her name on Feb. 20, 2015, at the DMV office in High Point at 1:30 p.m. Asia was last seen at an AutoZone at 3033 Randleman Road at 3:20 p.m. that same day. However, Ashton was not seen with her in the store.

The burned car that Asia and Ashton’s remains were found in was the very same Buick Lacrosse.
