A woman whose remains were found Friday behind an abandoned house in Jenkins County had been burned before being buried in a shallow grave, said Jenkins County Sheriff Robert Oglesby. According to investigations so far, 27-year-old Ashley Lovett was reportedly found dead by family members “around October,” and they “just panicked” and decided to conceal the death, he said. The actual cause of death is still unknown.
