Remains of soldier missing two years found, suspect charged

FAYETTEVILLE, NC (WTVD) — Fayetteville police say that after a two-year investigation, the remains of missing soldier Kelli Bordeaux have been found and a person has been charged.

Bordeaux’s remains were located one mile north of Interstate 295 on River Road with the assistance of the suspect. Pictures from Chopper 11 HD showed crime scene investigators removing evidence from a wooded area.

Police identified their suspect as 27-year-old Nicholas Holbert – who has long been a person of interest in the case. In an exclusive interview with ABC11 in 2012 – just days after Bordeaux went missing – Holbert said he met Bordeaux at Fayetteville night spot Froggy Bottoms on April 14, 2012 and drove her home that night, he denied having anything to do with her disappearance.
