The Iredell County Sheriff's Office confirmed Wednesday that a body found last week in Troutman was that of Bonnie Lou Irvine, 52, a Cornelius woman missing since late February.
Authorities Tuesday charged Bernard George Lamp, 51, of Troutman with murder and first-degree kidnapping in her death.
Lamp was arrested after deputies stopped him driving Irvine's 2001 Volvo on Friday. Authorities then found Irvine's body buried at Lamp's residence on Weathers Creek Road, said Capt. Darren Campbell.
Campbell said Irvine had been dead since the end of last month. She disappeared in late February, according to Cornelius police.
Lamp is being held at the Iredell County jail without bond and is scheduled to appear in court April 8.
