JACKSONVILLE, N.C. — The father of a missing Fort Bragg soldier said Monday authorities told him the remains of a woman found in a brush fire near Camp Lejeune were those of his daughter.
In an e-mail statement provided to WRAL-TV in Raleigh, Jesse James, the father of Holley Wimunc, said his family had been told by authorities that Wimunc is dead.
Army 2nd Lt. Holley Wimunc, a nurse, has been missing since a fire was discovered Thursday at her apartment in Fayetteville.
"It is with profound sadness that our family just received the news from authorities that our beloved daughter Holley is dead," James, of Dubuque, Iowa, said in the statement. "Since last Thursday's shocking news about Holley's burned apartment and her missing person status, our family through the country has nonetheless been holding on to a thin thread of hope that she would be found alive.
"Today, that thread of hope broke as her body was discovered."
