60 Year Old Female Killed on NC 87

 

The body of a 60 year old female was discovered about 1:45 AM Monday on NC 87 about 18 miles east of Elizabethtown.

 

The body was run over by at least two vehicles and maybe more.  An auto and an 18 wheeler stopped.  According to Bladen County Coroner Hubert Kinlaw, Zellas L. Allen may have been the victim of a hit and run prior to being struck by the two vehicles that stopped and called 911.  The body was badly mangled.  An autopsy will be performed to confirm identity. 

 

Kinlaw said she was last seen Sunday afternoon by her parents.  The clothing she was wearing was confirmed as like that her parents identified when she visited them.  They told investigators it was not unusual for their daughter to take a walk at night.

 

The Coroner said it was 28 degrees according to his auto when he arrived on the scene.  She had not been reported missing.

 

Kinlaw has confirmed pins in her wrist from an injury over 10 years ago, by using ex-rays.

 

The investigation is ongoing by the Bladen County Sheriffs Department, SBI and the Coroner.
