According to a press release from February 28, 2024, Volusia Sheriff's Office detectives investigating the disappearance of a 16-year-old Ormand Beach girl almost 20 years ago discovered human remains this afternoon during the excavation of a suspected burial site. According to police, the remains are believed to be those of Autumn Lane McClure, a Mainland High School student who was last seen on May 10, 2004, when her boyfriend dropped her off at the Volusia Mall. Sheriff’s detectives continued to investigate the cold case in the nearly 20 years that followed, obtaining DNA from family members, re-interviewing friends and possible witnesses, and identifying a person of interest in 2021. The person of interest died in May 2022, but the investigation continued. The investigation led to a suspected burial site in the Ormond Beach area. Today, human remains were discovered during excavation of the site. Sheriff Mike Chitwood will provide a media briefing Thursday, February 29, 2024. Further information will be provided in that briefing and updated post.
