Oxendine was alive at the time and was interviewed by CBS North Carolina about the death of her friend, Jones. Several weeks later her body was also found.
Bennett’s body was found in a house. Jones’ body was in a trash can and Oxendine’s body was behind a house.
The sheriff's office posted a note from the mother of Christina Bennett, urging for the public to help in order to solve the cases.
"I am publicly requesting once again for the publics help assisting law enforcement with information relevant to these cases. If you have heard something, know something, or have seen something please relay this information to the proper authorities. A time frame would be of vital importance in determining when these girls were last seen, such as a date, time, and location, and who they were with. I reiterate, who they were with. No information is too small or trivial. Allow law enforcement [to] determine the importance of any or all information you can offer. All levels of law enforcement have worked relentlessly with distinction investigating these crimes, but still continue to need the communities help," said Nancee Bennett.
Nancee ended her post with a strong heartfelt plea:
"It's "Time" to take back your community. It's "Time" to pursue justice for our daughters lives that was taken too soon. It's "Time" to get those that have no regard for human life off your streets, out of your community. Its "Time" to act! Please Help!"
