2 charged after discovery of missing man's remains at Archdale home

Thomas 'TK' Burton's remains were identified after being missing for two months.

RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. — A second man has been charged in relation to a missing Winston-Salem man's remains found months later, according to the Randolph County Sheriff's Office.

Caelob Teal, 26, of Greensboro, was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact on Oct. 31.

Deputies charged also Jaekob Shane Hill, 29, with the first-degree murder of Thomas 'TK' Burton as well as felony conceal/failure to report a death.

Burton was reported missing on July 29. 

After being missing for two months, Burton was later identified after human remains were found at the home of 31-year-old Beau Benjamin Martin on Sept. 16, according to court documents. 

Randolph County deputies went to Martin's home on Rob Cruthis Road in Archdale for assistance in an investigation into a missing person. They said they found remains at the property, but they weren't identified at the time.

Martin was taken into custody and was charged with felony failure to report/conceal death after the remains were found. He was given a $15,000 bond. 

Martin's arrest eventually led investigators to identify the remains as those belonging to TK Burton.
