Pecan farm
During his initial confession, Ryan Duke admitted that the teacher's remains had been burned to ash at Hudson's Pecan Orchard in Ben Hill County. He was also able to lead investigators to the exact location.
The entrance to the farm is situated on Bowens Mill Highway, roughly 1.5 miles north of Fitzgerald.
When a recovery team inspected the property, they discovered charred skull fragments, spinal vertebrae, a tooth, and other small bones belonging to a toe, an elbow, and a finger.
During Ryan's murder trial, forensic anthropologist Dr. Alice Gooding testified that the dark coloring, texture, and weight of the bones indicated that they had been burned. She also stated that the fragments belonged to an adult human. However, DNA extraction was impossible due to their condition.
