The remains of a woman who went missing four years ago in Eastern Carolina were found.

Officials say the remains of 43-year-old Christine Boone were found March 5.

They were discovered near a home where Antwan Pittman lived in 2006.

Pittman is charged with killing Taraha Nicholson, one of six similar cases involving the death of women being investigated by authorities in Eastern Carolina.

According to law enforcement, Boone was last seen by a family member August 2006 in Rocky Mount and was reported missing in January 2007.

Boone's remains were found last week in a wooded area behind 98 Nasturtium Lane in Scotland Neck.

Officials say the home at that address is currently vacant, but they know Pittman lived there in 2006.

The Rocky Mount police department states "We want the public to know that while this case is complex and ongoing, law enforcement is working diligently to resolve this matter. Also, please know that Pittman is mentioned here due to him being in custody for a prior similar case in Edgecombe County and the fact of Boone's skeletal remains being found in close proximity to his known past residence. Pittman was arrested in September 2009 for death of Taraha Nicholson and is in the custody of the Edgecombe County Sheriff's Department."

They are asking anyone with information about Boone's disappearance or death to contact law enforcement.
