LOVINGSTON — Alexis Murphy has finally been found. ... Authorities on Wednesday announced the remains of Murphy, who went missing seven years ago at age 17, were found in Nelson County in December.
Murphy went missing Aug. 3, 2013 after visiting a gas station in Lovingston. Randy Allen Taylor, 55, was found guilty of murder and abduction in the disappearance of Murphy in May 2014; he's serving two life sentences.
"We were finally able to bring Alexis home," Nelson County Sheriff David Hill said Wednesday. "It just means the world to us."
The remains were located Dec. 3 on private property near Stagebridge Road, along U.S. 29 in Lovingston. The Nelson County Sheriff's Office received positive identification of the remains as Murphy's on Feb. 5, the sheriff's office said on social media on Wednesday afternoon.
Stagebridge Road intersects with U.S. 29 roughly three and a half miles from the Lovingston gas station where she went missing.
