The family of a woman missing since 2018 said her bones were found near an Upstate motel.
Falon Michelle Cooksey, a mother of two, went missing on June 11, 2018, according to her cousin Jamie Cooksey.
Jamie said Falon had been living with her mother in Lawndale, North Carolina, but was last seen near the Gaffney Inn in Cherokee County.
Authorities told the family that Falon's bones were found in the woods near the motel.
“She was going through a tough time, but she was with some friends and had been in Blacksburg," Jamie Cooksey said.
Jamie said Falon went to Gaffney with some friends who said she just walked away from the motel and they didn't know where she went.
“For almost three years, it was 'where is she? Is she OK? Is she not? Just, where is she?'" Jamie Cooksey said. "Now that we know where she is, it’s 'what happened?' That’s what we want answered the most. 'Was it an accident? Was it not an accident? Did someone do this to her?' Those are the questions now her family wants answered.”
