Remains Recovered
Search warrants released at a press conference held by Sheriff Van Duncan Friday afternoon reveal murder suspect Robert Jason Owens, 36, admitted storing and destroying the bodies of J.T. and Cristie Codd.
The warrants also show the bodies were at Owens' home.
Warrants allege Owens admitted hitting J.T. Codd with a pickup truck. There was no indication of how Cristie Codd was killed.
However, according to Duncan, human remains were recovered near a wood stove. They were sent for forensic analysis.
On Tuesday, Buncombe Sheriff's Office investigators charged Owens with killing J.T. Codd, 45, and Cristie Schoen Codd, 38, and the couple's unborn child.
In addition, Owens was charged with breaking and entering and larceny, accused of breaking into the Codds' home on Sunday and stealing a laptop, jewelry and a Glock handgun with a combined value of $1,500, according to warrants.
The warrants allege that Owens was seen putting garbage bags in a dumpster Sunday evening. Detectives were able to recover the bags and found items belonging to Cristie Codd. At the press conference, Duncan said this is where her identification was found.

----------------------------------
Seems Owens burned the couple's bodies -- piece of shit.
I'm glad LE has a confession and hopefully they can get DNA from the remains to quickly confirm it's the Codds and leave no room for Owens to recant or otherwise wiggle out of his admission.
Now, I really hope that Owens gives up the location of Zebb Quinn's remains so his family can have some closure. Owens is gonna do life or be put to death for the Codd murders anyway.
