Naomi Irion Update: Body Of Missing Nevada Teen Found In Rural Gravesite, Authorities Say

The Nevada teenager who was allegedly abducted from a Walmart parking lot two weeks ago was found dead in a remote rural gravesite within the same state, authorities said Wednesday.

Naomi Irion, 18, disappeared outside a Walmart in Fernley, outside Reno, on March 12, Lyon County Sheriff's Office said, as per ABC News. Surveillance footage showed a man getting into the driver's seat of her car and driving in an unknown direction with the teen in the passenger seat.

Investigators reached the remote gravesite in Churchill County after receiving a tip linked to the disappearance of Irion, CNN reported, citing a joint press release by the Churchill County Sheriff's Office and the Lyon County Sheriff's Office.

"Their investigative actions led them to a possible gravesite, Washoe County Sheriff's Office Forensic Investigative Services team was contacted and responded to assist in processing the scene," the offices noted, according to the outlet.

An autopsy was performed at the Washoe County Medical Examiners Office and it was confirmed that the body belonged to the missing 18-year-old. The cause of her death hasn't been released to the public.

A suspect was arrested last Friday on suspicion of kidnapping Irion. Troy Driver, 41, of Fallon, Nevada, was charged with first-degree kidnapping and held in lieu of $750,000 bail since his first court appearance Wednesday, KOLO-TV reported.

Driver has been accused of kidnapping Irion "for the purpose of committing sexual assault and/or for the purpose of killing her," according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Prior to Driver's arrest, the Federal Bureau of Investigation offered a reward of up to $10,000 for any information that would lead to Irion's location. The Lyon County Sheriff's Office also released multiple photos and videos of the man who reportedly entered the teen's vehicle, in hopes of identifying him.

Driver's next hearing is scheduled for April 5, KOLO-TV reported.

"We would like to extend our sympathy and condolences to the Irion family and thank all the volunteers for their hard work in trying to find Naomi and bring closure to the family," the Churchill County Sheriff's Office noted in the statement Wednesday.
