Skeletal Remains Found

{Pliny, West Virginia}...Putnam County Sheriff's Deputies and other law enforcement are investigating after a Division of Highways worker found a dismembered limb Wednesday afternoon along Route 35 near the Mason-Putnam County line. Authorities say they believe it may be the remains of Carol Rhim, an Institute woman who was killed and dismembered in January. Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputies say 54 year old Nathaniel Lawton fatally shot himself when police went to confront him about the murder. Investigators began the search after they found some of her remains in the trunk of her boyfriend's, Nathaniel Lawton, car shortly after he shot and killed himself. The search for the remaining body parts of Rhim was called off in late January. Lawton had no criminal record and was a longtime employee of the postal service.
