WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Human remains discovered at home are related to a missing Winston-Salem father’s death, court documents reveal.
An arrest warrant from Randolph County revealed Beau Benjamin Martin, 31, was arrested last Monday, and is charged with concealing and failing to report the death of Thomas “TK” Burton Jr.
Burton was reported missing in Randolph County after his wife last saw her husband with a long-time friend at a Citgo gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Winston-Salem on July 29. That was the same day Burton was reported missing. Court documents also revealed the offense happened on the same day Burton was last seen.
The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office said they discovered human remains last week in a house while responding to Rob Cruthis Road in Archdale to assist in a missing person’s investigation at the request of the Winston-Salem Police Department. The human remains found were sent to the Chief Medical Examiner’s office in Raleigh. However, law enforcement agencies haven’t officially identified the victim at this time but are still awaiting the completion of the investigation by the state medical examiner’s office, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office.
Martin was placed in the Randolph County Detention Center…
