Who died and how it happened remains a mystery, Reidsville police said in a June 2 news release.
The latest discovery was made Monday, when Reidsville police partnered with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, N.C. State Bureau of Investigation and Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office to search the Ruffin Quarry, officials said. The site is located on U.S. 29 Business, just outside the Reidsville city limits.
“The remains will be submitted to the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for further examination and analysis,” police said.

“Based on the evidence collected on June 1, 2026, and April 8, 2026, authorities believe the remains recovered during both operations belong to the same individual. The identity of the deceased has not yet been determined.”
It may take six months to get an identification, “due to the complexity of the identification process,” police said.
The quarry came under scrutiny in April after a tip to Reidsville police reported “possible human remains of a missing person in the water,” the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office said.
