The remains of a missing woman were discovered inside a storage unit near Minneapolis last week, two years after her disappearance, officials said.
The death of Fanta Xayavong, a 33-year-old from Lakeville, Minnesota, was ruled a homicide and linked to Joseph Jorgenson, with whom Xayavong was previously in an abusive relationship, according to the St. Paul Police Department. Jorgenson has for months been the subject of another police investigation into the disappearance of 33-year-old Manijeh "Mani" Starren and he was recently charged in her killing, the city of St. Paul said in a news release, citing authorities. Jorgenson was charged last week with second-degree murder in connection with Starren's death, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
Authorities found Starren's body last month dismembered in a storage unit in Woodbury, a different Minneapolis suburb, according to CBS Minnesota. Xayavong's body was found Thursday in a Coon Rapids storage unit.
