Missing person search ends with discovery

The body of a woman, fitting the description of a missing Mountain Rest woman, was found yesterday afternoon about two miles from her home near the Ross Mountain Road. Coroner Karl Addis said the preliminary scene investigation suggests that Mandy Nicole Brewer died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. An autopsy has been ordered. The Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate. The 28-year old Brewer had been last seen Saturday at her home on Trillium Drive and was reported missing the following day.
