MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) -- Police have suspended the search for a 30-year-old missing Mount Pleasant woman after a body was found not far from where the woman's burning SUV was discovered.

Investigators have not identified the remains found Friday afternoon in the Frances Marion National Forest.

Dara Lee Watson was last seen Feb. 6 and her charred vehicle was found the next day. Her fiance committed suicide just hours after she was reported missing, but didn't leave a note. Officials say someone who gave him a ride from the woods near where the SUV was burned saw him walking with a shovel
