Dorchester County authorities told local media outlets that the body of Ashley Nicole Pegram, of Summerville, was found Saturday in some woods near Harleyville.

Thirty-year-old Edward Bonilla had been arrested last week and charged with her murder. He is being held without bond.

Sheriff's Capt. Tony Phinney said investigators found blood in the trunk of Bonilla's car that was consistent with Pegram's DNA profile.
