2A THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31,2018 Missing skull located on shore in New Hope BY PETER WILLIAMS For the Chowan Herald A resident in New Hope discovered a human skull Saturday on the shore near Web Street, Perquimans County Sheriff Shelby White said Tuesday. Sheriff Shelby White said the location is at the very end of New Hope where it meets the Albemarle Sound. The skull was sent to the medical examiners office in Greenville. There are two boaters who have been missing in waters in the area. It’s also possible the skull could be long to 26-year-old Kelvin Singleton. He had escaped from lawmen in Edentqn and his headless body was found April 7, 2017 in a remote Bertie County field. Chowan County Sheriff Dwayne Goodwin said Sin gleton was not killed where the body was found. His body was identified by his fingerprints. His head was not located. White does not believe the head belongs to Karen Bosta, a 39-year-old Perqui mans County woman who has been missing. At the same time depu ties were responding to the case of the skull, they were called to a shooting in Snug Harbor. Travonte Madison, 23, suffered serious injuries from gunshot wounds at his home on Chestnut Street. White said he was airlifted to a hospital, but would not say which one. He believes that robbery may have been a motive. White said the sheriff’s office has a “person of in terest” that may have been involved. Peter Williams is news editor for the Perquimans Weekly.

Sumner ruled there were aggravating factors in the homicide case against Wissink, who is charged with the murder of Sgt. Meggan Callahan. Sgt. Callahan was mur dered brutally in an attack at Bertie Correctional In stitute last April. Wissink reportedly attacked Sgt. Callahan when she was at tempting to put out a fire. Wissink was immedi ately taken into custody, and was later charged with murder following an in vestigation by the Windsor Police Department and the State Bureau of Investiga tion. On Jan. 22, District At torney Valerie Asbell ap peared at a hearing in Ber tie County Superior Court, and informed the court she was seeking the death pen alty in Wissink’s case. She officially filed a motion to declare it a capital murder case. Asbell appeared with Assistant District Attorney Lisa Coltrain representing the state of North Caro lina while attorney Ernest “Buddy” Conner represent ed Wissink. The District Attorney told the judge the state had at least one aggravating factor to proceed with the case as capital murder. Judge Sumner heard from both sides before de claring the case capital. The judge asked the Cap ital Defender’s Office to se cure a second attorney for Wissink. Thadd White is editor of the Bertie Ledger-Ad vance.
