CHARLOTTE, N.C.  —  The North Carolina Department of Insurance says a body found in a wooded area south of Charlotte is a missing investigator believed killed on the job.

Authorities say 44-year-old Sallie Rohrbach was killed by the owner of an insurance agency she was sent to audit.

Department spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson confirmed her identity Tuesday. The body was found earlier in the day near Fort Mill, S.C.

Prosecutors have charged insurance agency owner Michael Howell of Indian Trail with first-degree murder in Rohrbach's death. He made an initial court appearance Tuesday.
