The corpse of Naomi Irion, who was reported missing almost two weeks ago, has been discovered, according to police.

According to a news statement, detectives headed to a rural region of Churchill County on Tuesday after getting a tip related to the woman’s disappearance.

“Their investigation operations led them to a suspected cemetery, and Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Forensic Investigative Services was notified and responded to help in processing the scene,” the Churchill County Sheriff’s Office and the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office stated.

Her remains were discovered around 150 miles from where she went missing in Fernley.

“At this point, no additional information can be disclosed because this is currently an ongoing and active investigation,” police stated.

A corpse was discovered and sent to the Washoe County Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy. The following day, it was determined to be the missing 18-year-old.

“We would like to extend our sympathy and condolences to the Irion family and thank all the volunteers for their hard work in trying to find Naomi and bring closure to the family,” said the sheriff’s office.

“The Churchill County Sheriff’s Office and the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office will continue to work closely on these cases.”

SUSPECT ARRESTED

On March 25, Troy Driver, 41, was arrested in connection with her disappearance.

Surveillance footage shows Driver lingering around her car before approaching her, according to authorities.

It’s unclear how they linked Driver to the kidnapping; however, police claimed Driver’s truck was confiscated and brought into evidence.

Driver is being jailed on a kidnapping charge, according to the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office. A pickup truck that may have been engaged in the incident has also been seized, according to police.

A court ordered bond at $750,000 for him.

If Driver posts bail, Judge Lori Matheus stated that he would not be freed until a GPS tracking system is installed.

He will also be asked to submit to daily check-ins with police enforcement as well as random drug and alcohol testing.

Prosecutors stated in court documents filed Wednesday morning that Driver “did abduct Naomi Irion and did hold or detain her for the intention of committing sexual assault and/or murdering her.”

Driver has a court appearance scheduled for next Tuesday, as well as a preliminary hearing on April 12 to determine if he will be prosecuted in state court.

He might face life in jail if convicted.

Driver, a convicted felon, had served 12 years in prison in California for his participation in the murder of a methamphetamine dealer.

He was convicted of accessory to murder after the fact in 1997 in connection with the death of 19-year-old Paul Steve Rodriguez, according to documents.

In addition, he was charged with second-degree robbery and burglary.

At the time of the murder, Driver was 17 years old. Rodriguez was shot in the head by his 17-year-old girlfriend, Alissa Marie More.

river, and Carl Herbert Dulinsky, 19, assisted Moore in disposing of Rodriguez’s remains by concealing his burned-out truck in the woods.

Rodriguez’s remains were recovered two weeks later, and the group was apprehended.

Driver was sentenced to 15 years in state prison but spent just 12 of them. He eventually relocated to Nevada, first to Elko County, then to Lyon County, where he works in construction.
