The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office has identified the body of a young female discovered near NC Highway 150 in Boger City on Sunday morning, November 10, 2024.
Authorities confirmed the victim as 18-year-old Sydney Bisson, a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina. The investigation has now shifted to locating Gregory Clifford Houser, 34, of Bessemer City, who is wanted in connection with the case. Detectives have obtained a felony warrant for Houser on charges of Concealing and Failing to Report a Death.
Houser, who has pending charges across multiple counties, including Catawba, Mecklenburg, Lincoln, and Gaston, was previously under pre-trial electronic monitoring as mandated by Gaston County Court Services.
