🔥🕯️ EDGECOMBE COUNTY: THE SEVEN BRIDGES KILLER — WHO KILLED THESE TEN WOMEN IN NORTH CAROLINA? 🕯️🔥

📍 Edgecombe & Halifax Counties, North Carolina | 2005–2010

🕯️ In the quiet rural stretches of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, a dark pattern unfolded — one that still chills the community to this day.

Black women, each navigating poverty, addiction, or survival s*x work, began to vanish. Their remains were later discovered in fields, woods, and desolate roadsides near Seven Bridges Road.
Ten suspected victims.
Eight bodies found.
And still — justice has not been fully served.

Here are the women whose lives were stolen:

🌹 Melody Wiggins, 29 — Missing May 30, 2005. Found June 2, 2005, stabbed and beaten in rural Edgecombe County.
🌹 Christine Boone, 43 — Missing January 16, 2007. Found March 9, 2010, skeletonized in Halifax County.
🌹 Jackie Nikelia Thorpe, 35 — Missing May 8, 2007. Found August 17, 2007, decomposed near Seven Bridges Road.
🌹 Joyce Renee Durham, 46 — Last seen June 17, 2007. Never found.
🌹 Ernestine Battle, 50 — Missing February 2008. Found March 14, 2008, skeletonized near Seven Bridges Road. Cause undetermined.
🌹 Yolanda Rene Lancaster, 36 — Missing February 5, 2009. Found January 2011, in woods off Seven Bridges Road.
🌹 Elizabeth Jane Smallwood, 33 — Found 2009 on a Rocky Mount soccer field. Believed killed about six months earlier. (Sister of convicted killer Robert Smallwood.)
🌹 Taraha Shenice Nicholson, 28 — Missing February 22, 2009. Found March 7, 2009, strangled near Seven Bridges Road.
🌹 Jarniece Latonya Hargrove, 31 — Missing April 25, 2009. Found June 29, 2009, in a wooded area near Seven Bridges Road.
🌹 Roberta Williams, 40 — Found March 27, 2010, dumped along Seven Bridges Road by a man riding an ATV.

💀 Ten women. Same area. Same haunting story — vanished from Rocky Mount, dumped near Seven Bridges Road.

👁️ Then came the break: DNA evidence from Taraha Nicholson’s body matched Antwan Pittman, a convicted felon with a violent past.

He was convicted of her murder in 2011 and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
But despite the DNA link and eerie similarities, Pittman has never been charged in the other killings.

🔥 So the questions still burn:
Was Antwan Pittman truly the Seven Bridges Killer — or just one of many predators who targeted these women?
Why did it take so many victims before the community’s cries were heard?
And did systemic neglect allow a serial killer to move undetected for years?

💔 These women mattered. Their lives were more than statistics. And their families deserve more than silence.

📞 If you know anything about the Seven Bridges Killer, contact the Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office.

Justice may be delayed — but it doesn’t have to be denied.
