Watts' sister, Stephanie Johnson, told ABC News the 39-year-old was last seen on July 16 with Dunmore, her boyfriend of one year. The couple met when Watts, who lives in Moore County, North Carolina, would drive to Charlotte to visit her cousin, who is Dunmore's neighbor, Johnson said.
It was not immediately clear where in Montgomery County the remains were found. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said Thursday, "This case is no longer considered a missing person investigation."
