A search team from Johnston County helped canvass swampy and wooded fields in rural Edgecombe County on Wednesday, joining a task force investigation into the murders of at least six black Rocky Mount women who have been found dead along the same rural stretch since 2003.

Investigators have been searching for three other missing Rocky Mount women whose profiles are similar to the victims.

A spokeswoman from the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office confirmed a 13-member search and rescue team had been dispatched to assist the Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office in searching areas off Seven Bridges Road, a couple miles outside Rocky Mount.

Police are searching for at least three missing women – Yolanda “Snap” Lancaster, 37, Joyce Renee Durham, 46, and Christine Boone, 43 – in connection with the investigation.

Pittman only has been charged in Nicholson's murder, but authorities have reason to believe he might have been responsible for at least four of the other deaths, according to search warrants filed in Halifax County this month.

Authorities are searching for at least two missing women in connection with the investigation: Lancaster and 46-year-old Joyce Renee Durham, also of Rocky Mount.

Details of Disappearance​

Durham was last seen in the 1500 block of Harper Street in Rocky Mount, North Carolina at 2:30 p.m. on June 17, 2007. She has never been heard from again.

Durham is one of eight women who have disappeared from Rocky Mount since 2005. Seven of them were found murdered in rural areas east of the city, along with one unidentified woman; their homicides remain unsolved. All of the victims were African-American and all of them had a history of drug or alcohol abuse and prostitution.

In August 2009, Antwan Maurice Pittman was charged with murdering one of the women, Taraha Senice Nicholson. She was found strangled in a wooded area in March 2009, six days after she was last seen. He was convicted of her murder in 2011.

Authorities haven't said whether Pittman is a suspect in any of the other murders or disappearances, but he did live very close to where the victims' bodies were found. Durham's disappearance remains unsolved.
