The biological mother of a missing Fayetteville woman spoke to WRAL News after
authorities discovered skeletal remains on Friday.

According to Foster, false abuse allegations and an ex-husband in and out of legal trouble led to London leaving her care.
Foster said she met Avantae Deven before London’s adoption.
“She was wanting to adopt her,” she said. “She seemed like a nice person. You put somebody you love and cherish in somebody’s care and hope for the best.”

WRAL News has reached out to Avantae Deven on the disappearance of the two children but has not heard back.

Authorities said it could take weeks or months before the Medical Examiner’s Office identifies the remains. While it’s unclear who the remains belong to, the Federal Bureau of Investigation asked Foster to provide a DNA sample.
