Athens-Clarke County police have expanded their investigation into the death of a young woman whose burned body was found in a car last month.
Police said the victim, 23-year-old Darla Gibbons, most likely knew her killer. Her remains were found Oct. 23 in the 1300 block of Winterville Road.
Athens-Clarke County police Lt. Christopher Nichols said the investigation has evolved into a multi-county probe. So far, police have interviewed one potential suspect. He was arrested on an unrelated firearms charge out of Greene County.

Johnson says her daughter was tortured, killed, stuffed in the trunk of her car and set on fire...
Police and GBI investigators only confirm she was shot to death before being burned in the car. Police told Channel 2s Steve Gehlbach they dont believe Gibbons was shot and killed at the rock quarry. They believe it was used merely as a dump site.
GBI special agent in charge Mike Ayers says they've arrested her long-term boyfriend Rodricus Ward, of Greene County. He's in custody on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, charges unrelated to Johnson's murder. But investigators are expecting additional charges soon.
