The FBI and the Lumberton Police Department are seeking information from the public in three death investigations.
The bodies of the three women were found within a four-block radius along East 5th and East 9th Streets in Lumberton between April 18, 2017, and June 3, 2017. The FBI is now offering a reward of up to $40,000 for information that helps investigators determine the circumstances that led to the deaths of Christina Bennett, Rhonda Jones, and Megan Oxendine.
• Christina Bennett, known to her family as Kristin, was found deceased inside a house on Peachtree Street in Lumberton on April 18, 2017;
• Rhonda Jones was found deceased outside a house on East 5th Street in Lumberton on the same day, April 18, 2017;
• Megan Oxendine was found deceased outside a house on East 8th Street in Lumberton on June 3, 2017.
The Lumberton Police Department requested assistance from the FBI in June 2017 in the three death investigations. The FBI routinely provides help to local law enforcement partners when the FBI has tools, techniques, or tactics that can benefit their investigations.
Detectives, special agents, and other law enforcement personnel have conducted more than 400 interviews, followed hundreds of tips, and developed many leads during this investigation. While the agencies say progress in the investigation is being made, they want to remind the community how valuable its input can be.
If you have information to help investigators determine what happened to these victims, call the Lumberton Police Department at 910-671-3845, FBI Charlotte at 704-672-6100, or online at tips.fbi.gov
