Spring’s mother reported her daughter missing to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office on Oct. 4, the agency said.
Officers who responded to a call shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday were directed to a wooded area in the 1800 block of J. Julian Lane in west Charlotte, where they located the deceased victim.
Hall is being held in the Mecklenburg County jail on a $60,000 bond, PEOPLE confirms. Online records do not indicate whether he has entered a plea or has an attorney who might speak on his behalf.
