Aaron had been missing since April 1, 2017. Deputies said that she left her address on Placid Road in Hudson after an argument with her boyfriend and had not been seen or heard from since.

During a news conference, detectives revealed they were able to positively identify her through dental records.
There is there is no evidence of trauma to Aaron's body, according to officials. However, the body has been decomposing for eight months and was described as "skeletonized" during the news conference.
