- Investigators discovered Allen's body near Chimney Rock Park on Thursday after she went missing while eight months pregnant with her first child.
- Evidence suggests Faux fled to Louisiana by bus after the incident, where authorities allege he Face-Timed a friend and claimed he "killed a MF'er" while showing a lifeless body.
- Following the arrest, victim advocate Andy Kahan criticized a February 19 plea deal that released Faux after 280 days for a reduced assault charge, stating, "The community deserves answers."
