The number of fully vaccinated people in Sampson County jumped by more than 600 in one day’s reporting, according to numbers tracked via the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) COVID-19 Dashboard. Half the 18 and older population across the state is now partially vaccinated, the state figures show.
Nearly a year and a half after a Sampson man went missing from the Newton Grove area, investigators have charged a suspect in his killing. Foul play was suspected nearly from the outset and authorities revealed this week that human remains found earlier this year in the Newton Grove area were recently confirmed as being the missing man.
