RENO, Nev. (AP) — Authorities say they have discovered the remains of an 18-year-old northern Nevada woman who was kidnapped over two weeks ago east of Reno. The Lyon and Churchill county sheriff’s offices said late Wednesday a tip led investigators to the body of Naomi Irion in a remote part of northern Nevada Tuesday. They say an autopsy Wednesday confirmed the body was Irion. Troy Driver, a 41-year-old man with a violent criminal record, was charged with first-degree kidnapping. Irion was last seen March 12 in her car in a Walmart parking lot in Fernley about 30 miles east of Reno. Authorities haven’t said whether Driver will be charged in her death.
