NEWTON - The remains found near a hay field in Catawba have been identified as Travis Baker.

During a press conference with Baker's families and friends present, Chief Deputy Coy Reid, of the Catawba County Sheriff's Office, announced that the skeletal remains discovered Wednesday morning were those of the teen who disappeared more than two years ago.

A tip received by the sheriff's department focused the investigation on John Lee Mitchell Jr., who was arrested in Orange County, Fla., Wednesday night. Mitchell is to go in front of a judge Thursday and, if he waives his extradition, may be bought back to Catawba County Friday.
