Diana Alejandra Keel, 38, missing on March 9, was last seen by her husband on March 8, the Nash County Sheriff's Office said.
Keel 's employer said that the emergency room nurse had not come to work in recent days. The sheriff's office said her body was found about 30 miles from her home.
After an autopsy on Wednesday, the police confirmed Keel's identity and said his death was treated as a homicide.
Police on Tuesday questioned Keel's husband, Rexford Lynn Keel, said Major Mist Strickland of the Nash County Sheriff's Office. He was not charged in the death of his wife and has since been released. Keel did not respond to CNN's request for comment.
Investigators are also looking into the death of Keel's first wife, Elizabeth Edward Keel, who died in 2006 in the same house as Keel lives today, according to a statement from the sheriff's office.
Keel did not report the disappearance of his wife, said Nash County Sheriff Keith Stone. Keel said his wife would frequently leave their home in Nashville, NC, several days at a time, according to Stone.
She "would not let her kids"
But her family said the mother of two would not have left her children. "My sister would not leave her children alone," Keel's brother Mauricio told WRAL. "She is cheerful, she is caring, she is a wonderful mother, she is the best sister of all time, she is like a guardian angel."
Police recovered Lynn Keel Tuesday night and took her for interrogation, Strickland told CNN. He was not charged in the death of his wife and has since been released.
At a press conference Wednesday, Stone had said that he had been told that there were "difficulties" in the marriage of the Keels. Stone also said that Rexford Lynn Keel cooperated with the police.
The death in 2006 of Keel's first wife, Elizabeth Edward Keel, was at that time deemed an accident by the forensic pathologist's office, the Nash County Sheriff's Office announced. An autopsy revealed that she had died after falling and hitting her forehead at the corner of concrete steps in front of the house. Strickland told CNN that detectives were working with the FBI and other local agencies to investigate the deaths of the two women.
"Certainly, there is a killer on the run and we are doing everything we can," Stone said at a press conference Wednesday.
