Two people have been arrested after a missing woman’s body was found on Tuesday in Pittsylvania County. According to the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, the body of Debbie Ann Marrero was found near 1647 Mountain Hill Road in Ringgold.

Marrero’s body was discovered after the Danville Police Department received information from the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office regarding a possible lead in the case. Acting on that information, Investigators from the Danville Police Department and the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office collectively conducted a search for a suspected location in the southeastern section of Pittsylvania County.

The body has been transported to the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Roanoke, Virginia, where an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause and manner of death.

Marrero had been reported missing from Danville in November of 2025. David Thomas Gunnell, 61, and Deborah Lynn Hurd, 63, have both been arrested and charged for the murder of Marrero.

Both individuals are currently being held without bond pending their first court appearance. This investigation remains active and ongoing.
