Pittsboro, N.C. — The Chatham County Sheriff's Office arrested two Chapel Hill men Tuesday afternoon in connection with the slaying of a Siler City woman.

The body of Daphne Forster, 38, was found Oct. 10 along Chicken Bridge Road in northern Chatham County. Her car, a blue 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier, was found outside a Durham hotel early Monday.

Brian Keith Whitfield, 24, and Caleb Shaddie Wyland, 25, both of 3400 Carl Durham Road, were each charged with first-degree murder. Additional charges are expected.

Whitfield and Wyland are due in court Nov. 19.

Investigators have not released any information about how Forster died, a possible motive or whether she knew her accused killers.

@FREEBRIAN: I echo your sentiments. I also know him and his family personally. I see people on here say it must have been his upbringing and can tell you his family is some of the best people I have ever met. It definitely put a knot in my stomach when I read this story. You are not alone there are other people that feel the same way.

FREEBRIAN...He is charged with murder. He can have his day in court. Obviously the police have some sort of evidence or he wouldn't be sitting in jail right now. Daphne is the innocent one here.

excuse me, Brian is my ex, I know him very well and I know that he didn't do this. He's not a killer. So what if he's a white supremacist? HE IS NOT A KILLER! Free Brian!!!
