On May 29, 2025, deputies with the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with the Bladen County Sheriff’s Office (NC) Criminal Investigations Division, apprehended 21-year-old Nicolai Chisala Hubbeling of Old Hickory, Tennessee. Hubbeling was taken into custody without incident during a coordinated vehicle takedown near his residence in Wilson County.
Hubbeling is charged with First Degree Murder in connection to the 2024 disappearance and death of 81-year-old William Scott Lowry of Ammon, North Carolina. Lowry was reported missing in late August 2024 after last being seen walking near his home on FL McDaniel Road in rural Bladen County.
Following an anonymous tip received by Bladen County authorities in April 2025, a joint investigation was launched which ultimately led to Hubbeling’s location in Tennessee. Investigators from both agencies worked collaboratively to bring him into custody safely and efficiently.
Hubbeling is currently being held without bond at the Wilson County Detention Center, where he awaits extradition proceedings to Bladen County, North Carolina.
This remains an active and ongoing investigation. Any further information will be released by the Bladen County Sheriff's Office as it becomes available.
