Deputies: Convicted murderer confesses to stabbing missing woman to death
Apr 15, 2025
GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) - An arrest has been made in connection to the 2020 disappearance and murder of 19-year-old Jorden Nebling.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office announced that 23-year-old Tyler Wilkins confessed to stabbing Nebling to death with a pocketknife.
Nebling was rep
orted missing on October 10, 2020.
Wilkins is currently serving a 45-year sentence for an unrelated 2022 double murder of Clarissa Winchester and her child. It was reported that Wilkins pleaded guilty to beating Winchester to death inside a residence on Saw Mill Road.
Winchester was pregnant at the time of the incident. A forensic examination revealed that the baby did not have any apparent trauma and had never taken a breath.
Since the day of Nebling's disappearance, deputies have conducted an investigative search in an effort to locate her. In 2023, the sheriff's office announced deputies had reason to believe the person of interest was already behind bars for an unrelated investigation.
According to prison officials, Wilkins admitted to his involvement in Jordan's death on the day she went missing. Homicide investigators subsequently met with the suspect, during which he confessed to the fatal stabbing.
At this time, deputies said Nebling's body has not been recovered, but search efforts remain ongoing.
A date for Wilkins's arraignment on charges of murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime has yet to be determined. ...read more read less
