GBI Releases Sketch Of Woman Found Dead Inside Suitcase

BUTTS COUNTY, GA — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is working with the Butts County Sheriff's Office to identify the skeletal remains of a woman found in a suitcase late last year along Interstate 75.

The remains were found on Dec. 28, 2017, in a soft-sided suitcase in Butts County, which is about 50 miles south of Atlanta, the GBI said. An anthropological examination indicates the remains are of an African-American woman between 19 and 45 years old, the agency added.

Her height ranges from 5 feet and 5'8'' tall and a "well-healed" fracture was found on her right leg directly at the ankle. The remains are further distinguished by a "pronounced gap" between her top two front teeth, GBI notes.

A composite sketch of what the woman may look like based upon the skull structure has been completed by the GBI forensic artist. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact the GBI office in Milledgeville at 478-445-4173, the Butts County Sheriff’s Office at 770-775-8216 or email the GBI at Tips@gbi.ga.gov.
