AUTHORITIES ID WOMAN WHOSE BODY WAS FOUND IN GEORGIA LANDFILL
Bartow County, Georgia authorities have identified a woman whose dismembered remains were found in a landfill last month, but have yet to release the victim’s name.
The remains belong to a missing woman from West Virginia. Distinctive tattoos appeared across her upper chest: a sacred heart flanked by Easter lilies.
Investigators said the victim was a brown- or red-haired white woman, 18 to 35, standing between 5-feet-2 and 5-feet-6 and weighing about 150 pounds.
A sanitation worker made the grisly discovery on August 13 while emptying a trash compactor at a landfill; one of the bags broke open and the contents spilled out, police said.
