On November 20, 2004, skeletal remains were found near an alley at East Main and Mitchell Avenue on Chattanooga's Southside. "Wrapped... in a piece of carpet," Sgt. Phillips explained. "Hidden by a recliner. Yeah, it was obviously foul play."
Decomposition was so severe, investigators could only recognize the remains as being that of a female. Dental records identified her as 37-year old Gina Muir. The coroner located a fracture at the base of her skull. Her death was not an accident...
We spoke with Muir's mother, Gloria Edge, in 2010... The two had lived together until March of 2004, but Gina's life took a turn and her mother took action. "What caused me to ask her to leave was tough love," said Edge. "Gina had gone to a lifestyle that left her in harm's way."

Gina had been living at home with her mother after getting out of a relationship. After being confronted by her mother about drug use, she left home. She was staying with friends when she could, but, according to friends, she was basically living out of her vehicle.
She was last seen in the Main Street area by an acquaintance in May of 2004 and was reported missing by her mother in June of 2004.
