GUILTY GA - Heather Camp, 33, & Nicole Sartell, 31, found murdered, Atlanta, Dec 2014

Police were first called to the abandoned home on Madrona Street around 1:30 p.m. Friday. They found a body in a back room covered in a sheet. When they finished processing the first homicide scene and started searching the house, they discovered a second body in a bedroom closet. Police confirmed the door had been nailed shut.

One of the bodies was identified as that of 33-year-old Heather Camp, of Canton, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner...

Neighbors fear the case might be related to a missing woman named Nicole Sartell. Sartell, a woman who used to come by the home frequently, hasn't been seen in months. Neighbors said she's been missing since mid-August.

Investigators found some similarities in the victims’ injuries, but their causes of death are pending autopsies, Chafee said.

“There are suspicious circumstances surrounding this death. We are very concerned about what we have found,” Atlanta Police Capt. Paul Guerrucci said earlier Friday regarding the first body. He declined to discuss the circumstances that raised suspicions.

“I don’t believe it is going to be a random act,” he said.

Police say squatters are often seen at the home. But during their investigation, they found the body of a second woman inside a closet, covered by debris. Police believe she may have been there for several months...

Investigators believe the two cases are connected. Both women were likely killed inside the house, which now could be a key piece of evidence in the case.

"That's a reasonable deduction that whoever occupied the house committed these, or whoever occupied the house or had access to it committed these crimes," added Guerrucci. "At this point it will be left up to the medical examiner to determine how those women were killed and exactly when."

Channel 2’s Tyisha Fernandes obtained a report that says police were called to the house 14 times this year for drugs, fights, and most recently a murder. It turned into a double murder investigation when police found a second body hidden in a closet that was nailed shut.

“That’s what's so creepy about it. The people in and out of there every day; I'm like, somebody had to know that body was in there,” said Powers.

Fernandes also obtained another police report that says, a 16-year-old girl claims she was sexually assaulted by a man who was living at the home. The report shows, "she says the sex was against her will and she got pregnant.”
