Suitcase with apparent human remains discovered along I-75 in Butts County

A motorist traveling along the southbound lanes of Interstate 75 in Butts County spotted something odd.


According to Butts County Sheriff Gary Long, the motorist stopped at around 2 p.m. Thursday to retrieve something that fell off their vehicle. That's when they noticed a suitcase near the woods.

He said the motorist notified authorities to report what appears to be human remains inside the suitcase. He said the suitcase appears to have been there for some time.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called to Butts County after possible human remains were discovered.

According to a news release, the GBI got involved following a request from Butts County Sheriff’s Office.

On Thursday, a motorist searching for a lost item on the side of I-75 southbound, within a few miles of exit 201, found what is believed to be human skeletal remains.
 
Is there a chance this could be linked to Morgan Bauer?

Don't know, I can't seem to find her thread and I thought for sure she had one.

Yeah same here I looked for her Too on here.. I know she’s still missing despite the convoluted mess her sister made for the investigators... they did an update on the vanished podcast about her, as of Nov 2017 she is still a missing person.

I just started a new thread for Morgan, since I wasn't 100% sure there was a thread before: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...Covington-27-Feb-2016&p=13835584#post13835584

Mods, please merge if there was one previously that we are overlooking. She was just featured in a missing persons in America article this month and she is still in Namus.
 
Don’t quote me, but I’m pretty sure her family asked that the thread be removed.

Oh, I didn't know that. How strange, considering she is still listed as missing and she went missing as an adult (19), not a minor. I will alert my thread to a mod and let them decide if it should be hidden again. :(
 
More on the remains and a photo of the area:

GBI Special Agent Joe Wooten says the nature of the scene is indicative that the suitcase had been there for some time.

Butts County Sheriff Gary Long told our Atlanta station that the bones appeared to include a human skull.

The possible remains will be turned over to the GBI which will test the bones and confirm that they are human.

I think it was because of so much negativity associated with the internet affected how the real LE approached Morgan’s case.
Once her sister started an internet rumor it created a firestorm, people then started accusing the family of faking it to defraud donators to a go fund me. The sister apparently has a personal ax to grind which leads me to believe she just wanted to cause trouble and as a result it Severely impacted how IRL people dealt with Morgan’s case.

I’m sure as long as people on will respect the fact that she’s still missing and not go off topic or run off with hurtful things I’m sure the family would allow it. Imo they just don’t want anymore internet talk to dis sway investors

The Butts County Sheriff told Fox5 that locked inside the luggage were bones and a skull.
According to a WGXA report, human pelvic bones were among the remains.
The suitcase was reportedly found at mile marker 203 near Harkness and Colwell roads around 1:45 p.m. on Dec. 28 by a motorist scouring the area for a piece of cargo he thought he had lost.
Ralph Wilson of the Butts County Coroner’s Office suggested that whoever put the suitcase there didn’t simply dump it out of a moving vehicle.

“It appears that it was carried in,” Wilson told reporters.

I'm sorry but what did I do wrong?
 
As for the first examination was inconclusive and we have to wait for several weeks to know more about this case.....I will wait patiently.....keeping my thoughts to myself....

You didn't do anything wrong. I am just flagging the post "off topic" so that people don't mistake the NamUs casefile that you linked for the case that we are discussing on this thread.
 
Maybe it is this young man:
Aubrey Carroll went missing from Griffin,GA in May 2016, which is about 15 miles from exit 201. One of last known sightings was at the Flying J which is located at exit 201.

*snip*

Witnesses were interviewed again, but the last lead on the teen’s whereabouts was the Flying J truck stop at Interstate 75 and Ga. 36 near Jackson.
Once word of his disappearance spread last spring, a man came forward and said he picked Carroll up on the road and dropped him off at the truck stop.
“The guy’s 100 percent sure it was Aubrey he picked up,” Dix said.

Namus page: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/show/38451

Aubrey Jayce Carroll was last seen on May 24, 2016, when he left his high school early and did not return to his home in Griffin, Georgia. It is believed that he may have stayed with friends for a few days and mentioned that he was going to Jones County, Georgia, where he has ties. He also has ties to Spalding County, Georgia. Aubrey has not had contact with family or friends since May of 2016 and there is concern that he may be endangered. He has a pierced ear and when he was last seen, he had a goatee.

Is this near where latania janell carwell went missing?

Janell is missing from Augusta, GA but her step-father who kidnapped her was found alone in Atlanta. Here is a map-- first address is block of Janell's home, Second is the intersection close to where the remains were found and last address is a gas station in Atlanta where Leon Tripp was spotted alone right before the warrant for his arrest was issued: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/310...9b1a92f94673!2m2!1d-84.414489!2d33.733578!3e0

Location is close enough to Atlanta I think Leon could have hidden Janell there before going up to Atlanta. JMO.
Still waiting on more details on these remains. Hopefully LE can solve this one easily. With the location being off a main interstate, the UID could theoretically be from anywhere.
