Polk County officials are still waiting to hear back from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Crime Lab as to the identity of a woman who was found dead on Morgan Valley Road last week.

After the June 6 discovery of the remains in a ditch on Morgan Valley Road, the Polk County Police and Polk County Coroner’s Office are in a holding pattern on being able to move forward in their investigation until that positive ID is made.

The remains were sent to the Crime Lab last Friday, June 7, for an autopsy and identification.

Investigators were in the midst of a search of the roadway when the discovery was made on Thursday afternoon, June 6.

Anyone who might have information about the deceased are asked to reach out to Sgt. J. Raybun in the Criminal Investigation Division at 678-246-5129 or contact Polk County 911.
