'Monster with a badge': How an officer was convicted in teen's shocking murder
"She was last seen leaving the Sterling Glen Apartments before a tracking app detected her moving in the opposite direction at around 40 miles per hour, a troubling sign that Morales may have entered a vehicle. Almost seven months later, her remains were located in the woods near a highway more than 20 miles away."
"When her skeletal remains were discovered in February 2023, investigators determined, based on the fact that no clothing fragments were found near her remains, that Morales's body had been left there naked. Nails with black finger polish, like Susana wore on the eve of her vanishing, were found in the woods. It was the first indication to authorities that they had finally found Susana."
"Police discovered that the morning after Mor"
""Susana's hair was very curly; she loved exploring new colors with it. She had dyed her hair green, red and blonde at one point," Perez said. Her mother, Maria Bran, told ABC News correspondent John Quiñones that she would go by the nickname Susi and how she wished to celebrate her Quinceañera eating her favorite food. "She tells me... mommy, I want tacos," Bran said."
Susana Morales, 16, disappeared on July 26, 2022, while walking home from a friend’s house in Norcross, Georgia. She was last seen leaving Sterling Glen Apartments, and a tracking app later detected movement in the opposite direction at about 40 miles per hour, raising concern she may have entered a vehicle. Nearly seven months later, her remains were found in woods more than 20 miles away near a highway. Investigators determined her body had been left naked because no clothing fragments were found nearby. Nails with black finger polish were recovered, matching what she wore before she vanished. A black Glock 19 pistol was found about 30 yards away, providing a key lead for identifying her killer.
