The DeKalb County Police Department is currently investigating a disturbing discovery made last night. A woman's body was located in the vicinity of the former North DeKalb Mall, an area that's in the midst of transforming into the new Lulah Hills mixed-use community. The body, found near Lawrenceville Highway and North Druid Hills Road, was discovered shortly before 6 p.m., as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
The site, where the mall once stood, is now a scene where police treaded searching for clues, the building having been demolished this past August. In grisly contrast to the area's forthcoming development, the woman's body was found in a woodline close to the property. While investigators are combing through evidence, they have not yet released details regarding the identity of the woman or the circumstances that led to her death. Meanwhile, the investigation moves forward with a call to the public for any information that could aid in the case.
Similarly, Atlanta News First reported on the incident, confirming the time of the discovery and the location near the soon-to-emerge Lulah Hills Mall. The DeKalb County detectives working on the case have yet to determine the cause of death, and it remains unclear whether they are pursuing any suspects at this time.
The authorities, navigating the early stages of what may unfold into a broader mystery, are seeking assistance from anyone who might have insights into this tragedy. They encourage those with potentially relevant information to step forward and contact the DeKalb County Police Department.
