BY SUSAN NORMAN
The Georgia Bureau of
Investigation has posted on
its website a photograph of
a model of the face of the
man found dead Nov. 16 off
Atlanta Highway in Barrow
County.
The likeness is based on
the bones and other remains.
It is of a Hispanic man who
appears to be young, though
information posted with the
photograph states the victim
could have been born anytime
between 1968 and 1988.
The posting also confirms
for the first time that the body
was badly burned.
Jim Fullington, special
agent in charge of the GBI’S
District 11 office in Athens
said in a
recent inter
view that
a forensic
anthropolo
gist’s study
of the bones
narrowed
down the
time of death
to “two to
four days”
before the body was found.
The body was discovered by
two people walking through
woods behind a vacant house
at 998 Atlanta Hwy.
Anyone who believes they
recognize the person in the
GBI photograph is asked to
call the agency’s Athens office
at 706-542-7901.
Police investigating death
of 11-day-old Winder infant
BY SUSAN NORMAN
An 11-day-old Winder infant died Dec. 19 while in the care of
a babysitter, family members and friends.
The death was discovered after the parents returned home and
found the baby “cold and unresponsive,” according to a Winder
Police Department press release.
Police went to the home at about 4 p.m.
Capt. Dennis Dorsey said in an interview Monday that the
parents had legitimate reasons for being away from home. He
did not release the names of the parents or the address where
the infant died.
The infant’s body was sent to the GBI Crime Lab for an
autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Dorsey said Deputy Coroner Robby Black told him that an
autopsy is standard policy when an infant dies.
