Early County, Ga. (WDNews) — Authorities in Early County have launched a murder investigation after discovering the body of a Florida woman along Highway 84. Early County Coroner Crystal Tolbert identified the victim as 29-year-old Carmen Correra from Orange County, Florida.
The investigation began when the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Orlando reached out to the Early County Sheriff’s Office on October 29, requesting assistance in locating evidence potentially discarded along Highway 84 near the Alabama-Georgia state line.
During a search on Thursday, October 31, Early County deputies discovered Correra’s body, which is believed to have been left next to the highway for nearly two days. The body has since been sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for an autopsy.
Local authorities are working closely with officials from Florida to determine what led to Correra’s death.
