Local law enforcement and the GBI spent nearly four hours Wednesday at the scene where the bodies of two Floyd County women were found after apparently being dropped over an East Rome Bypass bridge.
The GBI confirmed Thursday afternoon it is treating the deaths as a homicide as they continue their investigation.
The bodies of the two women, who were sisters, were found on a dry area under the northbound bridge over the Etowah River near Grizzard Park. They were removed from the scene with the help of Rome-Floyd County Fire Department personnel.
Floyd County Chief Deputy Coroner Connie Chandler confirmed the identity of the two women found dead as 19-year-old Vanita Nicole "Vera" Richardson, and 30-year-old Truvenia Clarece "Bean" Campbell.
Chandler said the cause of their death is under investigation and the bodies of the two women were taken to the state crime lab on Thursday morning.
