Sentenced: Body Believed to Be Missing Pregnant North Carolina Woman Found in Suitcase

[Sugar Cookie]

A woman's body was found in a suitcase in Raleigh on Monday morning, close to where a pregnant North Carolina woman went missing a few days ago.

The body was discovered by a passerby near the shoreline off the Neuse River Trail, east of the city, around 11 a.m.

Deputies from the Wake County Sheriff's Office arrived on the scene and are investigating the case as a homicide.

Authorities have so far been unable to confirm the identity of the woman and are awaiting the results of an autopsy by the State Medical Examiner's Office. Baker added that it was "safe to say this was no accident."

"We're getting ready to confirm [the woman's identity]," Baker told reporters at the scene. "I can't sit here and tell you that's what's in there right now. We have not gotten to that point. We have information to believe it."

The family of missing woman Brittany Samone Smith was also at the scene, ABC11 reported.

Days earlier on February 6, police had requested assistance in locating the 28-year-old, according to a missing person's report issued by the Wake County Sheriff's Office.

I assume they will be talking to the sperm donor in depth.

 

[Sejanus]

Um yeah.
No an accident or suicide to be sure.
She had a pleasant face.

Some angry pissed off dude no doubt that never learned life matters

Apparently her and her bf had been living in a tent since last July... Shitty situation esp pregnant through the winter

Ahhhhh, I didn't realize it was THEIR backyard!! I thought the owner of the home was named Dale Williams. Was wondering what the connection was between the couple and her
Regardless, the couple that kills together should die together

Yup, after rereading it seems you are correct! Apologies for my pre-coffee reading comprehension.

 

[RavagesTheCabbages]

I don't believe they really knew this couple, all their friends have no idea how they were acquainted it seems from their FB activity

An autopsy report released Wednesday revealed a Wake County woman was strangled to death before her body was found in a suitcase in the Neuse River in February.

Brittany Samone Smith, 28, was about six months pregnant when she was killed, the report states.

A gray, cloth-wrapped cellphone charger was still wrapped around her neck when her body was found inside a suitcase Feb. 9 in the Neuse River.

A blood test detected fentanyl and cocaine in Smith’s system at the time of her death.

The fetus was not injured, the autopsy states.

Smith was reported missing before her body was found. She had been living in a tent behind a Wendell home when she disappeared.

The Wake County Sheriff’s Office arrested Thomas Clayton Johnson, 37, and Emmalei Grace Trevathan, 24, during a traffic stop on Feb. 10 in Raleigh. Both face charges of murder, murder of an unborn child, and concealment of a body.
