Hoping to identify the woman whose body was discovered in three suitcases in the Intercoastal Waterway last week, Delray Beach police today released an artist’s created image of what she may have looked like.
In addition, they distributed images of two of the three suitcases the body was discovered in as well as an artist’s rendering of a woman wearing clothes similar to those the victim was found wearing.
Detectives are continuing to ask for the public’s help in reviewing home surveillance cameras along the Intracoastal Waterway from the Linton Boulevard bridge to the George Bush Boulevard bridge between Monday, July 17, and early Thursday, July 20, when the suitcases were spotted.
Investigators have been reviewing missing persons information but so far have been unable to find a match.
Police described the suitcases as “unique” with one being a purple Palm Springs Ricardo Beverly Hills bag and the other a green and black polka-dot Charlie Sport bag.
Homicide investigators say the victim was a white or Hispanic woman with brown hair, about 5-feet-4-inches tall and 35 to 55 years old. She may have had tattooed eyebrows. She was wearing a floral tank top and black mid-thigh shorts.
“The brand for the floral top is ‘Betzabe’ which from what we can tell is a Brazilian company,” police said in a statement this afternoon.
Investigators ask anyone with information to contact Detective Mike Liberta at 561-243-7874.
“No bit of information is too small,” police said.
