On December 6, 2007, the fire department in Troup County Georgia was called to a rural county road after two bags were found on fire. Extinguishing the blaze, firefighters find dismembered human remains inside the bags. The body had been cut into 13 pieces, and the head, hands and feet, were all missing. Investigators failed to identify the body at the time, but did not give up. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack go over the evidence found in the bags and how it was used, 18-years later, to identify the woman....and open a case that leads to murder, stolen identity, and fraud.
