The Georgia Bureau of Investigation released a sketch of the woman to the public in hopes someone would recognize her.
The body has since been identified as that of 19-year-old Sarai Llanos Gomez, of Ecuador.
The GBI also released a sketch of a person of interest in the case, a man they say was seen on surveillance video in the area around the same time.
It’s unclear whether he’s been identified or is still considered to be a suspect.
