Dorie Eppler, 45, was found dead on November 5, 2009, in Louisville, Kentucky. Her body had been placed inside a large suitcase and left behind a dumpster two blocks from the rooming house on Kentucky Street where she lived with five other people. Eppler was petite, about 4 feet 11 inches and 80 pounds.

A longtime employee at Ollie’s Trolley since 1997, she was known there as The Fry Lady and sometimes helped at the neighboring D’Nalley’s Restaurant. Coworkers last saw her leave work on a Tuesday night; she missed her shifts the following Wednesday and Thursday. The Louisville Metro Police Department opened a homicide investigation and searched her residence, but the case went cold. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.
