Linda Symantha Myrick, 44, was found dead in a vacant lot in west Atlanta in March 2010. Her body was dismembered and missing both head and hands; investigators identified her from medical records that noted a distinctive surgical plate and screws in her left leg. Police believe she was killed sometime between the late night of Saturday, March 20, and the early morning of Sunday, March 21, 2010. She lived in DeKalb County and was known to frequent Moreland Avenue and Memorial Drive there.

Initial investigators reported no immediate signs of other injuries or sexual assault while a full autopsy was pending. Law enforcement questioned some of her known associates but did not publicly identify or eliminate any suspects. If anyone knew Linda, her movements that weekend, or has information that could help solve this killing, please come forward.
