Nearly two decades after a bag stuffed with dismembered human remains was discovered burning along a road outside of Atlanta, the woman once suspected in the case has now been charged with what authorities described as a “gruesome” murder.
Angel Marie Thompson had been previously charged with concealing the death of her 24-year-old girlfriend Nicole Alston and stealing her identity. Now, Thompson is charged with her murder, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced at a news conference Wednesday.
