The Dumping Grounds: A trail of bodies hidden in plain sight

Author: Jessica Noll, Rebecca Lindstrom
Published: 11:19 AM EST January 22, 2018

Found sans identity, story and justice

The youngest victim was just days old; the oldest, 50. They were dumped, abandoned, forgotten. Until now.

The lucky ones have a name.

The rest are Janes and Johns.

Each of them is someone’s loved one.

They’ve been cast off in an effort to mask their tragic ending, some dating back to 1975. But for investigators, it’s just the beginning of their story.

To date, 30 men, women and children have found their final resting place along a road you drive every day. And, some of them are a part of the nearly 2,000 people missing in Georgia, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

And they keep piling up.

The trail of covert deadly deception stretches nearly 200 miles along the Interstate 85 corridor from Georgia to the northern tip of South Carolina. Some found are bodies, some naked—others wearing clothes. Some are mere bones with few clues, found only because of back-country hikers, real estate developers or men panning for gold.

“There’s a lot of rural area in there; there’s a lot of vegetation; there’s a lot of hillcrests and other areas in which you can make a car disappear just by going around a bend,” GBI special agent, Jeremy Howell, said.

Investigators, like Howell, struggle to give these victims a real identity, uncover the truth about what happened to them and tell their stories.

These are some of those stories.




Jane of Jackson


Sunday, Aug. 19, 2001
Jackson County Deputy Sheriff Ben Braselton pulls over a vehicle along I-85 in Jefferson, Ga., for a routine traffic stop. Standing just off the shoulder, the driver asks to jump over the guardrail to relieve himself.

As he makes his way into the woods, he detects an ominous odor.

Just a few feet from the interstate, lies a fully clothed, decomposed body of a black female.

She’s been there for days, maybe even weeks, and is unrecognizable.

Police believe the victim is between 5’1”-5’6” tall, and between 15 and 24 years old.

Her toenails are painted with blue polish and she is wearing a blue-, white- and green- striped No Boundaries halter top, size 3 No Boundaries, dark blue, denim jeans, size 6 No Boundaries, black underwear, and white athletic socks with the FUBU logo.

Her teeth indicate several dental restorations. Her front teeth bulge with a slight gap in the middle. And a large tuft of black, course, wavy, 6"-long hair is located nearby.

While they recover fingerprints and DNA from her remains, she still has no identity and her cause of death remains unknown.

She isn’t lucky enough to have a name.

“There may be people that don’t love them, don’t have care or concern or they have run away or that they are missing or lead a lifestyle that takes them away from other people,” Howell said. “It’s very difficult to do a suspectology or victimology until you identify who they are.”
