Susana Morales Wiki, Biography
A police officer in Atlanta has been charged with concealing the death of a teen who went missing last summer. Former Doraville officer Miles Bryant, 22, is facing one count of falsely reporting a crime and concealing the death of 16-year-old Susana Morales. The Gwinnett County Police Department said in a statement to The Independent that detectives found enough probable cause to make the arrest on Monday but noted that the investigation is still ongoing.
Susana’s remains were found near a highway in eastern Gwinnett County on 6 February. She had been missing since 26 July, while on her way home in the city of Norcross.
Mr Bryant has since been fired from the Doraville Police Department and is being held at the Gwinnett Detention Center without bond. Doraville police said they’re actively cooperating with Gwinnett County investigators. “Our prayers rest with the family and friends of Susana Morales and everyone else affected by this tragedy,” the department said in a statement.
It is unclear in what way Mr Bryant is linked to the teen’s death. The Gwinnett County Police Department said that they continue to investigate Susana’s manner and cause of death.
She texted her mother that she was on her way home shortly before going missing last summer.
Footage retrieved by investigators showed her walking in the direction of her home but it is believed she may have gotten inside a vehicle.
Her phone also pinged from Windscape Village Lane to her home near Singleton Road in Norcross. Susana’s remains were found after a passerby saw the body in the woods and alerted police. The remains were positively identified on 8 February.
Authorities have asked anyone with information to call detectives at 770- 513-5300 or submit anonymous tips to the Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta website.
Susana Morales, 16, a student at Meadowcreek High School in Norcross, Georgia was first reported missing over the summer. On February 6, police discovered Morales’ remains in the forest between Drowning Creek and Barrow County. The Gwinnett Medical Examiners’ office reported that the DNA of the remains was consistent with the girl’s dental records. The now-former cop was arrested “in connection with the disappearance and murder of Susana Morales,” according to the City of Doraville. They added, “The City of Doraville and its Police Department are fully cooperating with the Gwinnett Police Department in its investigation of Mr. Bryant. “Our prayers rest with the family and friends of Susana Morales and everyone else affected by this tragedy.”
Susana was last seen by her family walking from her home to a friend’s residence around 6 pm. According to authorities, Morales contacted her mother to let her know she was heading to her Gwinnett County home at 9:40 pm on the night she went missing. Records from Susana’s phone showed that between 10:07 and 10:21 pm, she was heading in that direction. Police think she may have gotten into a car at some time. Later, her phone died or was switched off and she never came back home. Susana’s body was discovered this past Monday when a bystander in Gwinnett County, Georgia, called the police to report finding some remains in the woods. “It does look like she has been there for some period of time,” Gwinnett County Police stated.
