The San Francisco Bay will forever have a black cloud over its name, after the bodies of two high-profile murder victims were found floating within its waters. Laci Peterson and Imette St. Guillen were both pregnant at the time of their deaths. Now another woman in the same age group as these two has been found dead, and the details surrounding the discovery are quite gruesome.
On Tuesday the body of a slain female was found in a suitcase floating
in the bay off the Embarcadero in San Francisco, police announced earlier today. According to the S.F. Chronicle, a young child walking on the waterfront's roadway noticed the suitcase and alerted a relative, who then called authorities. Police are treating the case as a homicide, although a cause of death hasn't been determined yet. Investigators have revealed that they believe the unidentified woman is a white or light-skinned Latina who appears to be in her 30's.
Lt. Mike Stasko stated in the Chronicle's article that the suitcase had probably been in the water for only a couple of days, based on the body's condition.
