Shocking! Hate to imagine the circumstances she suffered before her death.

I hope this isn't they high school girl that they've been looking for.

Stowaway preparation gone wrong. Or, somebody's excess luggage improperly disposed. They also have locker and toilet disposals. It is getting creepy here.

In this deadly sweltering heat, the odor must have been intense. I don't have the guts to open the suitcase.

Something like this happened in the Taisho period. It was a famous case. The police managed to solve it because the suitcase turned out to be custom made and still carried its owner's initials. This time it might require some real detective skills.

Yes, CrazyJoe. That's why those guys/gals that work in forensics are some mentally strong individuals. Much respect from me. With this sweltering heat, the body probably poured out of the suitcase.
