And I said, we need to call the police," said Chris Smocer, whose daughter first noticed the black suitcase with a foul odor during a morning walk. The person has not yet been identified. Police have not shared how they believe the victim was killed. The county medical examiner will determine a cause of death.Further information was not immediately available.
