This body was discovered in a suitcase in Los Angeles. No further info. If a body has been buried or if remains have been found in a suitcase, sack, or the like, then all objects that have been used to conceal the body or for wrapping are of special interest in the investigation. With such discoveries, if found indoors, the floor, walls, and ceiling of the place should be examined for bloodstains and objects should be looked for that might be supposed to have been used in connection with the crime.
