In a disturbing incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, Georgia authorities have revealed that foul play is suspected after the lifeless body of a popular Instagram influencer was discovered near a burnt-out car on Wednesday.
The Cobb County Police Department shared details of the tragic event in a somber Facebook post. The incident began with a call to the Austell Fire Department, reporting a brush fire at the intersection of Joe Jerkins Boulevard and Landers Street. Upon arrival, firefighters were confronted with a scene of intense flames as a car was found fully engulfed. Swift action led to the fire’s extinguishment, and the vehicle was later transported to a wrecker yard for further examination.
Police involvement escalated when officers traced the car’s registration to an address and discovered that the vehicle’s primary driver, 22-year-old Beauty Couch, had not been seen since the previous morning. As the authorities returned to the location where the vehicle was discovered, a harrowing discovery awaited them – a body matching the description of Couch was found in a wooded area nearby.
In a press release, law enforcement indicated that initial investigations have raised suspicions of foul play surrounding the tragic incident. The young woman, known for her passion for dance and rollerblading, had garnered an impressive following of over 150,000 on her Instagram account. Her family, grappling with the loss, spoke fondly of her bright future and the positive impact she had on those around her.
Heartbroken and distraught, Beauty Couch’s mother, Kimberly Couch, expressed her grief and disbelief at the turn of events. “They burned my baby’s car up. They treated her like she was a dog. I don’t like that,” she lamented. The grieving mother also revealed her anguish at not being notified earlier, stressing that both she and Beauty could have joined forces to locate her missing daughter.
