More Details On The Disappearance & Identification Of Nicole Alston
According to Carter, Angel Thompson convinced Nicole Alston, who was born with dyslexia, to relocate with her from New York to Atlanta, Georgia. Then, ten days before she went missing, Nicole’s mother, Sylvia Alston, received a phone call from her. Per DA Fani Willis, Nicole alleged to her mother that Thompson had become abusive toward her. Per Carter, that was the last phone call Sylvia received from Nicole.
That phone call was made in November 2007. Then, the following month, the black bag was discovered. Furthermore, the body inside was found without a head, hands, or feet.
“They found 13 pieces of her body. But they were not able to identify her… because until this day, we still have not been able to find her hands, her feet, or her head,” DA Fani Willis recently told the press.
In 2023, the case was sent for DNA analysis, and the body was revealed to be Nicole’s.
