BUFORD, Ga. (AP) — Police are trying to identify the remains of a woman whose skull and bones were found in a suitcase along a Georgia interstate northeast of Atlanta.

The investigation into the macabre case began after a state construction worker found the remains July 29.

On Friday, Gwinnett County police released a description of the clothes found along with the remains: a black Miley Cyrus hoodie sweatshirt, size large; black Victoria's Secret pants, small, with "Love Pink" on the leg; and pink 2014 Nike Air Max Cage sneakers, size 7.

Police have said the county medical examiner's office believes the woman was Hispanic or mixed race and between 20 and 30 when she died about six months ago.

A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment.
