Wichita police investigate homicide after woman found in suitcase

Police in Wichita, Kansas, are investigating the death of 68-year-old Lorretta M. Moody as a homicide after her body was discovered inside a suitcase at Fire Station 22. The discovery occurred on a Wednesday evening, shortly after her family had reported her missing earlier that morning.

Two unidentified individuals delivered the suitcase to the fire station and notified officials of the remains inside. Authorities are currently interviewing these two individuals to determine their relationship to Moody and how they came into possession of her body. While the investigation is ongoing, police have stated there is no apparent threat to the general public.

Moody’s family noted that she had severe mobility issues and required continuous supplemental oxygen, as well as daily medication and a walker, all of which she had reportedly left behind when she went missing.
