LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A suburban Atlanta police officer has been charged with concealing the death of a teenage girl whose body was found 6 months after she went missing.
Gwinnett County police arrested Miles Bryant, 22, on Monday, charging him with 1 count of concealing the death of & 1 count of false report of a crime.
In a warrant application, police said Bryant dumped Susana Morales’ naked body in the woods near Dacula after the girl disappeared in July. The skeletal remains of the 16-year-old were found last week & identified based on DNA & dental records. Medical examiners are still trying to determine how she died.
The warrant says Bryant lives near Morales’ last known location. It says police suspect Bryant of rape, murder & other offenses, although the former officer has not yet been charged with those crimes.
In the warrant, police said Bryant falsely filed a police report claiming his gun was stolen after his car was broken into. That accounts for the charge of a false report of a crime.
Bryant had no prior relationship with the 16-year-old, warrants state.
Bryant remained in jail Tuesday after a judge denied him bail. The judge cited investigators’ belief that he is a danger to the community.
Bryant was until Monday a Doraville police officer. The city fired him after he was charged.
Morales went missing on the evening of July 26 when she was walking home from a friend’s house. Detectives have said they believe Morales got into a vehicle. Her body was found more than 20 miles from where she went missing.
