Authorities discovered the burning body of an Alabama woman who went missing while reportedly heading to make a Facebook Marketplace purchase, according to local police.
The woman, identified as Jermiera Ivory Fowler, 31, had not been seen since the afternoon of May 31, police said in a news release Thursday. Birmingham police said they are now investigating the case as a homicide. Officers responded Thursday after 9 p.m. to a report of a burning body. Law enforcement and the Birmingham Fire Department found an unresponsive woman on fire, according to the release.
The fire department pronounced Fowler dead, and it was later discovered she had been shot, police said. Birmingham resident Herbert Brown told CNN affiliate WVTM he was in disbelief about burning incident that occurred behind his home. “I thought, Lord, who would do something like this?” Brown told WVTM. He spotted flames from his bedroom window and assumed someone was burning garbage, he said, according to WVTM.
