Case Description

On the morning May 31, 2004, Angela Nelson-Carroll’s body was found near the Gene Snyder Freeway, close to Dixie Highway in Louisville, KY by a crew picking up trash along the roadway. She did not have identification with her at the time she was discovered. Authorities later identified her as Angela Nelson-Carroll, a young woman from Louisville. Angela’s death was ruled a homicide. Reports state that she died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head and asphyxiation by strangulation. Investigators believe Angela was killed before her body was left near the freeway.
