Police name suspect in suspicious Cobb County death

Police have identified a suspect linked to a decomposing body found behind a business in Kennesaw.

Cobb County police said 52-year-old Kennesaw resident Garfield Royes Norris is a suspect in the investigation and faces multiple charges ranging from concealing death to drug possession.

Police said the medical examiner made a "preliminary identification" of the victim, but investigators are working to get a true positive identification as well as notify next of kin.

The dumpster where the body was initially discovered is behind a row of offices and warehouses on Chastain Meadows Court. One of the business owners noticed something out of the ordinary and called 911 Saturday.
