The family of a woman whose body was found in Yellow River Park were able to identify her from pictures of tattoos shared to social media.
GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — Gwinnett police have identified a woman found dead in a Stone Mountain park as Tori Lang, 18, of Lithonia, thanks to social-media posts of her tattoos.
Lang was discovered Wednesday morning under a tree at Yellow River Park, “deceased from apparent gunshot wounds,” according to a Gwinnett police spokesperson.
Four tattoos helped identify her: “Faith makes all things possible” on the left side of her neck, a heart and cross with the date 8-16-07 on the right side of her neck, red lips with the number 222 on the back of her neck, and what appeared to be Roman lettering with the date 9-16-2002 on her wrist. The victim’s family saw online posts of the tattoos and notified authorities.
