GBI web
An autopsy performed Monday revealed that a body found in a burned car in Ellabell on Friday is that of a male, but investigators are still awaiting results to determine the persons identity and cause of death. Bill Bodrey, special agent-in-charge of Statesboros Region 5 Georgia Bureau of Investigation office, said the man was found in a burned Nissan Maxima at 11:38 p.m. Friday after Bryan County sheriffs deputies and the Bryan County Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire near the intersection of Olive Branch Road and Heap Road in Bryan County and extinguished the flames. After the body was found inside the car and further investigation took place, the Bryan County Sheriffs Office contacted the Region 5 GBI office for assistance, Bodrey said.
