An 18-year-old Smyrna man faces a malice murder charge after detectives searching a vehicle Friday evening discovered human remains believed to be missing woman Shanteria  KT  Mosley, according to the Smyrna Police Department.

Shanteria Mosley identified, murder charge filed

What we know:

Detectives executed a search warrant on a vehicle Friday evening, Sept. 25, and discovered trash bags inside the trunk. Investigators noted that one tightly wrapped bag outlined a body part, prompting them to contact the Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office.

Once medical examiner staff arrived on scene and opened the bags, they confirmed the presence of human body parts. Based on the investigation to date, police believe the remains belong to Shanteria Mosley, who was known to friends and family as  KT .

Kingston Lammar Bradley, who was already in custody and charged with concealing the death of another, will now also be charged with malice murder.

Man found with torso in Smyrna

The backstory:

Lt. Holt said officers first went to the apartment complex at about 6:57 p.m. Wednesday after receiving a report that the woman's phone and vehicle were there.

An officer remained for about 30 minutes, knocked on doors and spoke with people at the complex. Police said officers did not have information at that time indicating a critical missing person case or immediate danger.

Because the woman had reportedly last been seen in Atlanta, the family was advised to file a missing person report with Atlanta police.

Smyrna police were called back to the complex at about 8:16 p.m. Investiga
