Family wants answers after woman found dismembered in landfill

BARTOW COUNTY, Ga. — It was a story that shocked metro Atlanta. Courtney Dubois, 20, was found dismembered in a Bartow County landfill.

But now, four months later, friends and family of the West Virginia woman fear she’s already been forgotten.

“She was a loving, amazing person. Everyone I speak to who knew her said she had a heart of gold,” family advocate Brandi Adcox said.

After months of no arrests in Dubiois' case, Adcox started an online petition to try to pressure investigators in Georgia and West Virginia to not let the case go cold.

"This was a young woman who had her life taken from her way too soon. So we think if people can see that this isn't going to go away, maybe somebody will finally come forward and she can get the justice that she deserves," Adcox said.

She’s already collected the signatures of hundreds of people who want that, as well.

Channel 2's Justin Wilfon checked with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Bartow County Sheriff's Office.

GBI said Dubois' killing remains a joint investigation, but with nothing new to report in the case, Adcox said she'll keep pushing authorities to not forget the young woman.

"I would like to see Courtney get justice. The people or person who did this to her, I want to see them end up in jail. I want to see them lose everything the way that she did," Adcox said.

Dubois disappeared from Fairmont, West Virginia. It’s still unclear how she ended up in Bartow County.
