TBI officials on Monday remained tight-lipped about the death of an 18-year-old Etowah, Tenn., woman whose body was found on July 4 in a downtown yard.
Family and friends of Kelsey N. Burnette are planning to gather on Sept. 23 to show support for the Burnette family and call for answers in the investigation into the 18-year-old’s disappearance and death.
Burnette’s body was found on Charles Street in downtown Etowah on Independence Day after her family reported her missing to Etowah police on July 1.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation became involved in the case on July 1 when Burnette was reported missing, but state officials have not said why and have elaborated very little on the case since late July.
On Monday, TBI spokeswoman Susan Niland said agents continue to work on the case but there were no details that could be released yet.
