Woman who allegedly murdered NYC girlfriend, cut her body into 13 pieces and took on her identity arrested 18 years later
Briefly

Angel Thompson was arrested for the murder and identity theft of her girlfriend, Nicole Alston, found dismembered in Georgia in 2007. Authorities identified Alston's remains through DNA evidence in 2023 after a review of the case. Thompson was allegedly involved in an abusive relationship with Alston and trafficked her before the murder. Following Alston's death, Thompson reportedly stole her identity to collect financial benefits. Significant parts of Alston's body were never located, complicating her identification process.
"It took a true sociopath to do what happened here," Clay Bryant, an investigator with the Troup County Sheriff's Department, said.
"We believe this victim was trafficked prior to her murder, that this involved classic domestic violence, where this young lady [Thompson] was basically not going to allow both her lover and, I hate to say such a nasty term, but her cash cow, the person that was bringing her money, go," Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said at the press conference.
