 Georgia's Summerville — A woman who was known for searching dumpsters in Chattooga County met a terrible end when she was unintentionally carried away with the trash and was crushed and buried behind a large amount of garbage. She was last seen searching among the garbage cans she frequently visited behind a Family Dollar shop on Commerce Street, where this awful incident occurred.


Officials said the lady, Kimberley Lindsey, had developed a habit of going into trash to find things she could sell or use again. Her family had long been concerned that something bad would happen and knew how dangerous her hobbies were. When she was reported missing on Friday morning, their worries became a reality, and her family immediately began searching for her.


Lindsey's automobile was quickly discovered by family members parked behind the Family Dollar, where she frequently went to rummage through the garbage cans. Nevertheless, the bins were already empty when the deputies arrived. As part of the standard trash management procedure, these had been emptied earlier that morning and transported to the Chattooga County disposal station.


Chief Deputy Kevin Woods and Sheriff Mark Schrader quickly worked with the garbage disposal firm to track down the truck's load. They rushed to the transfer station to catch the gathered trash before it was moved after noticing that Lindsey might have been inside one of the containers as it was being emptied.

Search crews began the grueling process of sorting through layers of compressed rubbish at the transfer site. Workers, armed with safety equipment and excavators, carefully combed the mounds for signs of the missing woman. They searched for several hours before discovering human remains hidden among the trash. Later on, it was confirmed that Kimberley Lindsey was the owner of the body.


According to investigators, she might have been inside the dumpster when the garbage truck unloaded its contents without realizing anything was going on. Although the compaction probably caused serious injuries, authorities are now awaiting the findings of the autopsy to determine the cause of her death. Authorities are looking into the likelihood that the tragic incident was caused by trauma, asphyxia, or substance abuse.


Investigators were told by Lindsey's boyfriend that he had helped her out of another dumpster the day before because she was too impacted by her prescription medication to get out on her own. This time, he said, there was nobody to help her. Investigators are looking into whether impairment had a role in her failure to flee before the truck arrived as a result of this comment.


To reconstruct the entire incident's circumstances, the Chattooga County Sheriff's Office is collaborating closely with the coroner and the medical examiner from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The case is still pending toxicology and autopsy results, despite officials' claims that there are no signs of foul play.
