Greek police are searching for a 24-year-old woman’s mobile phone and personal belongings as they investigate her death after her bound body was discovered inside a suitcase in a narrow street in central Athens.

The woman, identified as Aramata, was found in the Agios Panteleimonas neighborhood. Her body was folded into a fetal position and bound, according to the forensic examination. The cause of death has not yet been determined.

Investigators are focusing on two key questions: whom she contacted after returning to Athens from the island of Folegandros, and how the person who abandoned the suitcase reached the spot where it was found.

A passerby alerted authorities after noticing the woman’s fingers protruding from the suitcase. Police have since been examining security camera footage, taking witness statements and searching the surrounding area for evidence that could help establish the route taken by the person who left it there.

Final days before her disappearance

Investigators are reconstructing the period between Oct. 28 and Nov. 4, seeking to establish whom Aramata met and what happened in the days before she disappeared.

She returned to Athens on Oct. 28 after completing work commitments on Folegandros. That evening, she met a friend from Cameroon and reportedly told him she planned to meet another person for coffee in central Athens.

Her whereabouts became unknown the following day. Five days later, on Nov. 4, the friend went to the Kypseli police station to report her missing.

Police have found no evidence so far linking the man to her death, according to reports. Investigators are nevertheless examining her contacts and seeking to identify anyone who may have information about what happened.

Phone records and suitcase route under scrutiny

Police consider the woman’s mobile phone records particularly important to the investigation, including calls she made and received in the hours before she disappeared.

Authorities are also examining whether the person who transported the suitcase approached the location from nearby. Officers are searching the wider area and reviewing surveillance footage in an effort to reconstruct the movements of whoever left the body there.

Investigators are continuing to seek the woman’s phone and other personal belongings, while working to establish her final contacts and the circumstances surrounding her death.
