Greek police are investigating the death of Elisabeth-Jane (Elizabeth Jane) Ross, a 38-year-old woman from Scotland, whose body was found in a suitcase in Athens. Multiple outlets report that the investigation centres on her reported plans to meet an American group before she was found. BBC and other coverage say police are looking for “American friends” Ross may have been due to meet, following statements she made to acquaintances in the days before her death. According to reports, Ross told friends she was leaving to meet people from the United States about three days before her body was discovered.
The BBC and other sources place the discovery on 18 July in an abandoned building in the Kypseli district of Athens. Police inquiries include tracing the identity and whereabouts of the individuals Ross reportedly intended to meet, amid uncertainty about her movements and whether her account to friends was accurate. Investigators have not indicated a confirmed cause of death in the provided reports, and the case is described as ongoing.
