Authorities in Rome, Georgia—alongside Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta—are reaching out to the community for assistance as they continue working through a deeply concerning incident uncovered earlier this week.
The individual identified as Kaylee Shackleford, from Powell, Tennessee, was found in the John Graham Homes area near Hull Avenue and Cedar Avenue. Her remains had been concealed beneath several blankets, prompting an immediate and extensive investigation.
A vehicle reportedly observed leaving the location was later found in Bartow County, where partnering law enforcement agencies assisted in safely stopping and securing it for further inquiry.
During a recent bond hearing, officials shared information indicating that Mystique Taylor was accused of causing severe harm to Kaylee through multiple actions involving physical force. The judge noted that these actions resulted in catastrophic injuries. Another individual, Rolanda Edwards, is also facing charges connected to the situation.
Video footage gathered so far suggests that additional people may have been present or may have helped attempt to hide what occurred. Investigators are continuing to analyze this evidence and follow new leads as they surface.
Community support is now a crucial part of helping authorities move forward. Anyone who has useful information—no matter how small it may seem—is encouraged to come forward. Crime Stoppers allows tips to be shared privately, offering a safe and discreet way to assist.
A reward of up to $5,000 is currently available for details that help guide investigators toward a successful resolution.
