A FedEx box containing the remains of 32-year-old Jeffrey Merriweather has now been missing for three years, according to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The body of Merriweather, who died in Atlanta in 2019, was first sent to the Fulton County Medical Examiner, then it was shipped to a facility in St. Louis for additional testing, AJC reported. According to local reports, officials wanted to better understand how the body mysteriously decomposed into a "near-complete skeleton" less than two weeks after his suspected murder — but the shipment never arrived.
The incident has caused a stir on Twitter. After the AJC's official account shared the story, FedEx's customer service responded in a since-deleted tweet with, "I am truly sorry you went through this experience. Please send a direct message so I can continue assisting you."
According to local reports, Merriweather's body was found in an abandoned house 10 days after he was reported missing, though police on the scene said they believe he was shot outside a McDonald's nearby as part of a drug deal gone awry.
