THOMASTON, Ga. — A man is facing murder charges after police said he allegedly killed his girlfriend and stuffed her body in a suitcase.
The investigation began Saturday at 7:30 a.m. when Thomaston officers were called to West County Road in regard to a missing person.
Police said Margret Dubignon, also known as “Mellow Yellow,” was reported missing by family members. Loved ones told authorities they had not seen or spoken with Dubignon since Thursday.
Officials said a welfare check was conducted with family members at Dubignon’s apartment, but she was not found.
Thomaston Police said they were filing the missing person’s report and learned that Freddrick Durham, Dubignon’s boyfriend who lived with her, was also not at the apartment and Dubignon’s car was missing.
The department said it was placing Dubignon on the Georgia Crime Information Center as a missing person when officers were called back to the apartment around 9 a.m.
Thomaston officials said family members found a body believed to be Dubignon inside a large suitcase in the closet of her apartment. The Upson County coroner confirmed the body in the suitcase was Dubignon.
Thomaston investigators believe Durham took Dubignon’s vehicle and was now considered a homicide suspect.
Within two hours, the Atlanta Police Department and Georgia State Patrol tracked the car to an undisclosed location in Atlanta and took Durham into custody.
Durham has been charged with felony murder, concealing a death, tampering with evidence, and theft by taking a motor vehicle. Additional charges may be forthcoming pending further investigation.
“This was a horrific crime and an extremely painful event, yet the family, in spite of their emotions, were incredibly composed, supportive and cooperative throughout today’s investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with them,” Thomaston Police Department wrote on Facebook.

He didn’t have enough money to get to France?
Or did he just not get that far in Ira Einhorn’s book?
suitcase = steamer trunk
The Soros DA will give the guy 5 years off his sentence for tidiness.
Maybe he was mad about Saffron.
Delusional.
He murdered his wife on Sunday, and he’s still on the loose.
” I don’t know what technology provides that info but I’m glad it’s there.”
probably license plate readers throughout the road system integrated with automatic route tracking software ...
Nope
Maybe she always wanted to see Atlanta.
Thomaston is a small town with a bunch of awesome country folks.
I know it well and have been pastoring a church there for almost four years.
