Angel Marie Thompson (Troup County Sheriff’s Office). FULTON COUNTY, Ga. – Nearly two decades after a gruesome discovery on a rural Troup County roadside, a woman now faces an 80-count indictment for allegedly murdering her girlfriend and stealing her identity for years. The indictment against Angel Marie Thompson, filed Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court, includes charges of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, concealing a death, and dozens of counts related to fraud and identity theft. Thompson was arrested on Aug. 19, 2024, for concealing the death of Nicole Alston. The case dates back to Dec. 6, 2007, when Troup County deputies discovered a black bag burning at the corner of Whitfield Road and Stitcher Road with partially burned human remains; however, the hands, feet, and head were missing. It wasn't until December 2023 that a DNA match confirmed the remains belonged to 24-year-old Alston, who last resided in Manhattan, New York. Nicole Alston’s body was found in 2007. (FOX 5) Investigators learned that Alston had left Atlanta in 2007 to live with Thompson in Manhattan. Thompson was wanted in New York at the time for theft and identity fraud
