Atlanta-area authorities suspect foul play in the Wednesday death of Instagram roller-skating influencer Beauty Couch. She was 22.
Cobb County police said Thursday that firefighters responded to a brush fire Wednesday afternoon in the Austell area, where they found a vehicle engulfed in flames.
Police said they went to the address where the vehicle was registered. They learned that Couch was the primary driver, and she had not been seen since the previous morning.
“Austell Police searched the area where the vehicle was found and located a body that matched the description of Beauty Couch in the wood line,” the police statement continued.
The Post has contacted Cobb County police and a rep for Couch for comment.
“She was a sweet girl, she never bothered nobody,” her mother, Kimberly Couch, told WSB-TV.
“She was a friend to everybody. She loved going skating. She loved going to work. She loved her clothes. She loved wearing her hair so pretty.”
Couch, who also went by Beauty Katera, has over 149,000 followers on Instagram. She often shared videos of her skating moves, and she even held her first skate class earlier this month.
Her final Instagram post, on Saturday, was a series of bikini pictures with the caption, “He said I look good in red, might as well call me sexy redd.”
Anyone with information about Couch’s death is asked to contact the Cobb County Police Tip Hotline at (770) 499-4111.
