38岁英国公民伊丽莎白-珍·罗斯的遗体于7月18日正午在雅典基普塞利区一处废弃停车场的行李箱内被发现[1]。罗斯曾在美国生活和工作，于6月26日抵达雅典度假[1]，在7月15日后与朋友失去联系[1]。病理学家估计她死亡后数天才被发现，初步检查未发现明显伤口或搏斗迹象[1]。
希腊警方为此案投入60多名凶杀科侦探进行调查[1]。警方发言人康斯坦蒂娜·季莫格利杜表示："我们整个希腊FBI凶杀科日夜不懈地处理此案"[1]。然而死因至今未确定[1]。行李箱的DNA分析未发现可与嫌疑人关联的证据[1]，而更令人困惑的是，罗斯的手机在她死后数天仍被他人使用并发送信息[1]。警方推断行李箱在被发现前不超过48小时在犯罪现场，死者可能在基普塞利附近死亡[1]。
A 38-year-old British citizen, Elisabeth-Jane Ross, was discovered dead inside a suitcase at an abandoned parking lot in the Kypselis district of Athens on July 18 [1]. Ross had arrived in Athens on June 26 for a vacation and was last in contact with friends on July 15 [1]. Greek homicide detectives have deployed over 60 investigators to the case, yet the circumstances of her death remain unclear [1].
According to a pathologist's assessment, Ross died several days before her body was found, and initial examination revealed no obvious wounds or signs of struggle [1]. Police spokesperson Konstantina Dimoglidou stated: "Our entire Greek FBI homicide unit is working around the clock on this case" [1]. Investigators believe the suitcase was placed at the crime scene no more than 48 hours before discovery, and suspect Ross may have died near the Kypselis area [1].
Adding to the mystery, DNA analysis of the suitcase yielded no evidence linking it to potential suspects [1]. Most perplexing is that Ross's mobile phone was used and sent messages several days after her death [1], raising questions about who had access to her device during the days between her disappearance and the discovery of her remains.
