Georgia Scruggs was a hairdresser at A Cut Above (Facebook)
Police identified the woman murdered inside a Lake Highlands/Northeast Dallas area apartment complex last week as Georgia Scruggs, a 58-year-old hairdresser who may have been feuding with a family member.
Last week we reported that Dallas police were trying to track down the killer of a woman whose body was found just after midnight Wednesday at the Walnut Bend Apartments, located in the northernmost section of the Lake Highlands area, near Richland College.
At the time, they would not release the name of the victim, because her next of kin had not been notified. They now have confirmed the body belongs to 58-year-old Scruggs and only that she died from “homicidal violence.”
Scruggs’ coworkers called police when she did not show up to work at A Cut Above Clips in Richardson.
The Morning News reports that she told friends a family member had been acting “crazy,” had tried to burn down her kitchen, and that he was threatening her life.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Crimes Against Persons Division at 214.671.3584.
