Was a Body Found in Breonna Taylor’s Car?

On March 13, 2020, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove. The officers were executing a no-knock warrant at Taylor’s apartment in connection with a narcotics investigation.

In the months following Taylor’s death, there were conflicting reports about whether a body had been found in her car. Some witnesses claimed to have seen a body being removed from Taylor’s car, while others said they did not see a body.

In June 2020, the LMPD released body camera footage from the night of Taylor’s death. The footage showed that the officers did not find a body in Taylor’s car.

However, in September 2020, the FBI announced that it was investigating whether a body had been found in Taylor’s car. The FBI said it was following up on a tip that a body had been found in the trunk of Taylor’s car.

In October 2020, the FBI announced that it had completed its investigation and found no evidence to support the claim that a body had been found in Taylor’s car.

Conclusion

There is no evidence to support the claim that a body was found in Breonna Taylor’s car.
