A Georgia police officer who was fired after being accused of the 2022 kidnapping and murder of 16-year-old Susana Morales was found guilty Wednesday and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Miles Bryant, now 23, was convicted as charged, with the exception of an acquittal for attempted rape. Kidnapping, false report of a crime, felony murder, and malice murder offenses, however, led Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Tamela Adkins to send him to prison for the rest of his days on earth.

The case against Bryant garnered significant local and national coverage after it was alleged that the then Doraville police officer kidnapped Morales in late July 2022 as she walked home in Norcross from a friend’s house, murdered her, “dumped her naked body in the woods” in Dacula along Highway 316, and then lied that his gun was stolen when someone broke into his Ford F-150.
