Ekaterina Karaglanova—an Instagram influencer who gained nearly 90,000 follows by posting photos of herself traveling—was found dead on July 26 and stuffed inside a suitcase in her apartment. She was 24.
Variety reports that the Russian Instagrammer had just earned a degree from a Moscow medical school and was gearing up for a trip to celebrate her 25th birthday. Her parents gained access to her apartment after Karaglanova failed to respond to them. They found their daughter in a suitcase with her throat slashed. Police claim they saw no signs of struggle and that no weapon was found at the scene.
Karaglanova’s final Instagram post was a shot of her at a resort in Corfu, which she used to share her preferred method of travel.
“I travel often, but in each country I spend no more than 3-5 days. The longest trip in my life was to Israel with my family, when I was 14 years old,” she said. “We then went on a visit for a whole month, toured the whole country. Now I prefer to travel very often, but shortly.”
Investigators reportedly believe jealousy from a former partner might have led to Karaglanova’s death. They have not named a suspect.
