Greek authorities and Police Scotland are investigating the death of 38-year-old Scottish tourist Elisabeth-Jane Ross.
Her body was discovered inside a suitcase in a derelict building in the Kypseli neighborhood of Athens on July 18.

A homeless man found the luggage containing Ross's remains. Investigators estimate she died five to seven days before the discovery.
Greek police report no visible external evidence on the body or suitcase to immediately identify a third party.
However, they suspect she was killed nearby and moved to the location on foot.
Authorities are examining suspicious mobile phone activity.
Text messages were sent from Ross's phone on July 15 to family and friends stating she needed time alone.
Investigators believe these were sent by another individual to mislead searchers.
Family Tributes and Investigation
Family members paid tribute to the victim while questioning the circumstances surrounding her sudden death abroad. "It is horrific.
We just can't believe it. She was such a beautiful, loving and kind young lady," said Anne Bangham, her aunt.
Bangham noted that Ross had only recently arrived in the country for work opportunities before going missing. "I wish I could get my hands on whoever did it.
She had not long arrived there to work. It will take a while to sink in," she added.
Ross had initially traveled from Edinburgh to Greece on June 29.
She stayed with friends in the Athens suburb of Keratsini before meeting American friends in Kypseli on July 15.
