A jury convicted Misty Simone Rowe of concealing the death of another person OCGA § 16-10-31. Rowe appeals, contending that the trial court erred i in denying her motion to suppress statements she made during the on-scene police investigation of the incident at her apartment, and ii in allowing the State to prove the identity of the victim by autopsy fingerprint cards. Rowe also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, arguing that her confession was uncorroborated. Discerning no error, we affirm. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict Drammeh v. State , 285 Ga. App. 545, 546 1 646 SE2d 742 2007, the record shows that on July 18, 2007, the Clayton County Police Department received a 911 call from Rowe’s apartment complex reporting a possible dead body on the premises. Officer Jeffrey Burdette responded to the scene to investigate. On his arrival, the 911 caller, a security guard, informed Burdette that Rowe might have stabbed her boyfriend, John Perry. Shortly thereafter, Rowe arrived in a van with an unidentified individual. Upon seeing her, Officer Burdette questioned Rowe to determine the safety and welfare of Mr. Perry. Rowe told Burdette that she and Perry had been in a verbal and physical fight two weeks earlier in which he had stabbed her in the knee with a knife; that she had taken the knife from Perry and stabbed him; and that Perry had run out of the apartment and returned to New Jersey. Asked about the van’s cargo, a new carpet, Rowe explained that she intended to use it as a replacement for the blood-stained carpet in her apartment which resulted from the couple’s fight. Thereafter, Rowe gave Burdette and Sergeant Anthony Thuman, a second officer who had arrived on the scene, her consent to enter the apartment. Upon doing so, the officers went to Rowe’s bedroom and saw where the blood-stained carpet and underlying carpet pad had been as well as what appeared to be blood along a baseboard.
As the officers exited the apartment, Officer Burdette asked Rowe if she would give a written statement regarding the incident. This Rowe did. Rowe also agreed to go to the county police department for further questioning. Shortly after her arrival at the department, a body was located behind a dumpster near Rowe’s apartment. On learning of this, Detective James Eskew, one of the detectives who had taken her to the department, advised Rowe of her Miranda 1 rights. These Rowe waived and thereafter gave a second written statement in which she described how she stabbed Perry four times, wrapped his body in plastic, and rolled his body downhill to the area of the dumpster.
