(CNN) — Police in Florida have released reconstructed photos of an unidentified woman whose remains were found in suitcases along the Intracoastal Waterway in Delray Beach earlier this month.

In total, detectives found three suitcases along Delray Beach, 9 miles north of Boca Raton, filled with human remains – one floating in the water and a short time later, two more at nearby locations along the beach.

Delray Beach police were called to the scene on July 21 after someone reported “seeing something strange in the intracoastal waterway,” they said in an online statement. Authorities believe the victim was murdered sometime between July 17 and July 20.

While details are limited, police say the victim is a White or Hispanic middle-aged woman with brown hair, approximately 5’4” tall, who may possibly have had tattooed eyebrows and was wearing a floral tank top by the Brazillian brand “Betzabe” with a black undershirt and black mid-thigh shorts.

Police released an artist rendering of what the victim may have looked like, along with images of two of the “unique” suitcases her remains were found in – a purple Palm Springs Ricardo Beverly Hills bag and a green and black polka dot Charlie Sport bag.

Authorities are asking the public to look at the renderings and for residents who live along the Intercoastal Waterway to check their home video surveillance cameras to see if they captured anything.
