Case History
The victim was located at the Median strip of I-95 at Port Orange, 4.5 miles north of the Volusia/Brevard County line.

Stano told investigators the woman was a prostitute he met on Main Street in 1978 or 1979. He said he choked her to death and took her to the wooded area. Years later, he remembered the slogan on her shirt, ``Do it in the dirt'',  an advertising slogan for a motorcycle manufacturer.

No charges were filed in accordance with a plea agreement.
