The victim's partial skeleton was located on Richards Road, just East of CR951, off Immokalee Road, in the Golden Gate Estates, in Naples, Florida on April 14, 2004. The right tibia and fibula and some bones of hands and feet were missing.
She was found buried in a shallow grave, wrapped in a plastic green shower curtain in a field. The bones showed evidence of plant root growth and rodent gnawing. No perimortem trauma observed. The case is, however, listed as a homicide.
A deputy stopped on Richards Street to use his cellular phone, got out of his car and walked into an open field to get better reception and, as he walked back to his car, he discovered the remains.
