Implants may help identify woman
By Times staff writer
Published March 8, 2007
A dead woman's breast implants may help Tampa police identify the decomposing body found in a shallow grave Tuesday outside a North Tampa company. Maj. George McNamara said forensic investigators will try to use identification marks inside the implants to identify the woman. Police also are seeking the public's help. She is described as white, in her 20s or 30s, 5 feet 4 or 5 feet 5, with shoulder-length blond/brown hair, normal teeth, red toenail polish and a bandage on her left ring finger. Police believe she had been buried for three or four weeks. They are investigating her death as a homicide. She was found topless, wearing a Size 4 short blue denim skirt from American Eagle Outfitters. Police have been unsuccessful in matching her fingerprints, and she does not fit the description of missing person reports in Tampa, Hillsborough County or Pinellas County. Workers at the Sweeping Company of Florida, 2110 N 71st St., told police they first noticed a mound of dirt outside their building about three or four weeks ago. The smell had become overwhelming by Tuesday, and a worker dug it up. The worker called police as soon as he realized he had unearthed a human body. Police are not yet saying how she died.

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
