ViCAP Alert

Unidentified Homicide Victim
On June 3, 1978, the victim’s body was discovered in a shallow grave, covered with brush, near Florida State Road 29, just south of the interchange with Interstate 75 (Alligator Alley). The victim’s body was covered with a white substance later analyzed and identified as hydrated or caustic lime, which is used in mortars and cements, as well as for agricultural purposes. Death resulted from blunt force trauma to the head.

Remains Examination
The victim was a white female, approximately 40 to 60 years old, between 5' to 5' 5" tall, and about 176 pounds. She had brown hair and was nude; no jewelry was found on the body. Her eye color could not be determined. Based on the evidence collected, it is suspected that the victim died as a result of homicide. The victim’s NCIC number is U260005490.

Dental Examination
The mandibular section presents with ceramco bridges, porcelain fused to metal from the right lateral through the lower right second molar. The bridge is from the first bicuspid to the second molar. It has two bicuspid pontics suspended in between the cuspid and lateral, both of ceramco materials, are individual units. The lower left side has a similar situation. The left lateral is an individual ceramco unit. The first bicuspid and cuspid are double abutted for a five-tooth bridge, which involves two large bicuspid pontics and a molar ceramco abutment. The victim was relatively free of all periodontal disease. It is estimated that the dental work was done approximately 2 years prior to the time of death. For additional dental information, please contact the investigative agency. A dental chart is available.
