Unidentified Remains – West Summerland Key, Florida
Attention: Homicide/Missing Persons/Crime Analysis Units
Found on February 15, 1991, in West Summerland Key, Florida
10/6/2016
On Friday, February 15, 1991, the remains of a Caucasian female, approximately 16 to 25 years old, were found in woods near the “Horseshoe” recreation area, located south of the Bahia Honda Channel Bridge in West Summerland Key, Florida. She was seen hitchhiking on U.S. 1 at mile marker 17 in Big Coppitt Key the day before.
The victim was sexually assaulted and murdered. It is suspected that she was not from the area due to her choice of clothing and lack of tan lines. An autopsy report surmised that she may have carried a baby to full term. Additionally, the victim suffered from ovarian and fallopian tube cysts, adhesions to her uterus, and chronic pelvic inflammation. Due to expected abdominal pain, she may have sought medical attention.

On November 10, 1985, the unidentified remains of an adult female (victim 1) and a juvenile female (victim 2) were discovered in a 55-gallon metal barrel covered with a tarp. They were located in a wooded area behind a trailer park adjacent to Bear Brook State Park near Allenstown, New Hampshire. Victim 1 is a white female aged 22 to 33, and victim 2 is a white female aged 5 to 11. On May 9, 2000, a second barrel was discovered approximately 100 yards from the first with the skeletal remains of victims 3 and 4. Victim 3 is a white female aged 2 to 4, and victim 4 is a white female aged 1 to 3. All four victims were killed between 1980 and 1985 and possibly as early as 1977. DNA analysis revealed that victim 1 is the mother of 2 and 4. Victim 3 is not maternally related to victim 1, yet there is a possibility of paternal relationship to the other juveniles. All four victims likely were living in the same area for the last 2 to 3 months of their lives.
