...burned the body, buried him in the back yard, and laid concrete over the area.

Been missing three years, but wife never reported it. Friend finally asked for a wellness check and BOOM!

Home search, cadaver dog, digging, etc. Found an arm bone yesterday...

1.2 miles from me as the crow flies, directly behind my house. Watched the helicopters all day yesterday. There are essentially no houses between me and the subject property, just swamp, woods and fields. When I saw the sheriff helicopter flying slowly and searching the area, I broke out the AR and binocs to make sure they weren't chasing a fugitive my way. Soon after that, the news reported the missing man and the digging.

Geeze. And I bet you just thought they were having a cookout that day.

Wow.

Guess it's a good thing you were nice to her...

Strange. There is more to this story. I guess everybody bought the story that he was busy and could not be disturbed. Unusual in this day and time.

Any idea of the ages of the woman and missing man? Just curious is all.

These days with direct deposit and automatic payment there are cases where people have been deceased for months before it was known.

Sure it you are a recluse or something. I notice when people on this board do not post for a few weeks. The guy sounds like he had few friends and probably no employment. Where I live there are lots of nosy folks who like to get in others business. Where I grew up in Chicago it was a different story.

Guess he didn't have any friends or family?

No contact all of a sudden and they think everything is okay?

About two miles from me an adopted daughter and her boyfriend killed her parents, then burned the bodies at a fire pit at a local beach. This was called the BBQ murders. Sometimes adopted children are evil, sometimes it is inherited from a bad parent, which happened to a freind of mine. He adopted an infant who only met his biologial father a few times, but the kid was constantly in and out of Juvenile Hall.

Someone I know went to high school with the guy, says he was not a bad person. However he was always 300 lbs, this was his first GF, and she manipulated him into killing the parents. She, being 16 yo, was let out of prison at 21. He is in for life.


"On Saturday, June 21, 1975, following another argument with her mother, Marlene Olive telephoned Riley and told him, "Get your gun, we've got to kill the bitch today". She arranged to go out with her father, leaving her mother home alone and leaving a door unlocked through which Riley could then enter and kill her mother. Riley, who was carrying a loaded .22 caliber revolver and later said he had taken LSD,[11] entered the house where Naomi Olive was sleeping.

Afterward, Riley told police that he had struck Naomi Olive "many times" with a hammer (a statement he later recanted under hypnosis) and also stabbed and suffocated her.[1] While Riley was still in the house, Jim Olive returned, saw his wife lying in bed covered with blood, picked up a knife, and started toward Riley, exclaiming, "I'll kill you". Riley drew his gun and shot Jim Olive four times, killing him.[1][4][7]

Marlene Olive and Riley tried to dispose of the bodies by transporting them to a wooded area at nearby China Camp[12] and burning them in a barbecue pit with gasoline and logs in an attempt to make them unrecognizable. The couple left while the bodies were still burning. A fireman who arrived shortly thereafter to put out the unattended fire initially mistook the partially burnt remains for a deer carcass. The couple later returned to the park and further burned the remains along with additional evidence.

With a friend, the couple cleaned up the room where the killings had taken place, removing blood from the carpet, walls, and furniture.[13] They confided in the friend who helped clean and in several other friends that they had killed the Olives, with Riley physically carrying out the killings. Riley told friends, "We had to do it. They wouldn't let me see her."[1] Marlene Olive and Riley continued to live together at the Olives' house for several days, attending a Yes concert, shopping, eating at restaurants, and paying their expenses using cash, checks, and credit cards taken from her dead parents. They allegedly planned to wait for Jim and Naomi to be declared dead, collect the life insurance money, and move to Ecuador."

Scams running for a few months are child's play. I had a "dead grandma" benefits fraud case where the suspect concealed the beneficiary's death for more than twenty years. In many cases, turning off the spigot of SS/VA/OPM benefits requires an affirmative report from a family member. Occasionally, the .gov will proactively follow up on all of the 110-year-old recipients.

He was 35 or 36 when he went missing. I have read a report that although there was no action on his cell phone or bank accounts, that his Facebook page was repeatedly updated.

He and the wife had a domestic dispute some time before he disappeared which involved wrestling over a .40 cal automatic. He got arrested for it, but that isn't unusual. I also think there were two kids from the marriage.

Lots more to find out about this mess.

So that's why you were busy with workmen on Thursday....

For some reason I imagined the couple was much older.

Dunnno. Haven't seen pictures of her yet. She is only just a "person of interest" so far so no official pix.

I'm betting that MikeGLI is right, though.

Didn't something similar happen to a guy who won the Florida lottery years ago.
I think it was a friend who did this and she some how took control of his money before he was killed.
I think it was it the Tampa area.

Had a friend whose husband supposedly "ran off". He was an abusive, nasty character that no one missed.

Couldn't help but note that she had a nice freshly-poured concrete patio slab in her backyard about a week later. Jus sayin'.

Saw a report on this on my local news earlier. I'm in the Fl. Panhandle
