Steff Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Serial Killer May Be To Blame For Daytona Deaths POSTED: 9:12 am EST February 27, 2006 UPDATED: 10:33 am EST February 27, 2006 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A woman's body was found dumped for the third time in two months Friday. Police think it could be the work of a serial killer, WESH 2 News reported. A 45-year-old woman was found murdered in an alley on North Beach Street, another woman was left in a ditch off LPGA Boulevard, and on Friday, the body of a woman was discovered on a dirt road. The police chief was very tight-lipped about it Friday night when asked if they're dealing with a serial killer. All he said was "no comment." Police found the body in a wooded area after getting a very interesting 911 call. Investigators brought out metal detectors to search for evidence after the woman's body was found on the dirt road. Police do not know who she is, and an autopsy will be done to determine the cause of death. But someone else could have those answers. Police want to talk to a man who called 911 to tell them about the body. The man said he passed by, turned around and noticed there was what appeared to be a female lying on the dirt road. Investigators said the mystery caller gave dispatchers an address to a beachside hotel where he could be reached, but they found an empty lot when they arrived. They traced the call to a pay phone at a Kangaroo Express on Mason Avenue, just a few blocks away from the body. Police said they are investigating two other murders that may have similarities. The day after Christmas, Laquetta Gunther's body was found in a fetal position off North Beach Street in Daytona Beach. She had been shot. Two weeks later another body was dumped near LPGA Boulevard. Police will not disclose the cause of death. Anyone with information about the case should call Crimestoppers at (888) 277-TIPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 It's been awhile since we've had a bona fide "Serial Killer". It could be good for the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
