Re: Body Found in Septic Tank Believed to Be That of Missing Florida Toddl
Body Found in Septic Tank Believed to Be That of Missing Florida Toddler
Sunday , November 29, 2009
The body of a child found at the bottom of an uncovered septic tank is believed to be that of a missing Florida toddler, MyFoxTampaBay.com reported.
Luis Martinez, 2, disappeared Friday afternoon from a neighbor's house on Silver Lane in Valrico, Fla. His parents reported him missing at about 3:30 p.m.
Police are waiting for the medical examiner's office to confirm the identity of the body, according to MyFoxTampaBay.com.
Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee said grass was covering most of the tank, which had an opening about 11 inches wide.
"It was a very dangerous situation," Gee told MyFoxTampaBay.com. "You couldn't even see the hole plug — it was missing, probably for several years, and grass had grown over it."
About 400 volunteers helped search for Luis Saturday morning, according to the sheriff.
"Our hearts broke ... just the manner in which this all happened," said Gee.
Hillsborough Sheriff's Col. Greg Brown said earlier Saturday that investigators had identified sex offenders who live within a 5-mile radius of the house where Luis disappeared, which is standard procedure in missing child cases.
Officials from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement conducted interviews at the scene and helped in the search for Luis. Authorities used dogs, horses and helicopters in the hunt for the child on Friday.

I gotta say, what the hell is up with Florida? It seems whenever there is a horrible story about a brutal child killing or anything to do with finding a kid in a septic tank, it happens in Florida.

'Tis true. I've said for years the signs should be changed to "Welcome To Florida... try to survive"
It is the most bizarro state in the union. All kinds of ways to get raped and killed no matter what your age, but sadly kids seem to get the worst, drug running galore, neo-Con facisitic rule, car wrecks, gun fights with dead bystanders, nobody in this state could learn to use a blinker to save their fuckin' life...
Then after ALL of that, you still have to survive lightning strikes, tornadoes and hurricanes.
AND if you get through that, then you face off against rattlesnakes, gators and sharks.
And with all that, retirees FLOCK here.
Just weird ass, and sadly these stories pop up way too much in this state. Just the other day, some guy on Thanksgiving got up from dinner, went outside, got a gun, and walked back in and killed his entire family. Why? Who knows... welcome to Florida.

I know whatcha mean. My whole family for the most part lives here. I'm contemplating on leaving after/during college. It'll probably depend more on where my friends end up though.

If you haven't read any of Carl Hiaasen's novels yet - hit up the Library.
Pretty much everything Axlin mentioned, plus sex, drugs, rock n' roll, Cubans, and the Mafia feature prominently in each of his novels - and they're hilarious.
Native Tongue, Stormy Weather, Lucky You, Sick Puppy, Basket Case and Skinny Dip are all highly recommended.
