“naked with gunshot”
Good name for a piece of modern art.
He doesn’t live there anymore, the property is pretty much abandoned. Someone snuck in there and posted some photos of what it looks like now. Pretty run down.
Yeah, I’m leaning that direction now as well. I guess removing the guy’s clothes would slow down the identification process.
I’m sorry I don’t know. I was speculating and it’s been many years since I’ve been there. The police usually won’t release too many details about an active investigation.
I would be looking for the clothes,either in trash at marinas or floating at sea.
...and boat launches. I’d start right at Burt Reynolds Park.
Yes I think he really PO’d some one big time..Looks drug related to me
Nah.....This boat wasn’t trailered it was tied up at a Marina and this guy was a guest on board and they went for a little ride.Happens al the time only they don’t float back to the top
I think that photo at post #37 tells a lot
Homosexual or trans-sexual encounter gone wrong?
Gay play?
Found naked and shot. Sounds like suicide but no gun?
If it was a suicide the lack of clothes would be normal on a beach setting, I think.
I think I recall some natural death with separated heads or bullet holes and tied up in Arkansas a few years ago.
