Martinez was found wrapped in “black plastic bags, his arms were tied behind him, and his feet were submerged in poured concrete,”

Sure do miss the good old days.
Damnedest case of suicide I ever saw.
There ya go. Mystery resolved.
poinq, see post #39. Lookin’ now as though the perps should have left not only the tape back at the hideout, but the plastic bags too.
When I was a kid, police and fire officials found a fifty gallon drum among bridge pilings in the canal twixt Miami Springs and Hialeah. A woman’s body had been stuffed inside and the drum filled with cement.
The perp turned out to be a popular men’s store owner who, at trial, claimed the woman had unwantedly come on to him in his home, and he’d struck her with a lamp.
Panicked, as he claimed, that he’d killed her, he recruited a couple of high school boys he knew, who helped him dump the barrel in the canal, claiming to them it contained...I can’t recall...old auto parts, or something.
The jig was up however when after the barrel was found, and one or both of the kids copped to having helped the guy dump it, considerably downstream from the bridge.
He was charged with first degree murder, but beat the rap as his panic defense was bought by the jury. If I recall correctly, he claimed he was a homosexual, and that the woman would not take his no for an answer.
My family would not let my brothers and I go into his store after that, and IIRC, he went out of business soon thereafter.

Suicide?
That’s unlikely. Looks like the perp stole
more cement that he could swim with.
Gosh,never thought of that!
O no, the anit-Trump groups are going to blame Donald Trump
What was the name of the store.Think I was at the CG base in Opalocka when that happened
It was “The Clothes Closet”, and it was on “The Circle” in Miami Springs. I don’t remember the guy’s name though.
