Dead Woman, 2 Live Monkeys Found in Florida Motel Room: Police

Shouldn’t the headline read, “Dead Woman, Two Live Monkeys, and Incoherent Man Found” etc.?

As it stands, the obvious interpretation is that ONLY a dead woman and two live monkeys were found.

Sounds like it WAS her circus.

Sounds like it WAS her circus.

It must have been quite the act.

[Bobalu]

Now this is a strange case!

Call Charlie Chan....or Sherlock Holmes.

Dead person and live monkeys in the room?

I aint goin in there without level IV containment!

[BenLurkin]

Could be that finding incoherent people isn’t exactly news in Florida.

This is a VERY small town on Highway 17 in mid-central FL... a few flat miles north where the land slopes down to the central Everglades. Worked a few months just north of there in Bowling Green FL.

Hint: The local N-S highway is the “Cracker highway” - gives you an idea of the region. Pretty rural, cattle and orchards and phosphate mining. Alligators, mosquitoes, bugs.

Monkey business is suspected.

As always, Florida continues to excel at producing news with major WTF factor.

Gotta be some really GOOD reason why crap like this is being posted on FR still.

[Tax-chick]

Point to you. The dead woman isn’t that unusual, either ... but if they’d mentioned only the monkeys, people might have thought it was an animal-welfare story.

[Tax-chick]

Should we do nothing but fight about the presidential campaign?

[cripplecreek]

And the monkeys ain’t talkin.

[Snark]

If this was in the newspaper 40 years ago, I’d have to blame Led Zeppelin or The Who.

Another party gone sour. Oops!

“Death by Monkeys”

Undead thread potential?

I wonder if they also found a barrel in the room.
