So far, sounds like the only one cooperating is the youngest.

Why is anybody out of jail with 250 felony charges? Surely he must have been convicted of at least some of them.

Tony Wiggins was first arrested at age 12 and has a history of 230 felony charges and 15 convictions, Judd said.

Some very scary folks live In the woods “off the grid,” as the sheriff put it. These aren’t preppers hiding out...they’re too criminal or too crazy to live with normal human beings.

I had a friend who had a terrifying encounter with some of these people while riding her horse in a national forest here...some of them hole up in the National Forests, and Florida has a lot more forest service land and simply remote, abandoned rural property than most people would think.

Yep. The interior of the state is way different than the coasts. That makes for interesting touring driving from the Atlantic coast to gulf areas, though.

Places like Polk county will soon be majority Hispanic. The trailer types involved in this murder are a relic of times past.

Your comment makes me think of the Keddie murders in northern California, never solved, although I believe locals have their suspicions.

Three young people murdered, along with the mother of two of them; the target seems to have been one an unusually attractive thirteen-year-old female named Tina Sharp.

Three dead at the scene. The forth — Tina — wasn't found until three years after the murders were committed. She had been abducted and her remains were found about 80 miles from the main crime scene.

Also reminds me of the "Speed Freak Killers," who though not exactly "off the grid" were well-known badasses who terrified the people who lived near them in San Joaquin County, California until they were arrested and imprisoned in 1999. The number of people they killed is not known, but could be in the mid to high double digits. They essentially killed for fun.

It’s both but meth makes you hallucinate and that’s what he appeared to be doing when he hammered Kevin about the whereabouts of his truck.

“he was walking free with 230 felony criminal charges in his arrest history”

It was scheduled to happen

“Do y’all know anything about Polk County? “

I had a college roommate for a semester who was from Polk Co. From the way he talked there was one city and the rest of it was mostly orange groves.

I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often (if the rumor is true).

Lakeland’s airport is home of the NOAA Hurricane Hunters. Lakeland seems to be the major “city” area of county I think?

His criminal history includes 230 felonies. It was tips from the community that directed the Polk County Sheriff’s Office to this known community criminal.

Law enforcement, which has ALL the records of this guy's extensive criminal history, had to be "tipped off" by the peasants.

You can't make this Mitt up.

Do these states no longer have 3 strike laws I would think that 230 strikes would put this monster behind bars forever!!

One of the thugs had 230 felony convictions, started his criminal career when he was 12, and was out on bail after breaking a man’s arm with a crowbar.

Tell me again about supposed mass incarceration, and that we have all these innocent dope-smokers languishing in prisons for years? The truth is that we don’t keep criminals in prison nearly long enough. Some get out after serving only a few years for murder. Once again, the liberal narrative is false.
