The FBI has identified the deceased woman who was found wrapped in a trash bag off Florida's Gulf Coast last weekend and are now calling her death "suspicious."
Heather Rose Strickland, 34, was the woman who was found floating Saturday off Egmont Key at the mouth of Tampa Bay, the FBI’s Tampa Field Office said.
"Heather Rose Strickland was last seen on December 5, 2022, leaving HCA Florida Largo Hospital at 201 14th Street Southwest in Largo, Florida," the bureau said. "Originally from the North Florida region, Strickland spent the last five years in the Clearwater-St. Petersburg area."
"The FBI is asking the public to assist with any information that helps law enforcement piece together the events that led to Strickland’s death," it added. \
Witnesses said they were spearfishing when they went for a dive. As they headed to the next spot, they found the trash bag. They tried to pick it up but quickly realized it was not trash.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed to FOX 13 that the body of a woman was found wrapped in a plastic trash bag off the coast of Egmont Key, Florida, around 12:40 p.m. Saturday. "The body was found wrapped in bedding in a plastic trash bag," the FBI said, noting the discovery happened 13 miles off the coast.

The FBI has 48 agents working the Idaho murders. It’s disappointing they haven’t had an “obvious” breakthrough on the case like Florida.
It does make me so proud that the FBI saw something suspicious about the situation.
Those FIBbers are geniuses….
“Yeah, I wonder what was their first clue?”
Yeah. Our FBI only hires the brightest and best.
A vacuum packing gone bad?
She went by “Cherry Rose”.
I’m thinking, not based upon fact, that she was involved in drugs and prostitution/escort/stripping.
“”suspicious.””
They obviously have retained Sherlock Holmes for this one.
Took a lot of brain power to figure that one out.
LOL. Yes, Dick Tracy is on the case.
Suicide?
Are they sure?
Hmmm. Seems to me, I once read a book, but I think it was called, the best and brightest. 😆😁🤪😀
