BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- New information released Friday reveal disturbing details about the murder of a retired police officer who disappeared from his home in Palm Bay.

Paul Cadigan's dismembered body was discovered off a rural road in Osceola County on February 8. On Friday, Dianne Parker was jailed for his murder. She is expected to make her first appearance in court on Saturday.

Investigators told Eyewitness News the victim died of multiple gunshot wounds and then was dismembered and scattered along at least two different rural roads in Osceola County.

Parker, 55, is accused of a crime fit for a horror movie. The Malabar woman is accused of murdering retired police officer Paul Cadigan and then using a hunting knife to dismember him, dumping the body parts at the end of a rural road in Osceola County.

Cadigan disappeared on Super Bowl Sunday. Detectives in Osceola County tracked down who he met that day and were led to Dianne Parker's secluded home in Malabar on Weir Street.

Sorry to see Brevard Sheriffs Office handling her, all the law enforcement in that county isn’t a half step above the dregs of society.

Good one.

Speaking of amusing headlines, how about this one from the era of Bill Clinton's presidency?

Clinton Struggles to Pass Something

That's the actual headline from a story in my local newspaper, the clipping of which lies somewhere within the debris field which is my workroom.

it looks like the lovechild of Helen Thomas and Chris Matthews.

GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little Ex-Lax will help with that.

No doubt about it.

I thought the headline indicated the woman had been found dismembered.

Me too. And I thought "(She's obviously guilty)" was sarcasm, since she couldn't have done the deed without arms. Turns out, it's just FR justice that convicts her based on her otherworldly frightening appearance.

The reporter must have been tired or something - calling the suspect the victim! ;-)

"Eyewitness News spoke to the victim's 81-year-old mother in New York State early Friday evening. She said she hadn't talked to her daughter in a decade, because of a fight over the pigeons Parker allowed to fly freely in her Malabar home.

Eyewitness News checked and Parker has no prior criminal history, but learned she had a Massachusetts mailing address in the 1990s, when the victim was a police officer in the same state."
