Book Cover & Preview Text
An unusual 911 call was received by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Communication’s Center. The caller stated; “There’s a body lying on Palm Lake Drive. I know he’s dead because I’m the one who killed him.” The caller then hung up. The Communication’s Dispatcher immediately notified the Patrol Deputy, who was assigned to that area, to respond to the scene and conduct the initial investigation. The street was identified as being in Bithlo, on the East side of Orlando. As a precautionary measure, an ambulance was also requested to respond. The ambulance was at the scene when the deputy arrived. The paramedic was attending to an adult male who was lying off to the side of the roadway. The Paramedic told the deputy that he could confirm, without any doubt, the male was deceased. He then drew the deputy’s attention to two small holes in the back of the victim’s head.
