I have bloody sheets, bloody pillowcases. I got everything making of a great case except I'm missing the most important fact. I don't have a body. And without a body body all I got is a lot of suspicion. I'm Scott Weinberger, investigative journalist and former deputy sheriff.

I'm Anaseika Nicholazzi, former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of investigation discoveries true conviction.

And this is anatomy of murder. Today's case, the 1988 murder of George Kehoe comes to us from

Scott's old stomping grounds in South Florida. As I've mentioned, my law enforcement career began in South Florida, and I'm still in close touch with a lot of people that I served with,

including our guests on today's episode who recently told me about a fascinating case that he handled

back in the day.

His name is Phil Amabiel.

He was the lead investigator in a case you won't soon forget. What always fascinates me about cases in that part of the country

is that there are studies in contrast because you think about places like

Fort Lauderdale where this crime took place, you think about sunshine, the beach, the palm trees, but there is a dark side to

South Florida just like everywhere else.

Absolutely, I mean there's crime everywhere of course, but South Florida also seems to attract its

fair share of schemers and hustlers and of course violence and this was

especially true in the 1980s when this crime took place and there might be no better person to talk about it than

Sergeant Phil Amabille who was as you'll hear quite the character himself.

Growing up the Long Island I'm playing Little League Baseball and you always have dreams of grandeur and I'm thinking okay I'm going to play for the New York Yankees.

And I was also a James Bond fan, so I figured I was going to be a secret agent in the off season and play baseball during the season.

So how far did I reach my goal?

Well, I was a homicide detective and I pitched pitched for the railroad sheriff's office softball team.

Of course, I like it that Phil, like me, grew up on Long Island.

He was also the lead-off hitter on a unique investigation that still sticks with him today, one that

brought him from the sunny shores of Florida back to his old home turf of New York.
