dancers.

As they ran through a field chasing a parachute, they discovered a horrible sight.

The nude decomposed body of a young woman.

She was lying face down with her hands bound behind her back.

A cord was wrapped three times around her neck like a leash.

Under her body, Lea White silk scarf tied in a knot.

He could have killed this woman with a lot less trauma, but the deepness of this bruise,

the prominence of this bruise indicated that he applied a lot more force than it was necessary

to end this woman's life.

He was vialed.

The victim was identified as 20-year-old Lana Long, an exotic dancer who worked at the Sly Fox

Lounge in Tampa.

her for three days.
