A body believed to be a missing Florida woman was found buried inside a septic tank at her home and the handyman has been charged with her murder.
Cynthia Cole,57 was last seen on February 24 at a Jammin’ Jensen event in downtown Jensen Beach.
Late Friday Martin County Sheriffs found a body believed to be that of Cole inside a septic tank inside her home.
Authorities were searching Cole’s home when they noticed a septic tank lid wasn’t sitting right.
After excavating the backyard for hours they found the body buried about 4 feet underground.
Authorities found Cole’s car walking distance from Keoki Demich’s home on Friday.
Further investigating and reviewing of surveillance footage led officers to Demich arrest.
Demich was a handyman that had been working for Cole. He was arrested and charged with second degree murder.
Medical Examiner’s are working to positively identify the woman.
Detectives are working to establish a motive. An autopsy will also be performed to determine the actual cause of death.
Do you have any video of that? I’d like to
find out some additional information.
