Body Found In Hardee
By JOE SEELIG
FORT GREEN SPRINGS — Hardee County Sheriff’s Office investigators have identified the body of a woman discovered about 1:30 p.m. Monday, north of Fort Green Springs.
Her identity is being withheld pending notification of her next of kin.
The woman’s body was discovered by an employee of the Florida Gas Transmission Company as he was inspecting the gas line in the vicinity of State Road 663 and S.R. 664.
Investigators believe her body had been there about three to four days.
According to the report, released Tuesday, the sheriff’s office is classifying this as a homicide.
“Our investigators are following some leads,” said sheriff’s Maj. Claude Harris on Wednesday, but they were not ready to release the cause of death.
Harris did not believe the dead woman was from Hardee County.
Her body was found outside of Fort Green Springs more than 1,000 feet from the paved road, Harris said.
