The female was located by construction workers on the edge of Sarasota Bay, ten feet off Tidy Island, in the Cortez area, on April 9, 1983. She was found floating face down in about a foot of water. Foul play has not been ruled out, although the medical examiner believed her death was accidental. There was, however, an injury to her head and the sheriff's department is treating the case as suspicious. The location where the female is buried in the Manatee County Cemetery is unknown, as there were no grave markers put in place for indigent burials until 1986. Efforts were made to locate her body in the late 2000s for DNA testing and additional examination but were unsuccessful.
