Detectives in Daytona Beach, Fla., are investigating whether a body found wrapped in carpet and duct tape is a serial killer's latest victim in the area, Local 6 News has learned.

A foul odor led a homeowner to the discovery of a body found in a wooded area between Holly Hill and Daytona Beach Monday night.

Local 6 News reported that because the area where the body was found is a known hotspot for prostitutes, investigators are trying to determine if the Daytona Beach serial killer has claimed a fourth victim.

"Three prostitutes have fallen victim to the Daytona Beach serial killer, so investigators are definitely looking into that possibility today," Local 6's Tarik Minor said.

Investigators believe the same person killed Laquetta Gunther, Julie Green and Iwana Patton.

Sources told Local 6 News in an earlier report that all three victims were shot at close range by someone who likely frequents the streets.

Gunther's body was found in an alley on Dec. 26. Green's body was discovered Jan. 14 on a dirt road at a construction site, while Patton was found on a dirt road Feb. 24.

Since the discovery of Patton's body, police have questioned people but the killer remains on the loose.

Forensic experts said vegetation has sprouted up around the body so they have called botanist to examine the grow cycles of the plants. They believe that the amount of growth of the vegetation will give an idea of when the body was dumped in the area.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement removed the body from the woods Tuesday. They hope to provide information about the age, gender and race of the body.

"The Daytona Beach Police Department is definitely involved in this investigation with a possible link to the serial killer," Minor said.

Anyone with information about the discovery is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
