Sketch Released In 'Mafia-Style' Murder

UPDATED: 11:16 am EDT August 31, 2006

Authorities in Orange County, Fla., released a sketch of a man who was found duct-taped and strapped to a tire in a lake, according to Local 6 News.

"This was a mysterious mafia-style murder ," Local 6's Louis Bolden said. "And frankly, police are still puzzled at what to do."

Investigators said a fisherman found the body Tuesday near a pier at the Randolph boat ramp at Little Lake Conway.

"He just found a trailer tire floating in the water and there was a body duct-taped to it," a resident said.

"Not only was the victim's body found duct-taped to a tire but sources told Local 6 that the man had been shot, in the back and in the head, before being dumped," Bolden said.

"That is why this thing is kind of a provocative case," Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said.

Detectives said the victim was a white man between 30 and 40 years old with black hair and brown eyes.

A neighbor where the body was found said they have seen a recent increase in crime in the area.

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