FL FL - Lauren Brittney Dumolo, 29, Cape Coral, 19 Jun 2020

You are right. My apologies. The person who linked the post on another site, put in the wrong location, showing somewhere near Marco Island and I (stupidly) assumed her info was correct and copied the Namus link without verifying.

The distance doesn't eliminate this IUD as a possibility in my opinion. I'm just pointing out that it is a few hours drive. It would be a long way with plenty of suitable dumping locations in between. MOO

The Sheriff’s Office said they found the remains off Pine Island Rd. in North Fort Myers, but earlier this week a Fox 4 viewer called us, saying he saw deputies pulling a body out of the woods off of Pine Island Rd. near the intersection with U.S. 41 Business.

That means the expanse of woods off of that section of Pine Island Rd. may have been the final resting place of Lauren Dumolo.

"Everybody was talking about they had found a body, and I guess they had it roped off or something so they couldn’t get back there," said Elkins.

According to the police report, deputies responded on October 5th to a location where they found something, but it doesn’t say what or where.

But the description from Cape Coral Police Chief Anthony Sizemore fits that location.

"It was a wooded area in unincorporated Lee County in North Fort Myers," said Sizemore.

We also found police caution tape left back in the woods. Elkin said that's an area where many homeless individuals camp.

"The fact that she was back there where they camp, we don’t know what really happened to her," said Elkins.

At this time, we don’t have confirmation that the skeletal remains are in fact Lauren Dumolo. Sizemore said they are asking any dentists that worked on her teeth in the past 10 years to contact them.

"If you could let us know if she was a patient, we will take care of getting the requisite court orders to get that dental information and make that identification," said Sizemore.

"I personally spoke with Lauren’s father yesterday to let him know about the discovery, to hear it from us, and to also hear it from me to show him that, the gravity of the situation that, although it is not confirmed, we cannot do that, we do believe it’s promising," said Sizemore.

"I hope that they did find her, and they can put her, her family can put her to rest," said Elkins.

We actually spoke briefly with Lauren’s father Paul on the phone Wednesday evening, and he said he was aware that his daughter’s body may finally have been found.

According to Chief Sizemore, if Dumolo’s dental records can’t be obtained, they will have to try to identify the remains by using DNA, which he said can take much longer, even years.

I wonder if those are the remains that ended up being Briana Tennant? Found October 5 off Pine Island Road.

I also tried looking for any news articles mentioning remains in Burnt Store Marina, or in Feb. 2021 as that other article mentioned, but haven't been able to find anything else that looks like it matches.

"After ruling out the remains were not Dumolo’s, detectives with the Major Crimes Unit and Missing Person Unit continued to investigate. LCSO said the remains belong to a woman named Briana Tennant.

Tennant’s family has been notified and confirmed they hadn’t communicated with her in months and never reported her missing, LCSO officials said. The investigation into her death remains active."

Snip
Three weeks after Lauren was last seen, cadaver dogs with Peace River Search and Rescue worked with Cape Police searching the park and surrounding areas.

Mike Hadsell was there for part of that search.

He said the dogs alerted them to the waterline at Four Freedoms Park Park.

“The dogs came out of the park and then they went across the street, went up to the second story of the apartment building and alerted on the front door. And that was not a cued search,” Hadsell said.

He said that means there had to be a lot of odor.

“To be able to pick up that odor and then move across the street, that’s a pretty significant event when that happens, that doesn’t happen normally,” Hadsell said.
Hadsell said that apartment belonged to Lauren’s late mother and her boyfriend Victor.

“They said a cat had died and they think that’s what the cadaver dogs were hitting…human remains odor doesn’t smell like animals. It doesn’t smell like anything else,” Hadsell said.

Hadsell said the dogs got another hit on Victor’s work van, which the family said has ties to Gabriel, too.

“Gabriel and my mother’s boyfriend worked together,” Carey said.

“It’s very possible that he had just bled on something and then just touched things and that could be it. So we have to eliminate that. And we do that with the crime scene techs,” Hadsell said.

Hadsell said usually police use the handlers to help figure that out.

“We didn’t get any callbacks. We didn’t hear anything back from Cape Coral PD…we were kind of like wow, that’s weird, I wonder what happened,” Hadsell said.
Lauren’s dad wonders, too.

“I think she was murdered by her boyfriend is what I think,” Paul said.

No one has faced any charges…..

There have been several times I thought this case was solved and an arrest was forthcoming. Sadly, it never gets to the finish line. I think LE has a pretty good idea who, just not enough evidence for the DA to bring the case to court.
