Detectives digging up yard as part of Cocoa Police cold case investigation


"It's very weird, very weird. We heard the chopper, and we come outside and see whatever that is, digging up the whole yard,” Brooke Gross, a neighbor, said.

It's an odd scene for people in the neighborhood as the mobile command center, heavy equipment, and evidence bags are at the ready.

It’s interesting for onlookers, but for investigators seeking justice, it’s a piece in the puzzle they're looking to complete.

"We have good reason to think that something is back there. It could be we don't find anything, but it’s the type of case where we pay attention to every lead and follow every lead,” Martinez said.

*I hope I’ve posted this in an appropriate location, and with an acceptable title. I’m still learning, but I did want to share this little bit of intrigue. Since this forum description reads:
“Cold Cases
Discuss all cold cases here and sleuth out some new information!”; I’m hoping this story falls under ‘sleuth out some new information’ ;)
 
For the second day in a row, police have been out in a Brevard County neighborhood, digging up this yard for evidence in an open case.

Cocoa police got new information in the past week that led investigators to the property. They obtained a search warrant and began digging.

“We have potential suspects in play, but we need some physical evidence before we can move forward,” said Yvonne Martinez with Cocoa Police Department.

The dig is expected to enter a third day.

This report doesn’t mention the dig being connected to a cold case, only an open case. I hope they find what they’re looking for! Florida has quite a few unsolved cases that are interesting…
