Found Deceased FL - Angelina Marie Failla, 26, bf said "she simply walked out", Port Richey, 07 Aug 2021

[LisaCougar]

I participated in the first search. About 20 people or so. we searched some woods off Us 19 near Embassy. Not far from where these remains were found. No one was told the circumstances of her disappearance at the time nor why we were searching that area. We were told that we were looking for a body. It was not very large. About 5 acres I would guess and inhabitted by many homeless camps. I walked around with a guy to buddy up and we talked to a couple of the homeless and showed a photo. No luck. They agreed that it would not be smart to dump a body where there were so many camps. Someone would have seen it happen most likely. I hope there is some kind of closure for the family whether this unid female is her or not. So sad.

Thank you for taking part in the first search for her. If it is her I wonder what led them to search this area.

I’m not finding much info in MSM for her…

 

[JurassicParker]

So does them taking down the FB page for her mean maybe she has been located? Jeez. I thought I had a good idea about how many people go missing but since joining this site a week ago, I've come to realize I had not even the slightest clue. It's depressing.

It sounds like the owners contacted LE. The house is a group home for disabled adults from what I understand. They are not suspected. Yard is over grown it's reported and they had to dig up a tree to get to the area.

So sad this site is sad

I find the stories sad, but the efforts to work together to follow individual situations and to work for overall change encouraging.

The community is terrific at WS, I clicked on this one because @Sleuthster is always accurate & insightful, and some of my favorite fellow posters arrived as well.

"The system" failed Ms. Failla, sad indeed. We can see, and build, a better world....

No foul play?

The findings are what they are.

JMO: This is foul play. I would like to know why they think or know this was anything but.
I hope that even though these are the findings, someone continues to investigate. I think there is information out there. It takes more time than you can stand but justice is the goal.

RIP Angelina.

I feel the same how can they already conclude no foul play?

 

[evilwise]

They used to say "no obvious signs of trauma" but I think that language must have been deemed insensitive so now they say things like "preliminary information suggests that there is no evidence of foul play" that may be more delicate but are also less informative.

Ordinarily with that "she just walked out without her wallet, phone or keys" I'd be 90% sure it was the boyfriend but her 2011 (presumably voluntary) disappearance knocked out down to 75% and now the circumstances she was found under knock it down to only about 60% - but still the most likely. He may turn out to have been the person she was with even if he only failed to render aid and mistreated human remains etc.

 

[Laughing]

At times, evidence of an overdose is not mentioned, just "no foul play."

Pure amateur speculation.

RIP, Ms. Failla, peace and comfort to your loved ones.

You and me both. I wish they would continue to investigate like you mentioned. Surely LE has looked at the arrest history of a certain someone, haven't they? JMO there's more to this story, but it will probably end up being one of those that you have to swallow the findings and move on and trust that any bad players get their just reward in the end. Prayers to her family, especially her Mom who you could tell simply loved her dearly.

 

[RIPRM]

Yhea, just walked out. Sure buddy.

What makes you so quick to judge? There are plenty of examples of where this has happened. Women, far more then men, IMO, though some men too.

A few examples:

"l begged for the major crimes unit of Pasco County since they have had her case to execute their search parties," Suzanne Failla said.


The sheriff's office said it did "a thorough and extensive search for Angelina."

"These efforts included K9 searches, business visits (hotels, gas stations, restaurants, churches, hospitals), checking with transportation companies (Pasco Transit, Uber, Lyft, Greyhound, local taxis, etc.), neighborhood searches and interviewing numerous people related to this case," said Amanda Hunter, public information manager for the sheriff's office.

"Additionally, Angelina's information was shared twice on our social media channels and was shared to local media outlets in early September. Efforts to locate Angelina encompassed several units of PSO. She was reported missing on Aug. 10 and these efforts continued until her remains were identified on Sept. 30," Hunter said.

If no foul is suspected, and the article above said she was found in an overgrown area and had to move a tree, maybe she was hanged. Moo

I don't see any mainstream media confirmation of the tree remark, although I didn't even realize the body was found in the back yard of the residence (rather than inside) until I re-read the articles.

One thing that did strike me about the most recently posted article was this comment by law enforcement regarding why Gabby Petito's case was such a worldwide thing and cases like this one barely get press - "From a PIO perspective, we put out all missing persons cases for those who are endangered (due to age, medical concerns, threats to harm themselves, etc.) the same way every time," - now it might just be because I was reading this with a different question in the back of my mind but while this comment sounds nice and positive I think it also may be inverted to explain why cases of known criminals including drug addicts and sex workers are often proportioned fewer resources.

In reality I think that most police simply care less about that class of people, there being the double edged sword that "punisher" cops tend to believe they don't deserve as many resources but also "hero" cops know there's less glory in protecting them. However, being able to say "she wasn't considered endangered" even without really investigating since it's likely that these disappearances are usually accidental and/or any evidence of foul play has been cleaned up.

I digress but although this case isn't as spectacular nor the victim as glamorous as Sheridan Wahl (which I am really surprised is not being covered more than it is) it's another where toxicology would be greatly enlightening - though in this one I fear she may have been too far gone for that.
