Slightly different info in this article:
2817UMFL - Newspapers.com

"The decomposed body of a man was discovered by a delivery man yesterday behind VIP Marine Industries Inc., 3798 Ravenswood Road, southwest of Fort Lauderdale(...)"


"(...)The victim believed to be white and between the ages of 35 and 40, was wearing green work pants with the pockets turned inside out, no shirt and no shoes(...)"

Sounds like an appendicitis scar.

Distinguishing Marks/Features: A four and one-half inch scar on his lower right abdomen.

Sounds like the killer was seeing if he had ID or valuables or perhaps someone stumbled upon his remains and checked the pockets.

.....with the pockets turned inside out....
