Identified! FL - Hillsborough Co., Female body in lake, Feb'05 - Donna Cooke

[Scorpion]

I saw this in connection with the search for Jessica Lunsford on CNN:-

"... officials in nearby Hillsborough County reported finding a female body in Lake Thonotosassa".

The only information I can glean from the article is that she's older than Jessica's 9 years and she is as yet unidentified.

Can't see anything else about it at the moment.

This is simply sickening. Not only is yet another beautiful child missing but then when they search the lake for her, they pull up a different body! The crime in this country, (especially violent and/or sexual crimes against women & children), is completely out of hand. Something needs to be done with a quickness. Really, what are the chances that you drag a lake for one body & come up with one that you weren't even looking for????

God bless Jessica & this woman surprisingly discovered during the search for Jessica.

This link is no longer viable, is there any other resource on this case? There is word that her murder was linked to or committed by a sheriff and this is why it wasn't solved smh.
