This makes me so sad. What , to kill the mother of your child and the child. PCSO did a great job with the phone records and getting all of that so they could make the arrest. I always wondered if they were able to get cell records that pointed to him, given what we knew. I hope and pray that one of them tells where her body is for her mom's sake. She needs to come home and get a proper burial.

I think she's off I-75 in Brooksville/Spring Hill area personally. Seeing that he turned his cell phone off at I-75 and SR54 for 3 hours and then turned it back on at I-75 in Brandon he could have gone north and then south to Brandon after burying her somewhere rural. Maybe countyline road area.

 

[Skully]

Do you think he buried her with her phone? I know her phone was never recovered and it pinged in Hudson for hours.

It's quite possible

It sounds like he had no idea what to do her with her body. Going back and forth to different places.

Started a fire in the cooler at KFC? WTF! Trying to burn evidence in there? At the time, why wasn't he charged with arson?

He was up to something on this night. No doubt.

If her body was found he would have been charged a long time ago, I'm sure.

Not sure if it's arson but even if it is, they don't want small charges that would have tipped him off. KWIM? So now they can pile them on and hope he wants to play "lets make a deal" and give up the location of her body. If the death penalty is on the table, they can offer LWOP.

Jacobee Flowers pleaded with the 17-year-old girl he impregnated.

"U have ur hole life for this," he texted her, according to court records. "Don't do this to me."

Two months after that desperate exchange, police said, Flowers killed Morgan Martin in 2012. Just weeks before, they said, she had revealed to him that she was pregnant.

(...)

He also told Morgan he already had three kids. At one point, police said, he offered a former classmate money to beat her up.

"Please Cobee," Morgan texted him May 18, 2012, asking him to stay with her. "Just Considerate It I Love You."

No, charge 1, a hold, shows 'released', but the murder charge says 'awaiting trial'.

Thanks, ladygator. I'm not too familiar with the lingo and such, so seeing a "released" got me worried! I want justice for Morgan!

 

[cvaldez1975]

it looks to me as if he was arrested for the murder arrest warrant while incarcerated in prison for another case and transported to county jail. his parole date for the other case came so they dropped the detainer.

When I first saw they where draining a pond in St. Pete, Morgan Martin came to mind. Then I saw this article and it gave me chills to see that the boyfriend lived right next to it. Hoping for answers for her family Officials tight-lipped about forensic investigation in Kenneth City
