APOPKA, Fla. —
At New Vision Community outside Apopka, the quiet work of the church and seminary continues under the image of light while a shadow of unnerving questions still looms from a murder investigation that began nearby.
Several days after the bodies of two women were found on the church's property, detectives are still working to answer why they were killed and who is behind it.
Only one of the victims has been identified, Kristina Upchurch. She was 34 years old.
As work continues to identify the other woman found there, a report from the Sheriff's Office gives a glimpse at how the homicide case started.
The document describes how landscapers, a father and son team who tend to the property, first made a gruesome discovery.
The father and son were working on the church's lawn as they usually do, according to an incident report, and as they mowed toward the end of the property toward a tree line, they noticed a blue tarp set at the edge of it. The tarp seemed amiss immediately, so they stopped their work to see what it was and why it was there.
The Sheriff's Office report notes the men saw one of the bodies when they peered behind the tarp used to shroud it. They told deputies they immediately told church staff members, who then called 911.
Now several days after this 40-acre plot was scoured for clues, deputies haven't said how the women were killed or what, if any, leads have materialized toward possible motives or suspects.
As their investigation first began, deputies said the victims' bodies did show some signs of decomposition. So far, no timeline has emerged detailing when the killings took place.
Deputies are asking anyone with information to contact the Sheriff's Office or call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
