That was a great idea. I hope Greta will take a few minutes to do that. Someone should recognize him. That guy looks kind of young for Sandra. Maybe he is a son or relative of the guy she was seeing. Someone obviously thought she had a lot of money or at least some money. I hope they catch the son of a gun and anyone else that is involved. I hope they are just holding Sandra somewhere and that she is alright.

TAMPA - Investigators have named a person of interest in the case of Sandra Prince, the Temple Terrace woman who vanished late last year.

Earl Pippin, Prince’s longtime boyfriend, has been identified by police as the person of interest.

Co-workers at the Agency on Community Treatment Services in Tampa, which Prince helped found in 1978, remembered last seeing her Dec. 30. She told them she was headed to Sumter County, where she has a home.

Police went to Prince’s home on Moffat Place and found the back door unlocked. Nothing was missing from inside but her purse, police reported.

Her car was in the garage. http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/newswire/comments/person_of_interest_in_prince_case/

I wonder how they finally tracked him down? No one seemed to know who the boyfriend was last we heard. It's funny that they would just now name him a person of interest. Did it take all of this time to track him down? He was a person of interest in my book when she went missing. Now lets hope they can find some evidence if they haven't already. I hope that he will tell LE what he did with her body. Such a shame that this happened to a woman who was giving her life to helping others. Seems like that is always the way it is though. You rarely hear of the evil people in this world being killed by anyone.

I pray they find her body, to give the fam a chance for a proper burial.
May the killer get death row.

Missing woman's boyfriend: "Person of interest"

Temple Temple, Florida - Terrace Police now have a “person of interest” in the disappearance of 60-year-old Sandra Prince, who was last seen December 30, 2005.

He's Earl Pippin, a contractor now living near Lake Panasofkee in Sumter County.

Pippin is 53-years-old, police say he is the sole beneficiary of Prince's estate, and had been Prince's boyfriend for the past five years. Police say he is married but his wife has filed for divorce.

There is also more news about a key clue: an ATM video released in January.

It shows a man wearing a mask, withdrawing money from Sandra Prince's bank account.

Police now confirm, the man was also driving Sandra Prince's car, then brought back to her Temple Terrace home.

Michael Dunn, City of Temple Terrace Spokesman: “That the vehicle was brought back to the house, and dropped off leads investigators to believe that it was someone who knew her.”Police looked the car after Prince was reported missing, they found Prince's blood in the trunk.

Michael Dunn: “It was a sufficient enough amount to indicate foul play. It remains a missing persons case at this point, but we're starting to see evidence that it is something more than that.”The social worker's friends, neighbors, and colleagues who held vigils eight months ago, praying for her return were not talking about the new developments in the case.

Privately, one friend told 10 News, Prince was somewhat secretive about relationship with her boyfriend, person of interest Earl Pippin.

The two owned properties together, and police say the two were a couple for five years, even though Pippin was married to another woman.

Police say Pippin was originally co-operating with detectives after the disappearance.

Michael Dunn, City of Temple Terrace Spokesman: “Recently, he stopped talking. And has not been returning calls, he retained a lawyer. And he has not talked to us since then.”Police say Pippen has retained a lawyer but they have no idea who. A man answering Pippen's business phone identified himself as an employee and said the company has no comment. All 10 News' attempts to contact Pippen and his wife were unanswered. An $80,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Sandra Prince's whereabouts

Well for pity sake. No wonder no one knew anything about the boyfriend...he was married. I wonder why in the world Sandra bought property with that guy when he was married. She must not have had any expectations of him as 5 years is a long time to be strung along by a guy.

So this guy would get everything that she owned if she were to die huh? That is what it sounds like. I guess he knew which side his bread was buttered on.

I hope that they can get the evidence to put this guy away. He probably wore gloves while driving her car as he was smart enough to wear a mask at the ATM. Heck, she is probably buried out on their property somewhere. Wonder if he had poured any patios or anything like that right around the time she went missing.

I would like to see some photos of him. Theres not way he could hide that walk and size of his arms in those bank photos.

I wonder if he was trying to make it look like one of residents/patience did this to her?

LAKE PANASOFFKEE - When his girlfriend of five years disappeared a year ago, Earl C. Pippin III chopped wood to ease his anxiety. A year later, he won't talk about it - not even to say who his lawyer is.

Sandra Hamby Prince, a successful Tampa social worker and co-founder of a well-known drug treatment program, vanished around New Year's Eve 2005.

Police found the back door of her Temple Terrace home unlocked, her purse missing and her blood inside the trunk of her car.

Her cell phone, almost always on her hip, lay on a kitchen counter, ringing intermittently as neighbors and friends called, wondering where she'd gone.

No college student partying in Aruba or run-away bride, Prince didn't fit the bill for a high profile missing person. Neither blond nor bubbly, she was graying and, friends say, had a calm, cautious sophistication.

She was approaching 60. She had no children or spouse to plead her case. Her nearest relative was her mother, now 91, in North Carolina.

Though Dovey Hamby offers an $80,000 reward for information leading to her daughter's whereabouts, one thing keeps getting in detectives' way:

Prince was a master at maintaining her privacy.

Even neighbors who worried something was wrong the weekend she vanished second-guessed their instincts, concerned they might be prying.

It isn't that Prince didn't have friends. Some went back 30 years. And she developed an uncommon intimacy with people she paid to help improve her life: her esthetician, her massage therapist, her feng shui consultant, the ladies at her favorite boutique and her gardener.

But on Sept. 13 police publicly confirmed what only two or three of Prince's friends knew when she disappeared: A man named Earl was her sweetheart. He was married. And he was the sole beneficiary of her estate.

Earl Pippin, 53, is someone Temple Terrace police now describe as a "person of interest."
