INCIDENTS

91-670 - Gulf Islands (Florida/Mississippi) - Follow-up on Homicide

On the evening of January 11th, FBI agents and Escambia County sheriff's
deputies arrested 18-year-old S.P.E. of Pensacola for the murder
of his former girlfriend, 15-year-old L.V.R., also of
Pensacola.  L.V.R.'s body was found Christmas Eve behind Battery Langdon. 
S.P.E. has been charged with an open count of murder and will be tried in
state court.  Although S.P.E. has not made a statement, investigating officers
believe that the murder occurred within the seashore at or near the point
where the body was found. [CompuServe message from Gene Phillips, CR, GUIS,
