    Very frightening. I can't help but wonder who she is, where is from, her age, and where was she, and what was she doing when killed. Nowhere is safe anymore! Apopka is not like it used to be, but neither is anyplace else. There are some evil people out there among us!

    Occasionally around the house, I might need a box for something I am doing, and I will search for some tossed out boxes near the cleaner dumpsters, but no, I never go there alone, only with my husband. I also have noticed which dumpsters to avoid, because I have seen some men go into the one at Family Dollar on RSR, which is a cement blocked in one, just like they are living in there! No way, am I going in a blocked in area like that, to hunt a box, only if I can see around the entire dumpster, and it is clean. Some businesses just toss their empty boxes right out the back door, and not in dumpsters. I usually go to those, to find them. Most cut up their boxes to recycle, so it is somewhat hard to find a good clean strong box. Yeah, go ahead think it is funny, y'all have hunted boxes too, but won't admit it. I would have freaked out, if I saw a dead body around a dumpster. May she rest in peace. Such a sad, sad, ending for someone's life here on earth.

    Very sad, but surely not unheard of in the Apopka. area.
