which investigators had previously informed her was the location of the plate she had provided. Upon relaying this new information to police, Lucille discovered the plate she had noted actually belonged to a blue-green Datsun registered to one Gerard Schaefer, who resided at 333 Martin Avenue. When questioned, Schaefer denied ever having encountered Place or her parents, although Lucille positively identified a Wilton Manors personnel photograph of Schaefer as "Jerry Shepherd". Discoveries On the afternoon of April 1, a father and son searching for discarded aluminum cans discovered the extensively decomposed remains of two individuals scattered within and around a hole dug among trees in Oak Hammock Park, Port Saint Lucie, Florida. The location of this grave was feet from the nearest dirt road; the grave itself was two feet, three inches (0.69 m) deep. Deep scratch marks were evident upon the base of the tree immediately alongside the gravesite, close to where sections of a torso had been bound to the base of the trunk. One victim wore the remnants of blue jeans emblazoned with a circular emblem of the Road Runner, whereas the other was completely nude, and a pile of clothing belonging to the decedents was discovered in nearby undergrowth. Sections of both bodies had evidently been disinterred and scattered by wildlife. The location of the discoveries was approximately six miles from where Trotter and Wells had been held captive prior to their escape the previous summer. Both girls had been bound and murdered, with their spinal cords severed at the lumbar and cervical section and several bones completely severed with a knife or machete. Their bodies had been decapitated after death and their jawbones had sustained numerous fractures. One set of remains, later identified as Place, had also sustained a gunshot wound to her lower jaw consistent with having been inflicted by a .22 caliber pistol. Furthermore, sections of wearing of tree bark upon a banyan tree approximately nine from the grave indicated one or both victims had been suspended from this tree long enough to leave welt impressions within the bark prior to their deaths, and the initials "G.J." had been carved into a tree trunk, the roots of which bore several deep knife, machete or ax incisions containing torn sections of clothing fibers. Identification The bodies were taken to the Dade County Medical Examiner's Department, where Dr Richard Souviron formally identified the victims via
