What southern Florida is talking about this week ..Murder at Mills Pond Park!
No ... I'm not starting up the audience participation murder mysteries that I did in college in the 90's ... although the main character in my current creative project that I'm writing one post at a time (Lorem Ipsum) WILL find himself in Winston Falls in the New Year ... and he WILL interact with some people who survived those same stories.
Yes ... there WAS an actual murder and Mills Pond IS an actual park -- a park I visit frequently on my walks/bike rides and a park to which we take the puppies every so often.
This is a sign that greets parkgoers now, offering a $3000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of the killer of a popular kids' football coach who was gunned down in front of his players after a practice had ended. Of course, as more time has passed after the incident, it turns out that this particular football league, formed by Flo Rida, actually has a history that includes a sting for illegal gambling and the like -- making it seem like somebody might have owed somebody some money and couldn't pay up.
Remember when kids' sports was about the kids? Yeah ... not so much down here ...
