Slain man's body foundat landfill in suburban West Palm Beach

WEST PALM BEACH — Police Friday were trying to identify the mangled body of a man they believe was murdered before workers found him Thursday amid trash at the Solid Waste Authority landfill on Jog Road and 45th Street.

"There is evidence consistent with damage from the earth movers, but there are also injuries that resulted in the homicide," West Palm Beach Police Capt. Pat Maney said. He did not elaborate.


The body had been mixed in with refuse; a worker using equipment to move garbage spotted it about 4 p.m. Thursday and contacted authorities, SWA spokeswoman Susan Chapman said. It was removed Thursday evening and the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office was expected to do an autopsy Friday afternoon, Maney said.

The man appears to be white, about 6 feet tall, and in his late 20s to early 30s.

The body was found in an area where garbage from across South Florida is dumped, so it could have been placed in a garbage bin as far away as Broward or Martin counties, Maney said.

This is not the first time a body has been dumped, but workers usually find it in the "sorting" process, Maney said.

In January 2005, workers found a dead infant on a conveyor belt at the same facility. Workers named the girl "Baby Angel." And in November 2006, the body of a newborn girl workers would dub "Baby Grace" was spotted in a pile of concrete and rocks headed to the shredder at Sun Recycling in suburban West Palm Beach. Neither has ever been identified, authorities said Friday.
Anyone with information about Thursday's discovery should call West Palm Beach police at (561) 822-1700 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS (8477).

Only after the last tree has been
cut down;
Only after the last fish has been
caught;
Only after the last river has been
poisoned;
Only then will you realize
that money cannot be eaten.
