The Escambia County Sheriff's Office has identified a woman's body found behind Woodham Middle School Tuesday. 29-year old Mindy Huffman was found in a wooded area in the Willow Tree Acres subdivision. Investigators are ruling Huffman's death a homicide.
"I was pretty much shocked," says Jonathan Curlee, who lives in Willow Tree Acres. "This neighborhood is quiet. It worries me a lot, I have little niece's and there's a lot of kids in the area and just hearing something like that has made everybody tense around here, they're not wanting their kids to come out as much since yesterday."
"One of our neighbors said they saw a suspicious car drive through about one or two in the morning," says Robert Vicars who lives near the crime scene. "It's depressing, really, it's horrible I can't believe someone would do that, I hope whoever did it comes forward."
At this point sheriff's investigators simply don't have any other information about the homicide. Detectives don't have Huffman's last-known address or have a motive or suspect in the case. Call the Escambia County Sheriff's Office at 850-436-9620 if you have any information regarding Huffman's death.
