PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — The body of a woman who went missing last Friday was found inside her car in Pasco County on Sunday.

The Hernando County Sheriff's Office said Moira Bossard was last seen on Oct. 8 walking into a hurricane shelter at Challenger K-8 school on Elgin Boulevard in Spring Hill.

Neighbors told law enforcement that Bossard seemed "confused" before driving to the shelter. They added that she left once and returned home because she was lost, and also talked about "driving to Tennessee to be with her family."

Bossard did not arrive at the home of any family member in Tennessee, and shelter staff had no record of checking her in. Officials were unable to locate her at her home or inside the shelter.

Law enforcement said they didn't issue a Silver Alert because Bossard had not been diagnosed with any type of cognitive impairment, and she didn't meet the criteria.

On Oct. 13, deputies found Bossard inside her Toyota Corolla, which was submerged in a body of water in Pasco County.

There are no other details available at this time.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
