PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — Deputies are asking for help in identifying human remains that were found in the woods over five years ago.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said the remains were found near the intersection of Scenic Drive and Graphic Drive in Port Richey on Dec. 12, 2019, but the person's identity is still unknown.

Deputies said an anthropologist confirmed the remains are from a white or Hispanic man, who was 5'3"-5'11" and 20-60 years old. The man also previously sustained a fractured rib, but this was not associated with his death.

PCSO had an artist complete two possible composite sketches of the man. One includes a hat that was found in the area near him.

If you have any information about the case, you can call the Pasco Sheriff's Non-Emergency Line at 727-847-8102, option 7.

“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.
