Body of missing Florida woman found in backyard septic tank; handyman charged

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The body of a 57-year-old woman was found buried in her backyard in a spot the handyman accused of killing her probably didn’t think police would look: the septic tank.

Detectives with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office discovered the body of Cynthia Cole submerged 4 feet below ground in a septic tank behind her home in Jensen Beach late Friday, according to WPEC-News Channel 12.

Cole was last seen on Feb. 24 at a street festival in downtown Jensen Beach.
