Law enforcement agencies issue appeals for unsolved cold case homicides

The Charles County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland has renewed its appeal for information regarding the 1978 killing of Frank Moore. Moore, a resident of Washington, D.C., was found dead with upper body trauma at a construction site along Route 301 in Waldorf. The case remains the oldest unsolved homicide in the county.

In Florida, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office is seeking help to identify a victim from a 1992 homicide. An unidentified Hispanic male, believed to be between 19 and 23 years old, was found in an orange grove in Frostproof. Investigators noted a distinctive tattoo of the initials “J. Y. P.” on his upper left arm and shoulder. Authorities are specifically asking former agricultural workers who traveled between Mexico and Florida during the late 1980s and early 1990s to come forward.
