The Case - Mascotte, Florida

To have a better understanding of the layout of the important places in Mascotte, Florida pertinent to this case, I have "google-earthed" and marked the area. In this first picture it is a shot of Teresa McAbee's house located at 29 South Sunset Avenue in Mascotte, Florida 34753. This is how the house appears today, not too different than in 1987.

This next picture is of the convenience store that was called the Circle K and the laundromat next door, again very similar to 1987. The dumpster is to the right of the building  behind the pickup truck.

The next picture shows Polly's Bar now under a different name. This street leads to Teresa's house.

The next is a series of pictures as if walking from the convenience store toward Teresa's house. The lake (where her body was found) is on the right.

It is a very short walking distance from the store to her house (under 5 minute walk).

This is the view of the dumpster from Teresa's house (see how close it is).

This is the view of the lake across the street from Teresa's house.

Teresa's body was found on the edge of the shore of the lake behind the pump house 1500 feet from her home on the curve of the lake. Google states that it is only a 5 minute walk from Teresa's house.

As you can see by the pictures, the crime of raping and murdering Teresa McAbee was all within walking distance from her home.  There is no logic to this case, that Teresa would have to  be taken in a car (or police cruiser) in order to commit this crime.
