Florida authorities have identified body parts that washed ashore Tampa’s McKay Bay weeks ago as a Pennsylvania mother.
The distinctive tattoo bearing the names Sean, Greg, and Zach helped detectives identify the deceased as Stephanie Crone-Overholts.
On November 11 and 12, fishermen reported spotting human body parts on the bay; an investigation has since been ongoing into what authorities believe was a homicide.
“This has been a living nightmare,” the victim’s son, Sean, said. “It is unimaginable what she went through. My mother will be deeply missed.”
Crone-Overholts had been living in Lutz, Florida, approximately 20 miles north of her remains were found.
Police said the Erie, Pa. native’s death was linked to a silver Hyundai Elantra with a Pennsylvania license plate but did not release further details.
