The nephew of one of the men who found the body said his uncle saw some legs coming from under a tree. Warren Blackmon said he thinks the body was put under the tree. "Because that tree has been down for some months," Blackmon said. "If you look at the base of the tree, the roots, you could tell it's been uprooted for a while."
Campos said the family of English, 36, was notified immediately when they found the body. "We did reach out to the family to let them know that a body was found," he said. "That's only natural given the location of the body." Campos said police have made no connections between the two cases.
Some of English's family members went to the scene where the body was found on St. Johns Avenue. Her cousin said it has been rough trying to figure out what happened to her. "All we can do is hope and pray that it's not (her)," James English said.
English's aunt said finding Stacey's body would be a relief in some ways. "The best thing that we could do right now is to find her regardless of what circumstances are, what conditions are, the best thing to do is to find her," said Bernice English Hurks. "And if this is not her, then I have to still be sad because it's somebody else's child."
