Police haven’t shared much about the case, or what evidence they hope to find, but their focus is on a property near the corner of Parker Avenue and Carver Road.

“This is a quiet neighborhood, so when you see something like this here, you wonder what’s going on because nothing ever happens here,” neighbor Merritt Askew said.

Cocoa police got new information in the past week that led investigators to the property. They obtained a search warrant and began digging.

“We have potential suspects in play, but we need some physical evidence before we can move forward,” said Yvonne Martinez with Cocoa Police Department.

The dig is expected to enter a third day.
