Five camo-clad men thrash through the darkness of the woods, branches and briars tugging at their skin, as the tall pines prevent the moonlight from reaching the forest floor.
They rose in the dead of night, answering the call for felon apprehension, plunging into the unknown guided by a four-legged tracking machine.
Mimi Ramirez, Lantz s aunt and the sister of Robin Lantz, the woman he killed, said she learned of her nephew s potential involvement in Dodson s death when she called Taylor Correctional to ask why Justin had been moved to a facility in the Jacksonville area. They told me he was under investigation for the murder of his cellmate, she said.
Will Washington, the chief assistant state attorney in the Third Judicial Circuit s State Attorney s Office, confirmed that the FDLE had notified his office it was investigating a homicide at Taylor Correctional Institution that involved an inmate.
