Foul play suspected after human remains found in Trilby, Pasco deputies say
Foul play is suspected in the death of a man whose remains were discovered Tuesday morning in Trilby, Pasco deputies said.
Deputies discovered the remains of the 33-year-old man in an area near the intersection of Trilby and Old Trilby roads, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators have identified the man but a sheriff's office spokesperson declined Wednesday to release his name to the Tampa Bay Times, citing Marsy's Law.
The Florida Supreme Court ruled in 2023 that 'Marsy's Law does not guarantee to a victim the categorical right to withhold his or her name from disclosure.' Rather, the court held, Marsy's Law speaks about a victim's right to prevent information from being disclosed that could be used to 'locate' them.
The sheriff's office spokesperson said the office considers a crime victim's name to be information that must be withheld due to Marsy's Law.
No other information was available for release, the spokesperson said.

Broward Judge Mardi Levey Cohen receives public reprimand, 10-day suspension
The Florida Supreme Court on Tuesday publicly reprimanded Broward County Judge Mardi Levey Cohen after an investigation into allegations that she acted improperly during a 2022 re-election campaign. Levey Cohen, who also received a 10-day suspension, appeared before justices for the reprimand. The Supreme Court last month approved an agreement, known as a stipulation, reached by Levey Cohen and the state Judicial Qualifications Commission, which investigates judicial conduct. A filing at the Supreme Court said Levey Cohen was accused, in part, of forwarding an email about her election opponent to a representative of the Wynmoor Condominium Democratic Club 'without verifying the accuracy of the claims.' The information, for example, included an accusation that Levey Cohen's opponent obtained money from the federal Paycheck Protection Program during the COVID-19 pandemic when she did not qualify. Also, a May 8 Supreme Court order said Levey Cohen filed an Internal Revenue Service complaint challenging the tax-exempt status of a church where her opponent campaigned. The order said Levey Cohen sent a copy of the complaint to the church with a false return address, 'suggesting that the correspondence was from the IRS itself.' Chief Justice Carlos Muniz said during Tuesday's reprimand that misconduct poses a risk to public confidence in the judiciary. 'Any unethical behavior by a judge — including in a campaign setting — puts that trust at risk,' Muniz said.

Person posed as ‘60 Minutes' producer to hunt for info on Florida land deal
For Matt Chipperfield, the request seemed like any other. Since the St. Johns County fishing charter captain first learned last month the state could trade away 600 acres of his community's pristine wilderness preserve, he'd been speaking to reporters and podcasters to spread information that he hoped would block the deal. So when a person claiming to be a producer for '60 Minutes' called him May 19, Chipperfield figured it was just another inquiry. The person, who identified themselves as 'Oliver,' asked him what he knew about the land swap and who he thought might be behind it. He also scheduled an interview. But Oliver repeatedly rescheduled the sit-down, according to text messages reviewed by the Tampa Bay Times. The producer first cited food poisoning, then said '60 Minutes' had secured an interview with Gov. Ron DeSantis but the governor was running late. Eventually, Chipperfield stopped hearing back. But the person wasn't a producer with '60 Minutes' at all, the Times has confirmed. The news program doesn't employ any producer named Oliver, according to a spokesperson for CBS. Additionally, no one from '60 Minutes' interviewed the governor. DeSantis has had an acrimonious relationship with that news program since a segment aired in 2021 that was critical of his handling of the COVID pandemic, sparking backlash from both the governor and some Democratic officials. '60 minutes? That's funny‚' replied DeSantis spokesperson Bryan Griffin via email when asked if an interview took place. ('60 Minutes' in Australia, which has no affiliation to the CBS News show but has the same name, also confirmed it doesn't have any producer named Oliver — or anyone in Florida at the moment.) 'They were pumping me for information about who I was talking to,' said Chipperfield, whose social media videos about the controversy have drawn hundreds of thousands of views. 'It was nefarious in nature, but it also let me know that I said something that put pressure on somebody.' It's unclear who Oliver really works for. The Times called and texted the numbers used to contact Chipperfield, but no one responded. This episode is the latest and perhaps most bizarre twist in a public lands controversy that has remained a tightly kept secret. Weeks after a recently created limited liability corporation withdrew the proposal in response to protests by Floridians, nearly all the particulars of the deal have remained hidden. That includes what The Upland LLC would have done with the 600 acres of pristine wildlife preserve. When the company shelved its proposal, a letter from its lawyer to state officials said only that the public was misinformed, and 'there was never any intention to develop the acquired land for commercial or community development purposes.' The public also still doesn't know the identity of the person or company behind the LLC. State Rep. Kim Kendall, R-St. Augustine, has asked the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for weeks to reveal the person behind The Upland LLC so she can meet with them. The 600 acres in the deal are in her district. But the agency has so far refused, Kendall said in response to questions from the Times. Last week, the agency's legislative affairs director, Brett Tubbs, told Kendall that 'nobody' in the department knows the identity, she said, and the staff has only interacted with the lawyer representing The Upland LLC, Gary Hunter. When asked for comment, Florida Department of Environmental Protection spokesperson Alexandra Kuchta did not address the question directly. 'Ordinarily I wouldn't respond to a question like this, but to be clear: (the Department of Environmental Protection) provided Rep. Kendall with the contact information for the applicant's representative,' she wrote in an email. The agency houses the committee that was days from voting on the land swap when it was pulled. Department of Environmental Protection staff had recommended that state officials on that committee approve the deal. On May 6, the agency's public lands director of eight years, Callie DeHaven, abruptly resigned, according to a copy of her resignation letter obtained by the Times. Kendall said it's been 'frustrating' to not be able to meet with the person behind the land swap. She has said she wants to explore getting the state to buy the LLC's land, adjacent to the Guana River Wildlife Management Area, to add it to the preserve as well as file legislation next year to prevent swaps like this from emerging again. 'Based on the applicant's withdrawal letter, he seems to have a lot to say,' Kendell said in a text. 'From my end, the offer to have a conversation remains open, should he choose to reconsider.' The Times submitted a public records request for a copy of the slideshow presentation that would have been shown at the council meeting to describe the proposal. Kuchta said in an email that officials didn't possess one. The governor's office, too, did not respond to emails asking whether DeSantis' staff knows who's behind the LLC. DeSantis ignored a question from a reporter about the landowner's identity at a news conference in Tampa last month. There are a few other people that may know who owns the 3,066 acres that would have been purchased by the LLC to give to the state in return for the preserved land. There are four landowners, each with hundreds of acres that were identified on the land council's public meeting agenda. Two of the four men did not respond to calls, texts and social media messages from reporters. Daniel Lanier, a senior adviser at Lakeland-based Saunders Real Estate, said a broker approached him in January about buying roughly 1,200 acres of Osceola County land from his client, a Miami man named Ceferino Machado. On May 21 — two days after The Upland LLC formally withdrew its proposal — the broker, whom Lanier said worked for Fusilier Realty Group, canceled the sale. The Fusilier Realty broker has not responded to repeated calls and emails from the Times. 'There was nothing special about it, it was a simple vacant land contract,' Lanier said in a recent interview. 'I had no idea who they were or what they were doing.' A landowner in Volusia County who owns a parcel the LLC would have acquired, Matthew Boni, said the sale of his land also didn't go through. 'As the seller, I was blind to all of that,' he said, referring to the state's controversy. Boni declined to elaborate further, including naming the broker that approached him for the land. Kendall has also been trying to get answers from Hunter, the LLC's lawyer. Rumors have persisted that the developer behind the trade was Patrick Zalupski, chief executive and founder of Dream Finders Homes, a national homebuilding company based in Jacksonville. Zalupski was also appointed by DeSantis in 2023 to serve on the University of Florida Board of Trustees. Dream Finders Homes, through its general counsel Rob Riva, has said it had no involvement in the swap. But Riva has not responded to follow-up emails from the Times asking if Zalupski was involved in his personal capacity, nor has Zalupski responded to repeated voicemails and text messages from reporters. When Rep. Kendall pressed Hunter to set up a meeting with his client, he replied in a text: 'Rep., I'm not trying to be difficult but am not authorized to release any information concerning this matter. That would include Mr. Zalupski's phone number.' The Tampa Bay Times launched the Environment Hub in 2025 to focus on some of Florida's most urgent and enduring challenges.

Florida AG James Uthmeier denies involvement in Hope Florida transfers to committee he ran
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier denied being involved with the Hope Florida money transfers that are reportedly under investigation and blamed the scandal on interest in the marijuana industry. 'I don't control the decisions of other nonprofits,' Uthmeier said. 'I was on the board of the nonprofit that was focused on exclusively defeating Amendment 3, unrestricted marijuana.' Uthmeier made the comments during a press conference in Pensacola, where he announced the signing of an agreement with the Florida Department of Education to cooperate with the newly created Office of Parental Rights in the AG's office. 'I'll mention the Hope Florida thing," Uthmeier said. 'It's clear there's some political attacks going on.' Uthmeier said he believes the accusations about Hope Florida are being pushed by the marijuana industry. 'I know the big marijuana industry, they put in over $150 million (in the Amendment 3 campaign), they're not very happy about this,' Uthmeier said. 'I know there's some Democrat officials and a legislator in this area that are in bed with that group, and so they want to bring this fight. But at the end of the day, we did the right thing. Everything we did was lawful. We won. I'm proud we won, and I'm glad that we have kept Florida safe, free and open for business in a healthy manner.' Hope Florida is a state program whose stated goal is to help steer Floridians away from state assistance and toward services offered by nonprofits and faith-based organizations. Hope Florida has a foundation to raise private money to support the program. The program was championed by First Lady Casey DeSantis, and news of the scandal broke as speculation in the political press mounted about the first lady making a bid for governor in 2026 to succeed her husband. Earlier this year, the Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald reported that a $10 million donation to Hope Florida came out of a $67 million lawsuit settlement with Florida's largest Medicaid contractor, Centene. According to the report, Centene overbilled taxpayers by $67 million, and the DeSantis administration settled the lawsuit with the company for the same amount. Rather than all $67 million going back to the Medicaid program, $10 million was sent to Hope Florida. Hope Florida then passed on the $10 million to political committees, and the money ultimately went to support the campaign against the amendment that would've legalized recreational marijuana in Florida. Pensacola Rep. Alex Andrade, chairman of the House Health Care Budget Subcommittee, held hearings to investigate the issue and said he found evidence that Uthmeier directed the money to Hope Florida when he was DeSantis's chief of staff. Andrade said he believes the $10 million transfer was illegal and turned over all of his documents his committee obtained to state and federal prosecutors. On May 20, Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald reported that the Leon County state attorney's office couldn't provide the documents because they were part of an open investigation. Andrade's investigation of the transfers has made him a persona non grata in the DeSantis administration. He told the News Journal that state officials have stopped responding to requests from him for other legislative work and on May 21 DeSantis blasted Andrade during a May 21 press conference in response to a question about a reported criminal investigation into the Hope Florida. 'You had a one state representative with a political agenda, and he has a political agenda to try to smear Hope Florida—to try to smear people associated with the administration,' DeSantis said. 'Even my wife, who's done a great job for this state by the way, not just on Hope Florida, saving taxpayers $100 million, getting 30,000 people off means-tested welfare. Show me someone else in this country that has been able to do that?" DeSantis said his wife worked to start Hope Florida and other initiatives while she was first lady and has never been paid for any of that work. He said a person who was clearly Andrade was trying to smear his administration. He never mentioned Andrade's name, but he did use other terms. 'She has led an initiative to help people, and you have one jackass in the legislature—I'm sorry, it's true—who's trying to smear her, smear good people,' DeSantis said. DeSantis repeated the claim that the scandal surrounding Hope Florida is a 'manufactured political operation.' 'How pathetic is it that we have a Republican representative who's engaging in lawfare to try to advance a political agenda?' DeSantis said. 'It stinks, and everybody knows it.' Andrade said Uthmeier's comments in Pensacola on May 23 were 'more deflection from the chief laundering officer of the State of Florida.' 'Why didn't he just answer the question?' Andrade said. 'Unless I'm missing something, his comment amounts to bragging that he used Medicaid funds to fight a ballot initiative.' After DeSantis made his comments on May 21, Andrade responded with a post on X, the social media website formerly known as Twitter. 'I want to publicly apologize to @GovRonDeSantis for hurting his feelings by… (checking notes) handing over evidence of criminal activity to law enforcement… My heart bleeds for you Governor…' Andrade wrote. Andrade brushed off the personal attacks by DeSantis when asked by the News Journal. 'I think it's inappropriate of him to be complaining about a criminal investigation,' Andrade said. 'I discovered evidence of money laundering and wire fraud, turned it over to law enforcement. And he's, like, mad that I care about protecting taxpayer money?' Andrade said he doesn't think most people in Pensacola are paying attention to DeSantis' press conferences, but the constituents he has heard from about it have given him positive feedback. 'The only thing I've gotten from constituents is encouragement to get to the bottom of what happened with the funds,' Andrade said. 'As far as like, DeSantis kind of going off the rails, most folks aren't really paying attention.' Regardless of the ultimate outcome of the Hope Florida investigation, Andrade said he plans to bring legislation next year that will make it an outright crime to steer money in a state settlement away from state coffers like what happened with Hope Florida. He also wants to look at restricting what type of political activity staff members of the governor's office can engage in similar to restrictions on staff at the federal level. "This wouldn't have happened if DeSantis hadn't had his chief of staff running his presidential campaign, and then running these campaigns against amendments out of the governor's office," Andrade said. "They conflated personal, political and public service, non-stop." This article originally appeared on Pensacola News Journal: Florida AG James Uthmeier denies involvement in Hope Florida scandal
