A Florida Man Suspected of Killing a Teen Is Set For Sentencing
A 34-year-old man who pleaded guilty to killing a pregnant Florida teenager a decade ago faces a shorter prison sentence if her remains are found before he is sentenced Thursday.
Jacobee Flowers was indicted by a grand jury in 2016 in the death of Morgan Martin, 17, who left her St. Petersburg home in pajamas in 2012, telling her sister she’d be back soon, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
She never returned. About a year later, police reclassified her case from missing persons to a homicide. Martin had said Flowers was the father of her baby.
