Oh my goodness. I never thought a homicide could happen in this area

Could have been a homeless person.

The woods behind Overlea High is the new Leakin Park.

Right, and I was thinking about sending my daughter to that school but no way! I know crime happens everywhere but OMG...TOO CLOSE TO HOME
Wish it was how it used to be March 3, 2013 at 01:41 pm
You wouldn't think something like this wouldn't happen in this area?? RU Serious grew up there my whole life behind Hazelwood Inn moved out in 2000 the entire Overlea Area is crap now and I'm not gonna say why but most people know the reason why

There was a homicide in the late 80's in Overlea. Laura.Byrd was murdered and left in Belmar Park. I'm certain there have been more before and after that.

many homeless people have flooded the local areas the past decade. they live primarily in the local wooded areas: (golden ring, overlea, white marsh by the railroad tracks, double rock by fullerton, off of franklin square dr, ). I see them all the time; hence, possibly it was a homeless person. Also don't remember hearing about any local missing persons.

Did someone really say they're surprised there was a murder in that area?? I graduated from Overlea in 94 and it was a hellhole then.
Wish it was how it used to be March 3, 2013 at 04:43 pm
I agree worried mother I'm 29 and it was decent up until I was about 13-14 then the neighborhoods all went to hell and it wasn't a nice place at all hence the reason my grandparents and myself got out of the area

The area went down hill because overlea has been flooded by lower income African Americans. Anybody that lived there back in the day and moved out recently knows what I am talking about.

Anntoinette, Do not send your kid to Overlea HS. Its a dump.
JBL March 4, 2013 at 04:23 pm
I'm thinking the same thing. Homeless guy

I graduated from Overlea in 1976--was a far cry then as to what it has become.

You could have left the conversation at "the neighborhood has gone down hill" ya know.

No not 2 different bodies. Just one body but the remains have been scattered by animals.

My parents refused to send me there. Now I know why. There have been stabbings and shootings at that school. I knew it was only a matter of time before something like this would happen. Plus, there have been rumors for years now that a man snatches teenage boys up who walk through those woods alone and rapes and kills them. It almost happened to my best friend. But, my friend escaped. God help this poor man's soul and his family. And may the police find whoever did this and put them in jail for life.

Apparently my last comment was flagged. I'll clean it up: Surprise, Surprise, the offer is onlyRead More good for NEW customers. Yet I've been a "loyal" Comcast customer for over 15 years now, never late on a payment nor complained when my service failed or I've had an issue that wasn't resolved without me taking "above and beyond" steps. Comcast is a juggernaut that just doesn't care if once it gets your business. You get locked in and then are stuck until your "contract" expires. Mine expires 2/22/2014 or I could cancel and pay $200. I'm going to hold out and then cut cable all together and just have Internet service so my Rokus work. But Verizon FIOS is looking better by the day.
