Murder of Zanniel Leverett

On February 20, 2003, a train would stop north of 46th St and Central Ave in Sarasota, Florida. Two of the freight conductors would be overwhelmed by a terrible odor coming from the woods. In the woods about 200 yards in, the body of  27-year-old Zanniel Leverett was found. He had been murdered, but his cause of death is unreleased. He was last seen in early February.

Zanniel had a history of selling and using drugs. He may have been trying to get out of that lifestyle in recent years.
