Sometimes bad things happen in beautiful places. On a picture perfect day in paradise while I was watching my next-door neighbor���s girlfriend do sun salutations in the nude, my ex-girlfriend Janet Brown, a deputy with the Sarasota County Sheriff���s Office called. Needed me to ID a body at Myakka River State Park, a state park with breathtaking landscapes and birds and alligators. And a dead body with one arm missing. Can you say, ���gator bate?��� The deceased was my estranged father, Yale Augustus Larsson Sr. And that day was the beginning of a mystery. Was my old man murdered? If so, why? Take a look at the video and you���ll see the beauty of Myakka State Park.
