MURDERS IN THE SWAMPLAND



Billy Mansfield during his murder trial in Brooksville, Florida, listens but never
says a word.





Gary Mansfield, Billy Mansfield's brother, knew of the going'on at the family's home in Weeki Wachee Acres and of the burials that took place there.



Phyllis Spielmaker puffs her cigarette while listening to testimony during court
proceedings.
..... In the spring of 1981, while detectives were putting together a
case for the murder of Renee Saling in California, detectives in
Florida were doing some real digging. Actual digging. Information
had come out during trial proceedings in an unrelated Hernando
County case that bodies were buried at the mansfield homeplace.
......
As the investigation unfolded, witnesses in the case provided information so bizarre it seemed fictionl. How could the burying of human bodies in the Mansfield yard have been done so indifferently? It appeared the back yard being the gravesite for
young women was a shared bit of knowledge by quite a few folks in the area swampland. What did people think when they would hear of a girl's body being buried at the Mansfield place? What was going through their minds? After all, it wasn't like a team of detectives went out and uncovered bodies of murdered girls in
somebody's back yard everyday....

How did Earl Linebaugh escape the death penalty in Florida? What a low life piece of dirt.

How can you write a book without permission from the accused? Isn't that illegal? Aren't you opening yourself up to possible lawsuits?

Russel, Brandon, and Kenny were my friends. There are a lot of us from Brooksville that were there and remember these events vividly who didn't turn out to be racist. Those days were not as bad as they are portrayed, you need to ask someone who was there.
