Florida Association of Crime Stoppers Releases Cold Case Playing Cards

Pasco Sheriff’s Office was proud to join the Florida Association of Crime Stoppers, Florida Attorney Ashley Moody and other law enforcement partners today to announce the release of the new Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay playing cards. Each card showcases a homicide or missing person cold case, featuring a photo and case information. Correctional facilities throughout Florida will receive these decks in the hope that they may lead to tips from incarcerated individuals. Among the cold cases featured in the deck is the homicide of James William Earl, who was killed in the Glenrock Rd. area of Spring Hill on Jan. 16, 2019.

The victims and their loved ones deserve justice, and these playing cards will help us get one step closer to finding answers. We’re grateful to Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay and Attorney General Moody for supporting our efforts and shedding light on these cases.

The Pasco Sheriff’s Office will never give up on solving crimes, and reminds our citizens that even small tips can make a difference. Tip can be submitted to PSO’s Crime Tips Line at 1-800-706-2488 or online at PascoSheriff.com/tips.

Pasco Sheriff’s Office detectives continue to seek answers in the murder of James William Earl, pictured here, on Jan. 16, 2019. The victim’s family has waived their Marsy’s law protections and has given PSO permission to release the decedent’s information in the hopes of finding additional information in this case. He was found shot to death in his driveway at 14838 Glenrock Rd., Spring Hill, just before 7 a.m. that day.

In coordination with Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay, the Florida Sheriff’s Association and Earl’s family, an enhanced reward of $15,000 is offered to help lead to the identification and arrest of any suspects. The identity of any possible suspects are unknown.

Anyone with any information regarding the identity of the suspect(s) and who wants to be eligible for a cash reward is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS (8477), report anonymously online at www.crimestopperstb.com, or send a mobile tip using the P3 Tips Mobile application.
