Neighbors thought murdered woman was sun bathing

By: Beau Zimmer

Land O’ Lakes, Florida— Pasco County Sheriff’s Detectives are investigating the murder of a Pasco County woman found shot to death on her front porch.

51-year old Diane Yeager-Lombard, was discovered by neighbors around 11:30 Sunday morning at her home on Bahia Loop in Land O’ Lakes.

A spokesman for the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office says neighbors reported hearing gunfire yesterday and saw the woman laying on her front porch, but believed she was sun bathing.

Yeager-Lombard was a single mother and lived in the home with her teenage daughter. She enjoyed taking care of horses, according to neighbors, and had at least three on her property.

A family friend says Diane had talked about being harassed by her landscaper and had recently filed a complaint with the Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators are not commenting on any possible suspects at this time.

 
LAND O' LAKES - Lee Brown, who owns property across the street from where a woman's body was found this morning, may have seen the victim lying on her back nearly a day earlier but thought she was only sunbathing.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office today called the woman's death a homicide. Officials said the victim was a 51-year-old woman who died from an apparent gunshot but did not release her identity.

The medical examiner will determine the cause of death, the sheriff's office said.

The body was found on the front porch of a home at 9665 Bahia Loop, Land O' Lakes, in a rural area east of U.S. 41 just before noon on Sunday.

Brown, 69, heard a gunshot Saturday afternoon and later saw a woman on the front porch of the Bahia Loop house.

Sometime after 5 p.m. Saturday – he can't recall the exact time – he heard a gun shot as he was walking across his cow pasture to his house.

"Just as I was coming out over yonder by the gate," he said. "I heard the gun. And it wasn't no BB gun. It was a powerful gun," said Brown.

He looked around but didn't notice anything unusual except a blue truck speeding up the gravel road.

"There was dust. You couldn't even see nothing," described Brown. "He must have been going 70 mph. He was git and gone."

After resting at home for a while, he drove back to the mobile home he was cleaning out and passed the home where the body was discovered.

He saw a woman laying face up on the front porch. He remembered hearing the gunshot a bit earlier but almost immediately dismissed it.

"I said no, she's just sunbathing."

It wasn't until after church Sunday when he heard the news a woman had been found been found dead on Lombard's porch that he realized what he might have seen.

"I just thought nothing about it," he said. "I feel bad now. I should have at least checked on her."

The single family house is on a small horse ranch near Ehren Cutoff. This afternoon, neighbor Bea Hodson came by to feed the horses that may not have been feed since Saturday.

She said they ran to the hay she tossed over the fence.

"I just wanted to make sure the horses were fed. I just hope they have water," she said.

Mid-West coast florida, what can you do about it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Lol, IIRC Land O' Lakes is near Zephyrhills. How awesome would it be to live in Zephyrhills? A city associated with water bottles. I wouldn't mind that. would be interesting.
