In April of last year I covered the case of Little Miss Lake Panasoffkee, an unknown woman who was found deceased under the Lake Panasoffkee Bridge near Interstate 75 in Sumter County on February 29, 1971. She had been found with a belt around her neck and was wearing a distinct green ensemble. She was given the name Little Miss Lake Panasoffkee and that’s what she would be known as for 54 years.
Finally, after over 5 decades, she has her name back. In life she was 21-year-old Maureen L. Minor Rowan, known as "Cookie” to her loved ones.
Detectives have identified Maureen’s estranged husband, Charles Emery Rowan Sr., as a person of interest in her case. He died in 2015 though.
Anyone with helpful information regarding her case is urge to contact the Sumter County Sheriff's Office at (352)793-2621 or to Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
———————————————————————
For anyone wondering if I will be covering the update in a video soon, yes, I will. This case has been one I frequently came back to since I covered it and I’ve been keeping up with the progress in her identification. My thoughts are with her loved ones during this time. 🕊️
