The story:

A body of a woman was found burned in a trash bin in North Miami Sunday night. She was found in a flaming receptacle when Fire Rescue was called to extinguish the fire. She was identified through her dental records as Paula Johnson, 26 years old.

They are saying Police have not named a suspect or a motive. Investigators asked anyone with information to call Detective Michael Gaudio at 305-891-8111 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.

My thoughts:

Stories like this astonish me every time. How can someone put another human being on fire, leave them there to die in pain. How did Paula get into a situation like this? Was this a family member, a boyfriend, a friend, or was it some random act of “wrong place at the wrong time”?

Every day there are stories, every day people die, every day people grieve for the ones who have passed and every day is another case to be solved. I hope that anyone with information goes to the police. Let Paula’s family get justice for what this person has done to her.

There is a time and place for death, being burned alive, isn’t one of them!
