Florida police discover human remains in pile of burned items; arrest second suspect in missing person case

A Winter Haven, Florida woman is the second suspect to be arrested in connection to the murder of 20-year-old Sierra Hernandez, after human remains were found in a pile of burned objects.

FOX 13 in Tampa Bay reported that 44-year-old Daphne Fernandez appeared in court on Wednesday and faces charges of attempted felony murder, abuse of a body, kidnapping and accessory after the fact.

Her appearance came one day after Polk County Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested 26-year-old Enrique Martinez, who is a suspect in the murder of Hernandez as well as Edil Rodriguez, who was murdered at a homeless camp on Nov. 8, 2023.

Martinez had been on the run for two months, but on Tuesday he was spotted wandering on a sidewalk near Cooley Road and SR 540 in Winter Haven, according to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

Fernandez remains in custody at the Polk County Jail and is being held on $1 million bond.
