Investigation Continues In Escambia Murder
February 24, 2011
The investigation is continuing into the murder of an Escambia County woman whose body was found Wednesday in a shallow grave.
Sheriff’s investigators are following a number of promising leads in hopes of gathering enough evidence to make an arrest in the recent death of a local woman.
The body of Catherine Angelica Lindsey, 22, was discovered at around 2:25 p.m. Wednesday in the wooded area behind the Twin Oaks Villas Apartments.
Lindsey’s family notified the Sheriff’s Office and reported her missing on February 18.
Wednesday, deputies said they interviewed a “person of interest” in the case, but no arrests were made.
While investigators assigned to the case searched the wooded area for evidence in that missing person case, they discovered her body in a shallow grave.
Investigators have classified Lindsey’s death as a homicide, but they are awaiting the results of an autopsy to know the exact cause of death.
“I’m unable to speak to the specifics of this case,” said Sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn, “but our investigators are making promising progress towards making an arrest.”
Teams of investigators have remained busy interviewing a number of people including a “person of interest”, Welborn said.

justme, I would like to think that you’re right. If so, they should have said it the way you did. I just can’t get that out of “promising progress” and “person of interest”. Thanks, I hope they get their man.
All the problems West of New Warrington road and Sunset Ave (off of Gulf Beach Hwy) started years ago when ECAT branched out to Fairfield Drive via Gulf Beach Hwy , Jackson Street and Lillian Hwy. Drug & Thugs!
I know I am stuck in the crap!
@ little B
Person of interest means someone they like for committing the crime and itsn’t a new term just used more with the media.Promising progress means they have evidence and information that they believe will solve the case. I hope that helps
When I was growing up Twin Oaks was upper middle class, where the people who had more money and nicer houses (than we did) lived. I had friends there.
There is hardly a home or neighborhood west of New Warrington and east of Blue Angel that hasn’t seen serious decline since the 70’s.
I remember when Elysian Fields and Tabaid Ln. off Fairfield were upper middle class subdivisions. Now…..
The apartments are very close to Corry Field, nestled on the hill between New Warrington Road going up to Jackson Street. It used to be a nice residential neighborhood. In the last years this area has deteriorated beyond repair. All the apartments are occupied by single moms with numerous male companions, drugs, etc. A very dangerous place to go – right outside of one of our military installations.
Where is the “twin oaks villa apts”
“person of interest ” is a fairly new term. I am wondering if it is a witness, a suspect or the good looking girl down the road. And what is “promising progress toward making an arrest”? Do they have any clues or leads? If we ask hard questions, they have to find answers.
I also hope they find the person(s) responsible for this young woman’s death. My prayers are with her family and friends. Look to GOD for guidence and relief. GOD be with you!
Sure hope they catch who ever did this. I feel for the family. Here we have lost another young person from our society. I do not know her back ground but I’m sure she did nothing to warrant being killed by someone. It’s just a sad state of affairs.
