ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orange County deputies are conducting a homicide investigation after two toddlers led someone to a woman's body.
- Toddlers lead passerby to woman's body, deputies say
- Homicide suspect identified as Bobby Lee Story
- Sheriff's Office: Relationship between kids, woman unclear
The body of Denise Hayes was found in a Pine Hills home on the 3400 block of Pipes O' The Glen Way.
Sheriff's crime scene investigators, detectives, the Medical Examiner's Office and workers in protective suits were at the scene.
"Foul play is suspected," Sheriff's spokesman Jeff Williamson said. "It's suspicious, and it's considered a homicide investigation."
Deputies were called to this area after two young children were seen walking alone. Someone walking by saw the toddlers and approached them. They took her to the home, where the body of Hayes was found.
“It is extraordinarily odd, but we are thankful this good Samaritan was able to bring this these children back to this location," Williamson said. "[The toddlers] were astute and smart enough to tell exactly where they had been."
Investigators identified Bobby Lee Story as a suspect in the homicide case. Deputies said there's a history of domestic violence between Story and Hayes.
Detectives haven't determined the relationship, if any, between the toddlers and the woman found dead.The children are in the custody of the Department of Children and Families, who are talking with them now.
As deputies search for Story, neighbors wonder what really happened in the vacant house on their quiet street.
"The street has always been quiet, never had problems," said Mike Kerridge, a Pine Hills resident since 1972. "I mean, it's homeowners on a little tiny street, and everybody's got kids here,”
