Matthew Collins, 31, of Lehigh Acres, Florida, was reported missing on October 12, 2017, after leaving home to get a haircut. Six days later investigators found his vehicle in Lehigh Acres with a bullet hole in the windshield and blood inside, and the case was treated as a homicide.

Lee County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit recovered Collins’ body in a shallow grave in a heavily wooded area near where he lived. Authorities say he was murdered by 19-year-old Aria Armstead and her 21-year-old boyfriend Nathan Ortiz, who lived across the street from the grave site. Armstead was charged with second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence; Ortiz was charged with accessory after the fact and tampering with physical evidence. Both were arrested and held without bond.

Collins’ family was described as devastated by his death, and the case drew significant local attention. If anyone knew Collins, his movements on October 12, 2017, or saw his vehicle in the days after he disappeared, please come forward with information.
