Hermenia Castro, a 55-year-old Hispanic woman, was found dead on September 5, 1983, in Tampa, Florida. Her death was described as the result of a brutal beating and was one of several violent crimes in the area during a span of just over three months in 1983.

Decades after the killings, investigators linked Castro’s murder to a broader pattern of homicides that included other victims such as Linda Lansen and Barbara Grams. Two men, Amos Robinson and his brother Abron Scott, were identified as suspects in multiple murders from that period; both were already serving life sentences for other crimes when new evidence emerged. Although Robinson and Scott were charged in connection with Castro’s killing, the case did not go to trial for her death due to insufficient evidence at the time.

Did anyone in the Tampa area at that time have information that could still help clarify what happened to Hermenia Castro?
