𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗛 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗠𝗬𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗨𝗠𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗬Today, Sheriff Carmine Marceno, alongside Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell, announced the arrest of Joshua Cullen. Cullen is accused of transporting a deceased woman's body to Charlotte County, wrapping her in a rug, weighing it down with cinder blocks, and disposing of it in the river."What began as a missing person investigation soon revealed a web of lies, deception, and a shocking disregard for human dignity," said Sheriff Carmine Marceno.On May 25th, LCSO responded to a home in North Fort Myers to take a missing person's report from Joshua Cullen. He said a woman he had been taking care of had suffered a stroke, was hospitalized, or left with an unidentified wealthy man. He claimed he had not seen her since March.Throughout the investigation, detectives learned Cullen had been accessing the woman's financial accounts and had purchased an RV. Investigators also discovered the woman's personal belongings, including her bed and other furniture, were missing from the home.As detectives worked to determine the woman's whereabouts, they learned the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office had discovered human remains near the Peace River on March 29."A group of boaters saw something large submerged in the water. We responded, and located a woman wrapped in carpet, bound tightly and weighed down by cinder blocks and chains," said Sheriff Bill Prummell.Evidence suggests the remains are those of the woman Cullen reported missing.Using investigative techniques and license plate reader technology, detectives connected Cullen to the disposal site in Charlotte County. On March 28, Cullen's vehicle was captured traveling toward Hunters Creek with a wheelbarrow secured to the roof. Detectives later determined it was the same wheelbarrow located near where the woman's body was recovered."We believe the woman died inside the home, and Cullen continued living alongside her deceased body. This sorry excuse for a man left this woman exposed, discarded, and alone while he selfishly carried on with his life," said Sheriff Carmine Marceno.Cullen was charged with neglect of an elderly person and abuse of a dead human body.The investigation remains active as detectives continue gathering and processing evidence. As that work continues, investigators will determine whether additional charges are warranted. ... See MoreSee Less
