And this one doesn't have many articles, but here is a blurb from one of them:

- The seventh killing happened Nov. 21 when a discount ticket salesman was beaten to death on West U.S. Highway 192.

Tourists stopping for directions found Antonio Zuco, 50, in the bathroom of his ticket shop and tourist information center.

An undisclosed amount of cash and number of tickets to area attractions were taken, along with Zuco's wallet. Deputies think the murder weapon might be a hammer. The Osceola Sheriff's Office is still investigating.

Agencies seek suspects in 2 murders - Kissimmee Florida

Authorities are still searching for suspects in two separate homicides in which a Kissimmee man was gunned down at a local condominium complex and a Kissimmee woman was found burned in an orange grove.

Snips;
After identifying 29-year-old Kissimmee resident Lorena Perez through dental records last week, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office is trying to solve the murder case.

Perez, who worked for Shades of Green, a hotel for U.S. armed forces service members and retirees on Walt Disney World property, was reported missing by her co-workers on April 9, Sheriff’s Office officials said, after they read a description of the body found in media reports.

“We’re still talking to family, friends and co-workers and following up with any information provided to us,” said Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Twis Lizasuain.

A woman who worked with the victim for more than a year and who wished to remain anonymous de-scribed Perez as a “very warm, caring individual who was very respectful, helpful and hard-working.” She encouraged anyone with information on this case to contact authorities.
