Register said he had tried to dump Margo and he figured the only way to make her leave him was to crush her self-esteem. He said on that day outside the store, he attacked Margo with a barrage of verbal insults.

Did the same search team that is currently looking for Register find these remains in Homosassa? Or was this discovery made in an unrelated manner? Another way of asking the same question would be...were these remains found on the same 1/2 acre that LE is searching to find Register?

Hopefully, a family who is missing a loved one will have answers soon.

Late yesterday, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office received a call reference bones being found deep in the woods off of S. Mason Creek Road and S Garcia Road in Homosassa. Lelland Nichols was the person who discovered the bones while walking through the wooded area. When deputies and detectives arrived on scene they were able to confirm that the discovered bones were in fact that of human remains. CCSO Forensics and detectives, along with the Medical Examiner’s Office, are working diligently to identify the remains and the circumstances behind them. It is too early to tell how old the person was at the time of death and whether or not this is a male or female. This area is being treated as a crime scene and investigators are expected to be working in this vicinity for several days. We will provide updates when they become available but at this time, we do not have any further details.
