Her body was found behind a dumpster in Tampa. Who was she, and how did police catch her killer?
March 22, 2019
TAMPA — One rainy night last October, a sheriff's deputy showed up at Art and Linda Pietscher's door in Michigan with news about their daughter in Florida.

Their dog Junior was barking, so Art Pietscher and the deputy went to the camper parked outside to talk. In the moment after the deputy told Pietscher that his 28-year-old daughter Laura was dead, Pietscher’s mind jumped to conclusions. Maybe it was a car wreck; Laura did like to drive fast.

Instead, the deputy said that detectives in Tampa suspected Laura was a victim of a homicide.
[...]
Born in Livonia, Mich., and raised in nearby LaSalle, Laura Pietscher came to Florida in fall 2016 to care for her ailing grandmother, Bea.

She moved into her grandmother's tidy manufactured home in a neighborhood where the streets were named after states. Bea happened to live on Michigan Avenue. After she died in 2017, Laura stayed in the house.

After settling in Florida, Pietscher decided she wanted to become a correctional officer. She faced a challenge: She was born with a short right arm and only two fingers and thumb on that hand. While training at the academy, the instructor in the pump shotgun course told her she was wasting his time because she would never make it through his class, according to her father. But she learned to pump the gun with her left hand and pull the trigger with her right, and she passed.
[...]
Another witness told investigators that a short guy from Sebring claimed he'd fled from police and crashed the truck. Detectives found Danielle hiding in some bushes — the motion doesn't say where — but did not arrest him.

Records show Danielle, who is about 4-foot-10, has been arrested more than a dozen times in Florida and has served time in state prison for robbery, battery and cocaine possession.

Investigators began to retrace the whereabouts of both Danielle and Pietscher in the days leading up to the discovery of her body. Detectives learned that Pietscher had been seen in a couple of bars in Sebring before her disappearance. At a restaurant Pietscher frequented near her home, the Wild Hawg, they discovered surveillance footage from Oct. 16 showing her wearing the same strapless dress she had on when her body was found.
[...]
The case against Danielle grew stronger as lab results came back. His DNA was found under Pietscher's fingernails, on the strap that bound her hands and a blood-stained shirt found in the back of her truck.
