Missing Winter Haven Man Found Dead In Orange Grove: Sheriff

LAKE WALES, FL — The body of a missing 21-year-old Winter Haven man was found in a Polk County orange grove by police on Tuesday, authorites said.

Danne Frazier, who was last seen on Nov. 4 at a WaWa gas station at 2:20 a.m. after leaving work at the Publix warehouse in Lakeland, had been reported missing by his family, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

Frazier lived in Winter Haven but never made it home, deputies said.

The orange grove where his body was discovered was off Helicopter Road in Lake Wales, investigators said.

The medical examiner's office is scheduled Friday to perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

"You can remain completely anonymous and get cash for you information. All you have to do is contact Heartland Crime Stoppers. He was brutally murdered, and then dumped in an orange grove, and his family deserves justice."
