• Tattoo Of Initials Could Hold Key In 1992 Central Florida Cold Case Homicide (tampafp.com) — Detectives are asking for help identifying a young man found murdered in a Frostproof orange grove in November 1992. His upper left arm bore a distinctive “J.Y.P.” tattoo, and investigators believe he may have frequented the Rio Grande Lounge. Anyone who recognizes the description can call the sheriff’s homicide unit at 863-298-6379. 
• Where were the cheapest places to fill up on diesel gas in cities in Polk County in week ending Oct. 31? (polktimes.com) — Polk County’s lowest reported diesel price was $5.82 a gallon for the week ending Oct. 31, compared with a county average of $6.06.
