Man Tied To Double Homicide Sought By Winter Haven Police

WINTER HAVEN, FL — Detectives are looking for a 38-year-old man they want to question about a double homicide at a Winter Haven motel on Tuesday night, authorities said.

The Winter Haven Police Department is looking for Beloni Petitfrere, whom they believe is connected to the killings of 40-year-old Timothy Anderson and 49-year-old Leslee Umpleby, police said.

The mother of Anderson requested a well-being check for her son at Rose Motel, 815 6th St. NW, on Wednesday at 3:20 p.m. after she had not heard from him. Anderson typically called his mother daily.

Detectives found Umpleby and Anderson dead inside the motel room, investigators said.

A witness told police they saw someone wearing a hoodie go toward the room after 11 p.m. on Tuesday, deputies said.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Detective Rod Esteveat at 863-287-8210.
