Who has lived in Tarpon Springs area for at least 30 years? Who knows a piece of the puzzle about the murder of a young woman and can share that info now after the passage of three decades? Lynette Miller, later known as Lynette&nbsp;Campbell, lived in Tarpon Springs with her daughter and her mother. Did you know Lynette? Connie Roby? Their boyfriends? A gathering is being planned. A free beverage for anyone who personally knew Lynette Miller Campbell. Lynette was murdered on May 31, 1996. She was last seen leaving the Bridge Bar, and on the 30th anniversary of the crime we are gathering longtime local residents who knew Lynette or who have any sort of information about the crime at all. But you can supply that puzzle piece. Her cold case can be solved with the help of the community and particular individuals right now. This is the chance to help, the chance that perhaps has been so long awaited. Have you waited for someone to ask? We're asking. To discuss call Novack Law (pro bono cold case volunteers) at 305-947-3000.

The original Tarpon Springs ghost tour runs select nights at 8:00 PM, from $35 per person. Led by local guide and screenwriter Ace Chapman, Silent Slayer Ghost Tours has been running the only authentic paranormal walking tour through historic downtown Tarpon Springs since 2023. Check <a href="https://silentslayertours.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">silentslayertours.com</a> for available dates.
The tour covers the story of Marshal Ruben Jones, described by a former Tarpon Springs Mayor as "the toughest, meanest, killingest man" in the city's history. Elected Marshal for 12 straight one-year terms beginning in 1906. Shot a challenger in the back at Spring Bayou. Tried, acquitted, retired in 1920, and found with more than 80 bullet wounds on a hunting trip shortly after. The case has never been solved. His gold badge is now on display at the Tarpon Springs Police Department.
The route also passes the Cheney House, the Old Dry Goods Store that once sold coffins with "embalming if necessary," and the Old Saloon Building where the 1953 film Beneath the 12-Mile Reef filmed its famous fight scene. Guests use dowsing rods on the platform of the historic Train Depot and a spirit box during select moments. Many have heard their own names called back.
There is also Mary. A documented spirit presence in downtown Tarpon Springs who responds to Ace on demand. Silent Slayer has video of Mary turning her streetlight on and off at a guest's request. On one occasion the light exploded. Her full story is shared on the tour and not before.
No costumes, no actors, no fake equipment. The original Tarpon Springs ghost tour. Running since 2023. Ace has never once finished in exactly 90 minutes. Plan for longer. It is always worth it.
Meet at Spring Bayou, Tarpon Springs. Arrive 10 minutes early.
Select nights at 8:00 PM / Ages 13+ / Limited to 15 guests
From $35 per person
