The body of Alana Sims was found on the ground outside her parked vehicle and now her case is attracting attention due to the strange circumstances. Those circumstances include the fact that a child was found unharmed at the scene, which has authorities believing that the Florida woman was murdered by someone known to her.
True Crime Daily reports that 22-year-old Alana Sims was found dead on the ground in a residential area, near her parked car. Her cause of death hasn’t been reported, but authorities noted that she had a great deal of upper body trauma. Her toddler son was left unharmed inside the parked car, but it’s likely that the child witnessed the murder of his own mother.
To make the case more disturbing: Alana Sims was five-months-pregnant at the time of her death.
Now an investigation is underway, while the family of the slain Florida woman mourns. Her mother Shahlevi Sims expressed to reporters that her daughter was a devoted mother who “no longer clubbed or went out to bars.” The grieving mother is bewildered at the murder of her adult child.
Hopefully detectives can get to the bottom of this horrifying case sooner than later, especially since this woman’s unborn child was murdered as well. Whoever did this to her is dangerous, whether or not detectives believe the case is isolated. Someone who is willing to kill a pregnant woman is not someone you want walking the streets.
