Signs Of Life

After almost a month of investigation, interrogation, examination and every other word ending in "tion" our board has awaken and forwarded the following explanation regarding what has been going on at Island Cove.....in case you missed it or haven't received it here's a copy.

ISLAND COVE SECURITY UPDATE
March 10, 2016


As many residents know, and for those who are not aware, we recently had a murder of an Island Cove resident.  The resident was in fact a renter and not an owner.

While many wondered why we did not put out any statement earlier regarding this situation, it was because the police had asked us not to publish anything to our residents while they continued their investigation of the crime.  They stated that the information that they wanted released would be released through the electronic, TV, and print media.  While this remains an active investigation, we have now been released to provide our residents with a general statement regarding the overall status of this crime.

While the Cape Coral police are continuing to investigate this horrible crime, you can continue to expect to see police officers and detectives in the complex and surrounding areas.  In fact from time to time the residents may be asked questions by the authorities as a means of assisting in this investigation.  Also, keep in mind that many times these investigations may go on for many months before the investigation is completed.

This incident has obviously had an impact on Island Cove residents.  The obvious is the concern for the person murdered and who may have committed this horrible crime, along with a concern by our residents for their personal safety.

While rumors and stories run rampant about this crime, it is suggested that you believe about ½ of what you hear and consider the other ½ partially incorrect.

With all of this in mind, today we spoke with one of the detective’s and they have indicated that they do not believe that this was a random act and therefore they believe that the residents of Island Cove do not need to be overly concerned for their personal safety.  It was stated that if resident safety was a concern they would have addressed it with the residents by now.  However, in today’s world we all need to be cognizant of our surroundings and use common sense when it comes to keeping safe.

As we learn more, we will be happy to share any information that we are given with the approval of the Cape Coral police investigators.

We still believe we should have been informed earlier but we guess it's better then nothing.
