Carl Delong, Jr, Hillsb. Cty’s Oldest Cold Case..And Gay
It is the oldest Cold Case on the Hillsborough County’s Sheriff’s Dept books. Carl E. DeLong, Jr was murdered in 1956 maybe in Tampa or Hillsborough County. His body was found bludgeoned in Hillsborough County. A young St. Petersburg Army man who was last scene in downtown Tampa’s gay bar area.
We were part of a major Tampa Tribune feature story 9 years ago that was over 8 months of research. We are still investigating for a final closure with help from Hillsborough County Sheriffs Dept cold case personnel.
More details will be forth coming.
