Police seek help identifying woman suspected of killing American in Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Agency is seeking help to identify a woman suspected of killing a 74-year-old American man in Playas del Coco. The case matters because authorities have released surveillance footage and are asking the public for information while the investigation continues.
The man, identified as “Fleming”, was found dead in a beachside condo at about 4.50pm on 27 September, with multiple head injuries that may have been caused by a blunt object. Police say he entered the condo with the woman, who was reportedly seen leaving alone. They describe her as slender, with fair skin and black hair, about 1.6 metres tall; her identity remains unknown.
