Posted: 12:04 pm EDT June 3, 2004
SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. -- An apparent suicide in the Seminole County Jail is turning into much more Thursday afternoon. Jail officials say the man's last act included bizarre notes written on his body.
The inmates name was Randolph Mora, a high-profile suspect involved in an extremely bizarre murder case. Mora, 26, had been locked up in the Seminole County Jail since last October, charged with the murder of Scott Quinn, a bail bondsman and gun dealer from Sanford.Shortly before two o'clock Wednesday morning, Mora was rushed to Central Florida Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead about an hour later. Channel 9 Eyewitness News has been informed that Mora overdosed on painkillers and anti-depressants."We're looking into that. That will be part of the autopsy, to see if anything like that turns up," says Steve Olson, Seminole County Sheriff's Office.The Seminole County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Mora left behind a few messages written on his body and on pieces of paper found in his possession."But as far as what the contents specifically said, we can't go there. One dealt with the case in Sanford, the other was a message," says Olson.The case in Sanford was very bizarre. Police say Mora killed Quinn out of jealousy, after finding out Quinn had been having an affair with his girlfriend. Police found hundreds of guns and explosives in Quinn's home, forcing a two-day neighborhood evacuation.Police say Mora was rumored to be a mid-level cocaine dealer, who might have had Quinn as a client."He was awaiting trial. He was going through the legal system on this case. While he was awaiting trial, he was here at our jail, held under no bond. Then this happened this morning," explains Olson.
