Florida Teen Murdered After Being Lured Online by 35-Year-Old Man

Miranda Corsette, 16, was abducted, beaten, and dismembered by a Florida couple after meeting one of them through a social media app, police say.

Miranda Corsette, a 16-year-old Florida girl, was reported missing on February 24 after meeting Steven Gress, 35, through a social media app on February 14.
Corsette returned to Gress' home the day after their initial meeting and stayed with him and his partner, Michelle Brandes, 37, until her death.
Police believe Corsette was beaten and tortured between February 20 and February 24 following a dispute over missing jewelry, eventually leading to her murder.
Gress allegedly transported Corsette's body to a second location in Largo, where she was dismembered, and later disposed of her remains in a dumpster in Hillsborough County.
Both Gress and Brandes face first-degree murder charges, with Gress also charged with kidnapping; investigators are still working to locate Corsette's body.
