Largo teen's wallet found near camp murders

Ocala, Florida -- Marion County officials have found a wallet belonging to the man charged with killing two college students in the Ocala National Forest.

The sheriff's office says Leo Boatman apparently tossed his wallet into the water after the murders. The wallet was not found earlier because authorities say the murders took place in a swampy area and the wallet was underwater.

Boatman is charged with murder in the January slayings of Amber Peck and John Parker, both 26 and Santa Fe Community College students.

A grand jury has indicted Boatman on two counts of first-degree murder.
