I don't think Central Florida is a little sleepy town anymore.

Big City crazy stuff is going on here.

Burned bodies identified as Winter Park High students

Two teenagers whose bodies were found burning near a popular jogging and biking trail in east Orange County were students at Winter Park High School and best friends, authorities and friends said Wednesday.

Nicholas "Nic" Presha, 16, and Jeremy Stewart, 18, were missing for about a day before their burning bodies were found by bicyclists out for an early-morning ride Sunday, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said.

Nic is a son of retired Orange County sheriff's Capt. Bernie Presha, a detective for the Orange-Osceola State Attorney's Office.

Police records show Nic and Stewart were arrested in Winter Park on Jan. 10 on charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle and resisting arrest without violence. Both were charged as juveniles.

I wish I could have posted one more paragraph that explained how they participated in a Teen program that was suppose to avoid prosecution. I just wonder if it was something that is offered to every teen.

and many teens of friends have got into scrapes. Almost all have been sent thru pre trial diversion programs. Most of the kids are good kids in general. I had not heard of this case but have been out of the loop the past few days.

This doesn't sound right. Stealing a car is considered a scrape?

I do know the teens in Winter Park High live at a standard higher than everyone else in Central Florida, but, aside from that, they didn't seem to be the kind that lived on the dark side. It was limited to the usual teen indiscretions. Drinking and sex.

girlfriends knew one of the boys and from what I am getting from them they were your typical teens. I will let you know if I hear anything else.

The small part of Winter Park that is in Seminole County is nothing special.

It's the human factor which is destroying the best of this state. And I'm not referring to people who are coming here to raise families and retire. I'm talking about the opportunist who don't have a soul.
