A woman staying at her son’s house while Hurricane Milton barreled through Florida in October received quite the surprise when she allegedly found his girlfriend’s body wrapped in a tarp.

Kristin Carrier, 43, died of several gunshot and stab wounds, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said. Her boyfriend, 32-year-old Robert Hendrix, stands accused of second-degree murder and tampering with evidence. According to a probable cause arrest affidavit, Hendrix’s 71-year-old mom went to his home on Oct. 9 to ride out the storm. After Milton passed the next day, Hendrix went to a store to buy some items.

That’s when his mother allegedly stumbled upon Carrier’s body wrapped in large brown tarp in a bedroom. The mother called her daughter who came and picked her up. Hendrix returned from the store and became “animated” when his mother and sister confronted him about the body, cops wrote. His mother and sister drove away and contacted police.

Cops showed up shortly before 6 p.m. Oct. 10 and found various blood patterns on the floor and walls. They found Carrier dead inside the tarp which was located at the entrance of the bedroom, per the affidavit. Investigators collected evidence from the scene including a knife, baseball bat and gun and submitted it to the Florida Department of Evidence for analysis. The results of those tests have been redacted from the affidavit.
