Family of Woman Found Dead in Orlando Woods Files Lawsuit Alleging Negligence by Sheriff's Office and Deputies

The family of Miya Marcano, a 19-year-old woman found dead in the woods near her Orlando apartment, is suing the Orange County sheriff's office and two deputies for negligence and civil rights violations. The lawsuit alleges that the deputies failed to properly investigate Marcano's disappearance, despite evidence that could have led to her discovery sooner. The family had previously settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the apartment complex and its management partner. Last year, the deputies were disciplined for violating department policies in connection with the case.
