POLK COUNTY, Fla. – Four people living on a Frostproof property 
where three friends were slain earlier this month have been 
arrested after Polk County investigators said the property was 
like a landfill and covered in human and animal waste.

Damion Tillman, 23, Brandon Rollins, 27, and Keven Springfield, 
30, were all found dead in Frostproof on July 18 where the best 
friends had met to go on a fishing trip. Three suspects --“TJ” 
Wiggins, 26, William “Robert” Wiggins, 21, and Mary Whittemore, 
27 -- were later arrested and charged in connection with the 
murders, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

While homicide detectives were serving a search warrant for land 
on Sarver Avenue near where the victims were found, they 
observed hazardous conditions and asked for Polk County 
environmental crimes to investigate, according to a news release.

According to the arrest reports, the camper where 58-year-old 
Tony Wiggins Sr., 42-year-old Robert Keene, 54-year-old Nydia 
Liboy and 19-year-old Chyanne Eccleston were living had an open 
septic tank draining into the ground with “feces visible at the 
surface of the ground.”

All four were arrested and charged with environmental crimes.

Environmental detectives said the property was covered in tires 
and broken down vehicles, metals, appliances and other debris, 
comparing it to a landfill.

“Throughout the property an excessive amount of flies were 
swarming around the trash, dog feces and human feces,” 
detectives wrote in the report.

Three dogs and a cat were found on the property and collected by 
Animal Control, according to a news release.

Sheriff Grady Judd said the property was unfit for animals, let 
alone humans.

“The property where these suspects live looks like a landfill 
and has raw sewage all over the ground. It’s not only not fit 
for humans, I wouldn’t even let a dog live there,” Judd said in 
a statement.

Wiggins Sr. told detectives he knows the septic tank is illegal 
but can’t afford to have a proper system installed, which is why 
he was draining it into the ground.

Wiggins Sr. is charged with improperly building and maintaining 
septic, refusing to sign the animal control citation, operating 
an unpermitted landfill, operating an unpermitted waste tire 
facility, failure to report lost or abandoned property and the 
illegal use of dairy cases. He remains in the Polk County Jail 
as of Monday morning.

Keene and Liboy are both charged with improperly building and 
maintaining septic and operating an unpermitted landfill. Both 
posted bail.

Eccleston remains in jail as of Monday and is charged with 
improperly building and maintaining septic.

Tony Wiggins Jr. and William Robert Wiggins, two of the suspects 
arrested last week in the triple homicide, are also facing 
charges related to the property. They are charged with 
improperly building and maintaining septic tanks, operating an 
unpermitted landfill and operating an unpermitted waste tire 
facility. Both remain in the Polk County Jail.
