Police substation opens at mall after murders
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- An upscale Boca Raton mall where a mother and daughter were murdered has opened a new mall substation and closed-circuit television command post.
The new substation which opened Thursday at Town Center will be an operational base for Boca Raton police officers who currently patrol the mall.
The bodies of Nancy Bochicchio, 47, and her 7-year-old daughter Joey were discovered in their car outside the mall in December. Nancy had a pair of swimming goggles over her eyes and was bound with plastic ties.
A second mother and young child were abducted in August in a similar fashion but were let go. No one has been charged with the crimes.
Mall security was increased after the murders though mall officials say the substation was planned before the crimes.
