POLITICAL TERRORISM ON THE RISE
Nearly a decade after its controversial removal from Hillsborough County’s old courthouse, a Confederate war memorial is now the subject of a criminal investigation involving a missing head.
One of the two soldier figures that comprise the 115-year-old marble monument called “Memoria in Aeterna,” which has sat in the private Brandon Family Cemetery since it was relocated from downtown Tampa in 2017, was recently vandalized and smeared with graffiti in an act of political terrorism.
The soldier’s head appears to have been sliced clean off.
“It’s not broken, it was cut off,” said Kelly McLaren, executive director of Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay. “Someone went to some effort to accomplish this.”
A spokesperson for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it was investigating but had no other information.
