Police are searching for a man caught on surveillance video driving a pickup truck, investigators say, who was carrying a woman's body – a body later dumped in a secluded industrial area of South Miami‑Dade .

The discovery was made early Friday morning at the entrance of a business near Southwest 170th Street and 99th Avenue, an area business owners say few people know about.

Ron Von Paulus, a business owner in the area, shared the surveillance footage with investigators.

The video shows the pickup pulling in, making a U‑turn and driving toward the spot where police later found the victim.

Police told Paulus the victim was a woman.

"It was a female and she was badly beaten up… that's all they shared with me," he said.
