The Ranchette Road arrest report says the man charged admitted killing his mother, but the Lee County Sheriff's Office still cannot positively identify the woman who died

The arrest report in the Ranchette Road case became public on Tuesday, July 28, and WINK News reported that in it George Beemer, 23, admitted to shooting his mother, waiting for her to die and then setting her body on fire.

WINK News also reported that the Lee County Sheriff's Office released body camera video showing Beemer's arrest, which took place on Saturday, July 25.

In the same report, WINK said the body found in the home is so badly burned that the sheriff's office still cannot positively identify it. The agency has not publicly released the woman's name. FOX 13, reporting the arrest separately, said authorities have not released her name or identity.

That leaves the case in an unusual position. The relationship between the man charged and the woman who died is now in most headlines on this story, and it comes from what the charging document says Beemer told detectives. It has not been confirmed by an identification.

Money & World reported the fire on Ranchette Road in South Fort Myers, and reported the charges on Monday, July 27. The charges are second-degree murder, first-degree arson and abuse of a dead human body.

The sheriff's office account of the sequence, reported previously, is that Beemer called 911 on the Saturday morning reporting chest pain and was taken to a hospital by Lee County EMS, that a second 911 call reported a fire at the same address shortly after the ambulance left, and that fire crews entering the home found the severely burned body of a woman. Detectives said they developed probable cause that she was shot before the home was intentionally set alight.

Beemer remains in the Lee County Jail. WINK News reported that he was scheduled to appear for a motions hearing on Wednesday.

There is no public agency document setting out these facts at a stable address. The sheriff's office distributes case releases to newsrooms directly rather than posting them to its website, and the arrest report is described here as WINK News reported reading it.

Everything above is an allegation contained in a charging document or an account given by investigators. An admission recorded in an arrest report is not a conviction, and no court has ruled on any part of this. Beemer has not entered a plea and has not been convicted of any offense.

The identification of the woman rests with the District 21 Medical Examiner's Office. The cause and origin of the fire rests with the Bureau of Fire, Arson and Explosives Investigations, which has been running a parallel inquiry.
