When I got out here there were 3 crime scene vans and a lee county sheriffs deputy blocking off this section of road.

You can see the tape stretching from here on the road- all the way back into the woods and were not being allowed any closer.

Its not a scene Carolyn Kimes has seen often in her 22 years living on pine island.

Sot Carolyn Kimes, pine island resident 4:45:10 I thought something

really drastic was going on on the island because e don't usually have

that much activity on any given day 15

The activity included crime scene vans and a lee county sheriffs

deputy- Who told us hes been instructed not to leave the area unattended.

It's an area that's been searched before.

By foot,

And by horse.

sot Caroline

4:45:49 the only time I heard of any was when the school teacher came

up missing. Of course that was last summer 55 that was really tragic

we were all wondering and hoping that they would find something- find

her 04

Her ex husband turned boyfriend Daniel proctor is a suspect in Her disappearance.

And after being sentenced for other crimes today- sources tell us he told investigators where to find Amy's body.

This site- is just 1.2 miles away from her home.

Kennth Honc is the closest neighbor to the taped off area.

Sot Kenneth

think a bank owns it right now, anyway it's not being worked it's just

kinda sitting idle 13

And although he looks out here-

Sot Kenneth

7:30:33 you don't really go in there, I drive by 'em everyday but

don't actually go in 'em. 38

What's in he- is still unknown.

Sot Caroline

4:46:20 I hope they find what they're looking for and i hope that it

resolves something, whatever it is 25

The lee county's sheriffs office is not commenting as to the nature of this situation, only calling it an active investigation.

Tampa Police and federal authorities are planning for the worst.

And that includes getting ready for rowdy anarchist groups who may try to disrupt the Republican National

Convention.

nats

In this noisy simulation, you can see Tampa police, some in riot gear, some on

horses, others using tear gas as they break up fake protests.

And today police confirmed this troubling incident was real --

Someone made their way onto the roof top of this building and stored bricks

and a pipe--possibly to throw at convention attendees. The building's only

a mile from the convention. /

Chief Jane

"There is no doubt that there is a small percentage who will come here bent

on destruction. And those are the individuals who will deal with very

quickly, those are the individuals who left those items on that rooftop."

Nothing's being overlooked. Air space over the convention -- restricted, the waterways -- monitored by armed security.

And many streets -- closed. The city is even planning for what happens if there are mass casualties.

Law enforcement sources tell ABC News they have NOT identified any specific plots, nor do thy have intelligence about a major disruption--but authorities are expecting

members of anarchist groups and other groups to be here.

They also expect mass arrests like those at
