On May 7, 2008, 23-year-old Rachel Morningstar Hoffman (December 17, 1984 – May 7, 2008),[1] was murdered by two drug dealers, 23-year-old Deneilo Bradshaw and 25-year-old Andrea Green after being pressured to act as a police informant in a botched drug sting by the Tallahassee Police Department.[2] Her body was recovered two days later near Perry, Florida.[3] Hoffman's death led to the implementation of "Rachel's Law", which imposed stricter requirements for law enforcement agencies for undercover informants operating in Florida.[4]
