MIAMI — The 42-year-old son of a prominent Spanish hotelier was found murdered on Virginia Key shortly after he arrived in town on a business trip, officials said. The nude body of Anthony Pike was found Monday in woods on the barrier island. It wasn’t identified until Wednesday. Police said Pike suffered head injuries.
Police said the younger Pike lived in Australia, where he ran an advertising agency, and apparently was on his first visit to Miami. He arrived on a business trip from Madrid on Sunday afternoon.
Pike’s Hotel, a secluded 26-suite property on the Spanish island of Ibiza, is a favorite of pop stars and other millionaires.
