Tallahassee, FL - The mayor of Tallahassee and the Florida head of the American Civil Liberties Union is calling for independent investigations after accusations that a 23-year-old woman should not have been used as a police informant on a dangerous drug bust.

Rachel Hoffman's body was found Friday in rural Taylor County, two days after she went missing. Hoffman, who was facing several felony charges, was working with narcotics officers and posing as a buyer.

Police say Hoffman didn't follow protocol when she left with the two men who are now suspects in her disappearance and death. Hoffman's family and attorney says the recent Florida State University graduate should never have been placed in such a dangerous position to begin with.

Hoffman's family is preparing for a funeral today at Ahavath Shalom synagogue in the Tampa Bay suburb of Palm Harbor.
