Half-naked woman found at garbage bin behind fast-food restaurant in Miami: South Florida Sun-Sentinel


What's even worse is that the Sun Sentinel features a frame capture from their news partner, NBC 6, with the caption "Woman in Dumpster."

The NBC 6 site continues the hype by writing a headline which doesn't match the story.

MIAMI -- Miami-Dade police say a woman found half-naked near a Dumpster Friday may be a victim of sexual battery.

A garbage truck operator found the woman by a Dumpster behind the Wendy's along the 7300 block of Northwest 36th Street in Miami-Dade County.
They owe us an apology for this.
