James Robertson, 40, of Satellite Beach, Florida, died on April 5, 2020. Born in Melbourne on December 7, 1979, he attended Satellite High School and was remembered by friends and family for his love of the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, and for his adventurous spirit and kind heart.

Initial uncertainty about the circumstances of his death gave way to a criminal investigation after authorities determined his death was not from natural causes. Investigators developed persons of interest, conducted numerous interviews, and at a later stage arrested and charged an individual; the case went to trial and resulted in a conviction.

James’s death clearly affected the Satellite Beach community and his family, who followed the investigation and court proceedings closely. If anyone knew James, his last movements, or has information relevant to his case, please share what is known.
