A woman's body found floating in
the water off St. Mary's County two
weeks ago was identified yesterday
as a student pilot from Annapolis
missing for more than a month.
The state Medical Examiner's Of-
fice confirmed through dental
records that the badly bruised and
decomposed body found Nov. 11 was

Investigators were unable to con-
firm the identity of the body until
Ms. Gonzales' dental records were
sent from her native Spain.
Police said there is no evidence of
foul play. Ms. Gonzales apparently
died from internal injuries sustained
in the crash.

safe for people to go to and from
Forest Drive," he said. "It's just
a matter of time before we have
another fatality."

Firefighter loses
plea to delay firing
A city firefighter fired for sexual
misconduct lost his plea yesterday to
postpone his dimissal until his ap-
peal is decided.
Robert T. Thomas was fired effec-
tive yesterday, but he'll be allowed
to keep his medical benefits until his
appeal of administrative charges ,is
completed, a county Circuit Court
judge ruled.
: . A hearing before the Civil Service
Board is set for Dec. 6.
-Mr. Thomas is the only public
safety officer fired since seven were
disciplined Nov. 1 after a city probe
into sexual misconduct.
: - Administrative charges against Lt.
Kenneth Rowe were withdrawn
Wednesday after the city agreed to
provide his attorney with further
documentation of the charges. He
remains on paid suspension pending
new disciplinary action. >
The city charges that Mr. Thomas
engaged in sexual practices while on
duty, said Samuel Brown, the veter-
an firefighter's attorney.
"We have the witnesses to show it
never occurred," Mr. Brown said. "I
believe once the (Civil Service
Board) hears the evidence, they are
going to wonder No. 1 why the city
has done what it has done and what
the basis for these charges are."
.. Of the public safety officers
named in the probe, six were found
to have engaged in on-duty. sexual
misconduct with women. A battalion
chief was charged with ignoring it.
:Two police officers and two fire-
fighters were suspended and demot-
ed. Lt. Rowe, Mr. Thomas and
Battalion Chief James M. Jones
were fired. Mr. Jones opted to re-
tire.
