Police find missing woman's body in Fox Chase; suspect identified
The Philadelphia Police Department is continuing to investigate after they say a missing woman's body was found in Fox Chase Thursday. Sources say detectives believe the victim's 29-year-old alleged boyfriend is the suspect.
PHILADELPHIA - The body of a woman who went missing on Halloween was found in Philadelphia’s Fox Chase neighborhood Thursday night, police sources say.
Police were made aware a woman was last seen on Halloween at 7 p.m. on the 900 block on Sanger Street,
On Thursday, police sources told FOX 29’s Steve Keeley that the victim's body was found buried in a shallow grave near Veree Road along Tustin Avenue.
After the victim was reported missing, police began investigating.
Sources say they looked into the alleged boyfriend of the victim, identified as Geovanni Otero, 29, and found he has a criminal history involving a gun case.
Otero was on parole for that case and had a GPS-tracking ankle monitor which sources say helped detectives narrow him down as the suspect.
Based on the GPS tracker and more developing evidence, sources say police believe Otero killed the woman near the area where she was last seen, brought her a few miles away to the scene in Fox Chase and buried her body.
This is an ongoing investigation.
