Eddy Coello has been charged with the strangulation death of his estranged wife, whose body was found last week by two ATV riders near a golf course.
Coello, who was a New York City police officer for four years until he resigned in 2000, was a person of interest in the disappearance of Tina Adovasio, 40. The 38-year-old Coello had previously faced domestic violence charges, reports the New York Times.
