Ottopoikaa epäillään äitinsä surmasta Floridassa
Lähetetty: To Heinä 21, 2011 1:49 pm
43-vuotias kiinteistövälittäjä Natalie Belmonte, 43, katosi viime sunnuntaina Pembroke Pinesissa Etelä-Floridassa, mutta mitä ilmeisimmin hänen ruumiinsa löydettiin eilen suosta läheltä hänen kotiaan. Hänen adoptoimansa ja kanssaan asunut veljenpoika Gerard Belmonte, 21, on ollut hyvinkin yhteistyöhaluinen poliisin kanssa, mutta silti hän on tällä hetkellä pääepäilty ottoäitinsä surmasta ja hänet on vastikään pidätetty. Hänellä on vankilataustaa ja hänellä on edessään myös kanne 20.000 USD arvoisten korujen varastamisesta äidiltään vuonna 2008. Ei siis vaikuta kovin mukavalta perhetarinalta...

Adopted son of missing Pembroke Pines woman arrested

PEMBROKE PINES—
Police on Wednesday arrested the adopted son of a slain real estate agent and said they plan to charge him with first-degree murder in her death.
Gerard Belmonte, 21, was being interviewed by detectives at the Pembroke Pines Police station Wednesday evening.
Authorities declined to say what Belmonte has told them, but they said he is scheduled to be taken to a Broward jail Wednesday night.
Detectives discovered what they think is the body of Natalie Belmonte, who has been missing since Sunday, in a marshy wetland area about two miles from her home. The site is west of 196th Avenue near Chapel Trail Elementary school and the residential development Chapel Trail Estates.
"We have not yet made positive ID of the body but believe it may be the body of Natalie Belmonte," said Capt. Dan Rakofsky said at a press conference two hours after the body was found.
Belmonte, who has lived in her neighborhood for about 17 years, was last seen about 2:30 a.m. Sunday when she returned to her home in the 19300 block of Northwest Fifth Street after attending a party, police said.
She is a divorced mother of two grown sons and one grown daughter, neighbors said. She adopted one son, Gerard, now 21, from her homeland of Guyana after his father, Natalie Belmonte's brother, died when he was about 9, and they live together. Her other children live with their father, a neighbor said.
The Miami Herald reported that Natalie Belmonte's other children are a 20-year-old daughter and a 17-year-old son.
However, the Herald reported that court records indicate a strain in the relationship between Belmonte and her adopted son.
In March 2008, Natalie Belmonte pressed charges against Gerard, accusing him of stealing about $20,000 in jewelry and selling it to a second-hand store. According to court records obtained by the Herald, Gerard, who was 17 at the time, provided a taped confession to authorities admitting to the theft. A court hearing on the grand felony theft charges is scheduled for Sept. 15, the Herald reported.
Resident Kimberly Behm, 40, who's lives in the neighborhood east of where the body was found said she heard helicopters on Wednesday morning and thought of Belmonte, whose story she'd learned from news reports, when she saw crime unit vehicles.
"It occurred to me that they have found something," Behm said on Wednesday afternoon. "It's shocking to know this happened right outside the gates to our house."
Behm said she watched on Wednesday morning as authorities carried a large white cooler out the marshy area, load it into a truck and drive it away.
Eilene Acosdac, who lives three blocks from the marshy area, described the situation as purely "frightening."
"It makes you wonder what kind of neighborhood this is," she said. "This is not a pretty picture and this is not a good feeling."
Authorities centered their search around the western Pembroke Pines area because a home surveillance video recorded on the morning the real estate agent went missing shows someone carrying a large object out of the woman's house and then returning to the home minutes later, several sources close to the investigation said.
Investigators theorized that the person on the video may have been trying to get rid of evidence, and since that person returned to the home minutes later, they could not have driven very far, the sources said.
Earlier this week, investigators found evidence in several trash bins in western Pembroke Pines that pointed to "foul play," Rakofsky said. Police found some evidence related to Belmonte's disappearance inside a trash bin behind the Publix supermarket at 19400 Sheridan St., but declined to identify exactly what was found.
Authorities on Wednesday urged anyone who may have seen a maroon Lexus ES 350 sedan on or near 196th Avenue between 5:15 a.m. and 6:45 a.m. Sunday to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477 (TIPS).
Belmonte owns a car of the same color, make and model. A reward of up to $1,000 has been offered.
