Gonzalez
TOWN OF WALLKILL – Two of Ramona Gonzalez’s four children last Friday alerted a neighbor that their mother was missing and that they hadn’t seen her since before school on Thursday.
The neighbor of the Liberty woman, believing her disappearance was suspicious, alerted the police, said State Police Troop F Commander Major Joseph Tripodo said Monday.
On Saturday night, February 6, as a result of the investigation, Ramona Gonzalez’s body was located in a wooded area off Willow Heights Road in South Fallsburg. Ramona, 33, was the victim of a gunshot wound.
The murder weapon, a shotgun, was found near her body.
Her husband, Jorge Gonzalez, 65, was later arrested and charged with murder and endangering the welfare of a child. He is being held in Sullivan County Jail, without bail.
The investigation, between the State Police and the Village of Liberty Police Department, and assisted by the Sullivan County District Attorney’s Office and the Town of Fallsburg Police Department, is still ongoing.
No motive for the killing has been released.
