A federal grand jury in Miami has indicted a South Florida businessman on charges related to the disappearance and murder of his estranged wife in Spain. The accused, 36-year-old David Knezevich, faces charges of kidnapping resulting in death, foreign domestic violence resulting in death, and foreign murder of a US national.
The victim, Ana Maria Henao, went missing in February while residing in Madrid. Despite extensive search efforts, authorities have not yet located her body. The indictment alleges that Knezevich traveled from Miami to Spain with the intent to harm his spouse, resulting in her death.
Knezevich was arrested in May at Miami International Airport in connection with his wife's kidnapping. If convicted of the latest charges, he could potentially face the death penalty.
Henao's family expressed their grief and determination to seek justice for her. They emphasized the importance of honoring Ana's memory and advocating for accountability in her case.
While Knezevich's attorney maintains his innocence, citing lack of evidence, friends of the victim believe that justice will prevail. Surveillance footage and witness testimonies have been crucial in piecing together the events leading to Henao's disappearance.
The couple was undergoing a contentious divorce at the time of the incident. Prosecutors allege that Knezevich traveled through multiple countries before carrying out the kidnapping in Spain.
Details from court records and surveillance footage suggest a deliberate and premeditated act on Knezevich's part. The investigation continues as authorities work to uncover the truth behind this tragic case.
