Authorities in Philadelphia believe human remains found in a garage over the weekend belong to a mother reported missing a day earlier.
Iveliss Lugo, 51, was last seen alive Saturday morning at her Crescentville neighborhood home with her estranged husband.
Her daughters reported her missing and started looking for her before police located her remains on Sunday.
Officers found a woman’s body with multiple stab wounds wrapped in a blanket and a towel in the garage of Lugo’s home.
Though a positive identification is pending, the body is believed to be Lugo’s.
Police are now looking for Lugo’s estranged husband, 34-year-old Miguel Aguilar, as a person of interest in the case.
“They were great people. They were nice. The crime doesn’t fit them. I can say that,” a neighbor said of the couple.
