On April 21, 2015, the remains of a woman found four days earlier near an intersection in South Blooming Grove, New York, United States, were identified as those of Ramona Moore. She had not been seen for almost three years since re-entering her apartment near Crotona Park in the Bronx to get a mango for a neighbor. In 2014, New York City police had charged her building superintendent, Nasean Bonie, with her murder. Bonie had been suspected of killing Moore from the beginning of the investigation into her disappearance. She had been having a dispute with him over her rent payments, and on the night she was last seen circumstantial evidence suggests he might have been disposing of a body. A 2013 search of the basement of Moore's apartment resulted in a lawsuit from Bonie alleging the police stole money from him. Upon his arrest in Pennsylvania by federal marshals, he reportedly claimed that the absence of a body precluded any murder charges against him. His trial, which would have been the first murder trial in the history of Bronx County without the decedent's body in evidence, was set to begin just days after Moore's body was found.〔 Bonie's trial has been postponed while medical examiners determine the cause of death. At the time Moore disappeared, Bonie was facing assault charges for an attack on his wife that left her seriously injured. Shortly after Moore's body was discovered, he was sentenced to four years in prison for that incident.〔 ==Background== In spring 2012 the 35-year-old Moore, a Guyanese American, was living on Jefferson Place in the Bronx neighborhood of Claremont, two blocks south of Crotona Park, in a row of attached single-family houses that qualified as Section 8 affordable housing. She rented the house from a Guyanese couple, Krystal Campbell and Nasean Bonie. Although Campbell owned the houses, she delegated management responsibilities to her husband, the building superintendent. Both Moore and Bonie had been having legal difficulties at the time. Three of Moore's four children, who lived with her, had been removed from the house earlier in the year and placed in foster care by the city's Administration for Children's Services (ACS) after they investigated and substantiated reports that they had been neglected, missing school and staying at home by themselves during some of her frequent absences. She did not have a job. She was, however, hoping to have at least the eldest, her daughter Rashina, move back in later in the summer after she completed the required programs.〔 On July 12 of that year, Bonie beat Campbell with a tray table, his belt and his fists, fracturing her skull in the process.〔 He was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, a felony. Moore told a neighbor Bonie had been trying to extort money from her under the guise of rent.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramona Moore murder case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
