BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. (TCD) -- A 36-year-old man was taken into custody on suspicion of killing his missing wife and transporting her body to another location.
Thirty-nine-year-old Mimose Dulcio was last seen Nov. 10 at her home in unincorporated Central Broward and reported missing two days later on Nov. 12. The Broward County Sheriff's Office began investigating her disappearance, and several days later, investigators reportedly discovered her body in a wooded area in Miami-Dade County, according to NBC Miami.
Dulcio's husband, Jose Pacheco, was taken into custody in Miami-Dade County and later transferred to Broward County.
Dulcio's sister told NBC Miami Dulcio and Pacheco were in the midst of a "messy divorce."
According to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, investigators searched Pacheco and Dulcio's home and vehicle and reportedly "found evidence that suggested Dulcio had been murdered in the couple's home, and that her body had been transported in the couple's shared vehicle and disposed of in an unknown location."
Pacheco is being held in the Broward County Jail for second-degree murder.
