HAZLETON, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a Pennsylvania woman reported missing after she didn't pick her kids up from school has been found strangled in her apartment.
Hazleton police say the body of 32-year-old Maria Brea was found Tuesday morning in the home she had shared with her boyfriend. Investigators say they want to speak with that man, who they identified as Oscar Lozano Garcia.
Police say Brea had recently ended her relationship with Garcia but are not calling him a suspect.
Brea was reported missing on Saturday by family members. Brea was expected to pick her children up from school Friday afternoon but never showed.
Luzerne County detectives and the FBI are assisting in the investigation.
