PORT ST. LUCIE </B> Police on Saturday excavated the body of a 39-year-old woman, missing since Wednesday, from a shallow grave in the backyard of her home.
They also called her estranged husband, currently jailed on an unrelated charge, the prime suspect in her homicide.
The body of Julia Rolan-Estrada, 39, of the 1800 block of Rainier Road, was found in a freshly covered 3-foot-deep grave near the patio of the beige and white home she shared with her husband, Albert Estrada, 40. The couple had lived in the home for five years.
Police began investigating Rolan-Estrada's "suspicious disappearance" at about 9 a.m. Friday after several co-workers reported that she had not shown up for work the past two days, Port St. Lucie Police Capt. Scott Bartal said. She was last seen at about 5 p.m. Wednesday when she left work at a medical supplies firm in Stuart.
During the missing person investigation, police began to suspect foul play and had a "cause for alarm" that a body might be in the backyard of the home, Bartal said. Officials used a K-9 cadaver dog from Largo to find the body at about 4 p.m. Saturday, police spokesman Officer Rob Vega said. The cause of death was not immediately apparent, Bartal said.
