The Luzerne County District Attorney announced the body buried in the basement of a home on Carlise Street has been identified as Nicole Cuevas.

The DA stated Cuevas was living at Carlise Street with several roommates in April 2023 when she was trying to get back to Michigan. Investigators reported five people kidnapped Cuevas, brutally handcuffed her and beat her to death.

-----------------------------------------

On March 26, detectives were seen investigating a body discovery around a wooded area along Exit 1 of the North Cross Valley Expressway behind the Host Inn.

Tuesday Sanguedolce confirmed the body discovered was identified as Debra Fox who was buried behind the Host Inn in Wilkes-Barre. Investigators noted Fox owned the Carlise Street home.

The death investigation of both Cuevas and Fox have been connected through the District Attorney’s Office investigation however detectives have yet to release the tie between the two.

DA: Five arrested in Wilkes-Barre human remains investigation

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Five people have been arrested in the investigation of human remains found on Carlisle Street in Wilkes-Barre where the victim was kidnapped and tortured,…

Poor Nicole. RIP. Her story sounds somewhat similar to the story told by the man who was found bloodied in the street after he escaped from the basement of the house. If investigators know she was kidnapped and beaten by five people, they presumably have a good idea who at least some of those five people are. (Edit: Apparently all five have been arrested.)

Debra Fox was buried, so she was also probably murdered. RIP Debra. If she was last in contact with relatives in February, it's possible she was killed after the body of Nicole was found in the house.

Something really bad was obviously going on in that house. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there turn out to be more than just the two victims.

so Debra vacated her residence in summer of 2023, moved into a hotel and was last seen there by her daughters in November 2023. I wonder if the Host Inn was the hotel Debra moved into? If so she was found very near to where she was last seen.

--------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile articles say that a couple of the arrested folks already lived in the house owned by Debra Fox, then in March of 2023 several more moved in there. Cuevas-Ingram came to visit and was tortured and murdered there in April of 2023 and her remains buried in the basement.

This would seem to suggest that Fox was still residing in that home during the spring of 2023 when Nicole came for her visit that ended in her murder. I wonder if Debra took these people into her home and then lived (maybe even died) to regret it. Why else would a woman who owned a home vacate it and leave others to remain there and move herself into a hotel? I think Ms. Fox got hooked up with some crack addicts who took over her house and she moved out to get away from them. JMO

"She has a big heart; she'll take anybody in. She'd rather see people safe than be homeless and all that. Somebody has to know where she is," said Danielle.

MOO if the five arrested had anything to do with Debra's murder it was because she knew too much to let her live.

So it looks like this is yet another case of someone too good for this world, perhaps too naïve, getting destroyed by the absolute dregs of society she tried to help.

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Intense and very active, that’s how police are describing their investigation into what they are calling a house of horrors.
------------------------------------
In late March, the body of the longtime owner of the house, 69-year-old Debra Fox, was found in a wooded area near the North Cross Valley Expressway. Her death has not been called a homicide.

Mehalshick asked District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce if homicide charges were forthcoming in the death of Fox.
“So it’s too early to comment on further arrests. Obviously, five people were arrested in the death of Nicole Cueva. If we were able to prove in fact Debra Fox’s death is a homicide, then we would expect more homicide charges to follow from that fact,” Sanguedolce said

I’d like to believe that given her protective order, she wasn’t a kind fool so much as an easy target.

During the pandemic, a woman in my city was alleged to die naturally at home. Squatters came upon her and were delighted her bills had been set to autopay. They dismembered the elderly woman and buried her in the backyard.
