BREAKING! 1997 Prime Suspect Arrested After 26 years

Rafael Ramos was a prime suspect in  his ex-wife Nusinaida Ramos’ death since the early 2000s, just a few years after police found her bloodied body in the living room of her Yonkers, New York.

According to a further report by Westchester County District, the 54-year-old allegedly strangled Ramos with T-shirt and beat her.

The former Sing Sing corrections officer was arrested and indicted Wednesday.

He pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder during his arraignment and is being held in Westchester County jail.

Rocah didn’t give a motive for the alleged murder, but Nusinaida’s sister-in-law, Eva Beauchamps, told The Journal News that Rafael was “extremely angry” at the time because Nusinaida wanted to increase child support and considered moving to Florida.

“I thought I was going to the grave with nothing ever happening in this case,” Beauchamps told the local newspaper after Wednesday’s arraignment.

“It’s been a long time coming … She was so vibrant, so beautiful. You could be having the worst day ever, and she made you laugh ’til your cheeks hurt.

Rocah announced the indictment, along with the sentencing of the man who killed Pamela Graddick in 2012, on Thursday and said she hopes these actions bring “some measure of closure to the families who have lived with these unsolved cases for a combined 36 years.”

Yonkers Police Commissioner Christopher Sapienza applauded the efforts of the Yonkers Police Cold Case detectives, who worked both cases.
