Former NYPD Officer Arrested for Murdering His Wife


Nursing Jobs By State

Family and friends mourned at the loss of Tina Adovasio at her funeral, while her estranged husband was obviously not around.  Former NYPD cop, Edwin Coello, was apprehended in connection to Adovasio?s death by New York City police in the Bronx last week Tuesday.

At 2:30 p.m., Coello was picked up by police last Tuesday at a relative?s house, according to his counsel Renee Hill.  A representative for the Deputy Commissioner's Office said Second-degree murder was charged against him that night.

Hill advised Patch she will defend the man, who was presumed to be indicted in court last Wednesday afternoon. She revealed, as the usual part of formal procedure he will enter a no guilty plea.

The 40-year-old Adovasio was found dead in a thickly wooded area off the Taconic State Parkway in Yorktown near Baldwin Road Wednesday night, five days after she disappeared on March 11.

Police recounted, her husband reported her missing after an argument. However he was complying with the authorities at first. But after his wife?s corpse was found he immediately hired two lawyers, rejected to have his car searched and refused to give a DNA sample. He was named a ?person of interest,? two weeks ago.

According to the District Attorney's Office in the Bronx, Coello has a history of domestic violence and was apprehended on Feb. 27, 2006 and accused with second-degree harassment against his wife, Tina Adovasio. He had reportedly been seen carrying a large duffle bag the day after Adovasio's disappearance, according to law enforcement authorities.

Coello?s presence was banned on Adovasio's wake, funeral, or burial according to a family member, who wishes not to be identified.

Adovasio, who is a mother of four, resided in the Bronx and worked as a nurse in the Maternity Department of New Rochelle's Sound Shore Medical Center.

She was survived by four children, her parents, two brothers, cousins, aunts, and uncles who all came to her funeral last week along with her ex-husband and her children?s friends.
