New Jersey Love Story

"TOMS RIVER, NJ — A 30-year-old Toms River woman was found dead in a car this afternoon, and her 36-year-old ex-fiance was discovered hanging in the garage of his Toms River home less than an hour later, Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford said.

"The body of Letizia Zindell, who had recently moved to the neighborhood, was discovered on King George Layne at about 3:15 p.m., authorities said. Shortly after 4 p.m., Frank Frisco was found hanging in the garage of his home on Lafayette Avenue, they said.

"The two had been engaged and living together, but the wedding was called off and the relationship ended about two months ago, authorities said. According to online wedding registry sites, the couple was registered at Macy's and Crate & Barrel and had planned to marry on June 21, 2009.

"Zindell's body was discovered in the back seat of a gray Acura TL sedan, which police removed from the neighborhood, with the body apparently still inside, shortly after 5 p.m. Investigators left the neighborhood shortly afterward.

"Ford would not say whether Zindell was killed in the car, or if her body was moved there after her death. Authorities also would not say if any weapons were recovered, or if marks or signs of trauma were found on Zindell's body. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.

"King George Layne is located in the well-manicured Penny Layne complex of condominiums with cream vinyl siding and faux brick exteriors, behind the Ocean County Mall.

"Felipe Jorge, 19, a lifeguard at the pool in the complex, said he heard Zindell come out of her condominium on King George Layne around 2:10 p.m. screaming `I can't believe you did this to me.`

"He said police told him Zindell was found with something stuffed in her mouth. Authorities would not confirm that she was gagged."
