A Delaware man is facing murder charges after police found the body of his girlfriend in a parking lot near a local park.
Stephen Heck, 66, was taken into custody Tuesday in connection to the homicide of Cynthia Amalfitano, whose body was found Sept. 26 near Carousel Park.
Officers were called to Amalfitano's home for a welfare check the day before the gruesome discovery, and only found her cell phone, wallet and other possessions. Heck, Amalfitano's boyfriend, was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder following a "thorough investigation into the incident."
