Bodies Of Missing New York Couple Reportedly Found In Dominican Republic

The family of a New York couple is reeling now that authorities are reporting that their relatives might be dead. NBC News reports that Orlando Moore and his girlfriend, Portia Ravenelle, never returned from their Caribbean vacation on March 27.

The National Police of the Dominican Republic have released a statement reporting that investigators discovered bodies “with characteristics similar to the American couple” that are now being taken for autopsies.

There’s also a car that was found in the Caribbean Sea that was rented to the couple, they add.

A man’s body in “advanced stages of decomposition” was found in the car and recovered on March 31. Local fishermen told police they found a woman in serious condition. That woman was hospitalized but died on April 4.
