Diana Boggio, 41, of Belleville was reported missing in late January 2017. On the morning of Tuesday, January 31, her body was found in the trunk of her Honda Accord parked on Verona Avenue in Newark. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force opened an investigation that quickly focused on her boyfriend, 42-year-old Pedro Lora-Pena of Belleville. Authorities charged him with murder, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose, and moving or concealing human remains. Investigators say the killing did not occur in Newark and that Lora-Pena admitted to shooting Boggio three times during an argument that began after she was reportedly texting another man while they were driving home from a haircut, then placing her body in the trunk.

Does anyone have information about Diana’s last known movements in Belleville or the route taken between the two towns?
