FL - Delray Beach, Hisp/WhtFem, ‘Betzabe’ top, found in 3 suitcases in intracoastal waterway, Jul 2023 - Aydil Barbosa Fontes (80) *husband arrest*

[PatLaurel]

Oh, wow, in the same top in the picture.

It is not the same top.
Delray Beach PD did have two photos of her wearing the floral Betzabe top. Aydil looked older than 35-55 in one of them, a woman in her late 70s and unhappy. I hope it was an older photo and not one taken the day Lowe killed her.

MOO JMO

 

[PatLaurel]

She is the youngest looking 80 I have ever seen. Wow!

Regarding the sister, she is showing as owning a home in Kentucky with her husband? I'm assuming, if I am looking at the correct person. She previously showed at the same apartment address in Delray.

The sister, her parents and siblings were living in Kentucky in the 50s, but I believe they were originally from Tennessee. Also, her husband was from Kentucky, he died in 2012. Maybe she still owns some property there?!

I really don't think we have to worry about Lowe's sister. MOO JMO

You are right. She's wearing the same top.

This is such a strange case...alas spousal abuse and spousal murder is NOT uncommon, but it's crazy to see at this age. I don't want to give him excuses ofc; 78 year old are just as capable of being abusive, violent, and carrying out violence. But I wonder...any recent personality changes?? Any signs of dementia? Im sure they'll fully investigate that (and I'm betting if this goes to trial it will be his defense).

I don't know why I am ever surprised when a(n obviously-guilty, IMO) suspect enters a not guilty plea. Let's hope the wheels of justice run over this murdering loser in a timely manner.

It won’t fly. There is too much evidence in the house and his storage facility. He deserves the harshest sentence possible. Hope he gets what’s coming to him and worse.
