Who is Susan Ambrosino, and what happened to her?

Susan Ambrosino was a resident of Long Island, New York, and seemingly had a perfect life that she shared with her husband, Keith Ambrosino, and daughter, Taylor. While it seemed that her life was going perfectly, things started spiraling out of control when Keith, a private in the US Army, was sent to Hungary.

During this time, Susan reportedly started growing closer to Keith's step-brother, Steven Schiovone, so much so that when Keith returned to New York, he found his wife quite distant. Their relationship never recovered from this, and eventually, they were headed for a divorce.

However, after the couple filed for divorce in February 2005, Susan went missing. Susan's brother, Anthony, reported this to the police, and a search for the woman began immediately. When Susan's purse was reportedly found in the neighborhood of Jamaica in Queens, the authorities could successfully narrow down the search radius.

On further inspection, the police discovered Susan's car, which was abandoned on East 182nd Street. On opening the trunk of the car, the police made a shocking discovery—Susan's dead body was stuffed into the trunk. An autopsy soon revealed that she was killed by a single gunshot wound to the head. It was also affirmed that she was pregnant and was killed on the night of February 24, 2005.

Her ex-husband Keith, with whom she had just finalized her divorce, was the chief suspect in the case. However, as the authorities dug deeper, they uncovered things that were far more sinister.

As the different strings of the case were slowly untangled, authorities deciphered that Susan was romantically involved with Keith's step-brother, Steven Schiovone. The affair began when Keith was away, and Keith noticed it when he returned. Susan was reportedly planning to replace Keith with Steven.

However, Steven allegedly feared that his brother would find out about his affair and ended up murdering her to keep her pregnancy a secret.

He was arrested and charged with the murder and remains behind bars as of today.
