FBI Offering $25,000 Reward

The FBI Miami Field Office recently announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the successful recovery of the remains of Ana Maria Henao Knezevic.

Investigators allege that her husband David was reportedly disturbed at the prospect of splitting their wealth from joint business ventures as the result of a potential divorce. As a result, they believe he followed her to Spain, entered her apartment building, and killed her. He then fled Spain and returned to Serbia. Law enforcement has never recovered her remains.

David was arrested upon his return to the United States. Although he was charged in connection with her death, he died by suicide before the case could go to trial—and before her remains could be recovered.
