That’s the building my boyfriend lived in until just last year. I’ll have to mention this to him. Glad she was found!

another quick question — if the family went to the police then why didn’t the police have this put on TV — this is very important —

Tell every traffic enforcement cop in the area to put away their ticket book for half a day and pretend this woman is an illegally parked car and find her.

So sad. My mom had dementia and this was always my fear. I hope she is found safe and sound.

A Brooklyn man was indicted by a Queens grand jury on charges of manslaughter, drunk driving and other crimes for a fatal collision in Astoria that killed his long-time girlfriend and mother of their young child in February.

Ray Perez, 27, of Caton Avenue in Flatbush, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on a 13-count indictment charging him with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly speeding through a stop sign in Astoria, colliding with another vehicle and slamming into two parked cars, and then driving nearly four miles away to a street in Maspeth before seeking help for his 29-year-old girlfriend Bridget Enriquez, who later succumbed to her injuries.
