The body was removed and taken to the Medical Examiner's Office for identification and to determine cause of death, authorities said.The next step, detectives said, was to talk to the woman's husband, Miguel Veras Gonzalez, 45, who returned to the home Friday and was arrested on a cocaine possession charge."He's in jail," Prieto said. "He's not going anywhere. We're going to be able to talk to him."Records showed that Gonzalez was charged last month for an assault on a family member.The couple, who met in church, have been married for about two years, according to family members.Neighbors said that they were shocked to learn about the buried body."It's very tragic," neighbor Rose Phillips said. "The whole community is in shock."
Phillips said that she lives across the street from Estrada, who has lived in this neighborhood for 10 years.Last Friday, the woman's daughter knocked on her door in tears, asking to use her phone, Phillips said."She said that they called and got no answer," Phillips said. "And so, she was over there knocking on the door and got no response at all. She said that is highly unlike her mom."Estrada is the mother of three daughters and has two grandchildren.Her family said that she has such a big heart that she converted her garage into a guest room so people she met through her church who did not have a home could stay there.The case is under investigation.
