Domestic violence rears its ugly head as body of missing Bronx mother of four Tina Adovasio found in wooded area off Taconic Parkway, estranged husband, Edwin Coello, to turn himself in to police.

SHOCK: The body of missing Bronx Mom Tina Adovasio, who is estranged from her ex-police husband Edwin Coello, was found in a patch of woods in Westchester County on Wednesday night by teens riding four-wheelers, the New York Daily News said. Coello, who has a history of abusing his wife, is expected to turn himself in to police today. Adovasio's body was discovered off Taconic Parkway in Yorktown Heights, the newspaper said.

Adovasio so feared her raging husband that she applied for a restraining order the same day she filed for divorce last month, sources said. During questioning after her disappearance, Coello seemed to be the "helpful husband" until about 12 hours in when detectives asked to look at his car. He refused and clammed up, sources said.

He did tell detectives Adovasio scratched him before storming out of their home Friday night, sources said. "It was as if he knew what was going to happen so he told us that they had fought earlier and she had scratched him, in case we found his skin under her fingernails," one source close to the probe said.
