OD Victim's Body Dumped off the Palisades Parkway: Prosecutor

By DANIEL HUBBARD (Patch Staff)

A New Jersey man led police Wednesday to a woman’s body he allegedly dumped along the Palisades Parkway in Alpine after she overdosed on drugs.

Now the 19-year-old faces charges of failing to report the death of a person and unlawfully disturbing human remains.

It’s been a year since the woman disappeared.

Mila Kostadinova’s family reported her missing to the Dumont (NJ) Police Department on June 2, 2014. Kostadinova was with several friends before she went missing and was at Antony Freay’s house in Cresskill, NJ in the early morning of June 2, authorities said.

Prosecutors allege that after she had overdosed on drugs, Freay kept Kostadinova’s body at his residence before dumping it off in the Palisades, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli told Cliffviewpilot.com.

Freay led investigators June 17 to the spot where he said he disposed of the body. A body was found near the Women’s Federation Monument along the Palisades Interstate Parkway in Alpine, but has yet been positively identified as Kostadinova’s, the website reported. The investigation and search for Kostadinova’s body is ongoing, Molinelli said.

Freay, who is single and unemployed, was also charged with unlawfully desecrating or damaging human remains, hindering apprehension by concealing evidence, and hindering apprehension by providing false information, Molinelli said.

Freay’s arraignment date has not been determined yet. He was sent to the Bergen County Jail for failing to pay $50,000 bond with no 10 percent option.
