David Knezevich, accused of murdering estranged wife in Spain, found dead in custody

David Knezevich, a South Florida businessman awaiting trial on federal charges related to the kidnapping and murder of his estranged wife, Ana Maria Henao Knezevich, in Spain, has died while in jail. His defense attorney confirmed his death, which has been reported as a suicide, and expressed the legal team's devastation, calling for a thorough investigation. Knezevich had been charged with kidnapping resulting in death, foreign domestic violence resulting in death, and the foreign murder of a U.S. citizen after his wife vanished in Madrid during a contentious divorce. Prosecutors alleged that surveillance footage and other evidence linked Knezevich to the disappearance, including video of a man resembling him disabling security cameras and purchasing items used in the crime. Knezevich had pleaded not guilty, and his lawyers maintained his innocence. Further details about the circumstances of his death have not been released.
