Longtime Salem resident Karina Moreno, 42, was found dead after authorities responded to reports of a domestic dispute in a city near Atlanta.
A Salem woman was found dead in Georgia earlier this month, leading authorities to arrest a man and charge him with murder.
The death of Karina Moreno, 42, was confirmed by the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office, and an obituary has been posted online.
On Oct. 6, deputies were dispatched to an address on Chastain Drive in Cartersville, Georgia. The city is located northwest of Atlanta. They had received reports of a domestic dispute and were called to conduct a welfare check.
After arriving at the house and not receiving any response from inside, the deputies forced their way in. They found Antonios Pete Kostopoulos, 52, inside with “suspected blood on his person.” He was taken into custody without incident, according to the sheriff’s office.
As authorities cleared the home, they found the body of Moreno on the living room floor wrapped in a blanket.
