British Author ‘Lindsay de Feliz’ Living In DR Found Dead Strangled In Shallow Grave

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. (THECOUNT) — British author, Lindsay de Feliz, was found strangled and buried in a shallow grave outside her Dominican Republic home days after she was reported missing, according to local media reports.

Authorities said Danilo Feliz, Feliz’ 50-year-old husband, reported the author missing on Tuesday. On Thursday, he was arrested in connection with her death along with the couple’s 29-year-old son, Dani Alberto Feliz, and a third man, 37-year-old Anquilino Rosario Sanchez.

The body of Feliz, 64, was found Thursday by a canine unit in the woods near her home in Moncion, according to local news outlet, Hoy. Her body, which showed signs of strangulation, had reportedly been buried in a 2-foot-deep hole, wrapped in a yellow sheet and plastic bags used for dog food, reports dailybeast.

“We are in close contact with the police in the Dominican Republic following the death of a British woman in Mao,” a spokesperson for the U.K. Foreign Office told The Independent.

Some of her former classmates and friends offered a reward this week for any information resulting in de Feliz’s discovery, writing on Facebook that she was “in great spirits” before she disappeared.

“She is loved by so many people and is the most generous caring woman I have ever met,” Easton Hector-Brown wrote.
