Missing NJ woman's body found; Husband charged

ABERDEEN

Bail for 31-year-old /*Oscar Prior-Ramirez*/ of Eatontown was set at $1.5 million. He's been hospitalized for undisclosed reasons since 26-year-old /*Viridiana Beltran Gomez*/ went missing last month, and it's not clear if he's retained a lawyer.

Beltran-Gomez's body was found late Saturday afternoon, buried about 100 feet off the roadway near milemarker 119 in Aberdeen.

County prosecutor Peter Warshaw says investigators believe Beltran-Gomez died May 13, the day after she was last seen leaving her job at a Red Bank restaurant, but it's not clear how she was killed.

An autopsy was planned for Sunday.
