State police report that Nancy M. Boland of Waltoffer Avenue in North Bellmore has been arrested and charged with manslaughter in the death of her ex-husband Walter Boland, who was found on a bike path along Wantagh State Parkway last Friday morning by a jogger.
An autopsy determined he had died from a single stab wound to the lower abdomen.
An investigation into the incident led police to charge Ms. Boland after it was learned a domestic dispute took place at their home. State police say the stabbing took place late Wednesday evening, and that Mr. Boland never received medical attention after receiving the wound.
The police report said that Ms. Boland drove around with Mr. Boland’s body for approximately four hours before placing the body on the bike path at 4 a.m.
State Police Public Information Officer Frank Bandiero told The Citizen that while the investigation was still ongoing, no one else is being charged at this time.
Ms. Boland was also charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon, and Tampering with Physical Evidence.
