Police initially thought the victim, 47-year-old Shele Danishefsky Covlin, died after accidentally slipping in the tub because her only visible wound was a cut on the back of her neck and her Orthodox Jewish parents quickly buried her, refusing an autopsy according to custom. But an autopsy was eventually conducted and it revealed that Shele died from forced “compression to neck,” and the case was ruled a homicide. The suspect, Rod Covlin, 42, faces 25 years to life behind bars if convicted.
