(WTIC-AM) -- Waterbury Police say a body found in woods in Wolcott Tuesday evening is that of a missing 26-year-old Brass City woman.

"Sadly, the worst nightmares of the family and friends were confirmed.  The deceased was identified as Janet Avalo-Alvarez," said Waterbury Police Lieutenant David Silverio.


Silverio says the case has been deemed a homicide. 

Avalo-Alvarez was reported missing November 13. 

She was a co-owner of a city nightspot who police say had a personal relationship with the suspect, Alfredo Peguero-Gomez.

Police are working with US Marshals to find him.

Silverio says Avalo-Alvarez died from neck compression. 

Peguero-Gomez may have fled the country. 

His car was found in a lot at Newark International Airport in New Jersey.
