Florida Man Charged in Wife's Murder Found Dead in Jail

David Knezevich, a Florida businessman awaiting trial for the kidnapping and murder of his estranged wife Ana Knezevich in Spain, was found dead by apparent suicide in his cell at the Federal Detention Center in Miami. Authorities discovered him unresponsive on Monday morning, and he was pronounced dead after failed life-saving efforts; the FBI and other agencies are investigating his death. Knezevich had been indicted on multiple charges, including kidnapping resulting in death and foreign murder of a U.S. national, after his wife disappeared from her Madrid apartment in February 2024, with strong evidence allegedly linking him to the crime. Ana's body has not been found, and her family expressed that his death, while closing a painful chapter, likely means they will never recover her remains or learn the full circumstances of her fate. Prosecutors are expected to dismiss the charges following his death. The couple was reportedly involved in a contentious divorce over substantial assets at the time of her disappearance.
