Police UPDATE: In a report I was first to tell you about police confirmed:
On October 18, 2020 Jennifer Brelsford was found deceased inside her home at 176 Goddard Avenue. Detectives quickly identified a person of interest, who is believed to be responsible for the murder of Brelsford. This person is Corey Ramos 7/8/90, who is the estranged boyfriend of Brelsford. Detectives worked with law enforcement in Connecticut and Vermont to track the whereabouts of Ramos, and we learned that he crossed into the State of Vermont yesterday after Brelsford was killed. Detectives alerted law enforcement in New England and New York to be on the lookout for Ramos.
On October 19, 2020 Ramos attempted to illegally cross the northern border from Vermont, into Canada. US Border Agents, US Customs and Border Protection officers and Royal Canadian Mounted Police worked together to detain Ramos over the border in Canada. Ramos was transferred back into the custody of United States law enforcement. Ramos is being held by the Vermont State Police, charged as a fugitive from justice based on a felony warrant issued today in Connecticut that charges Ramos with two counts of violating a protective order. It is anticipated that Ramos will be charged with the murder of Brelsford in the coming days, and will be extradited back to Connecticut to await trial.
The alleged suspect Corey Ramos, 20, was captured by customs agents trying to enter Canada. This is unconfirmed by police at this time.
