Rene J. Perez, 38, was arrested on March 10 and charged with murder. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office<\/p>\n
Perez had allegedly arranged a night out for her birthday celebration on Oct. 28, 2024, prompting Campitelli to send him a tender but cryptic message the day before she was killed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI LOVE YOU, I FEEL KINDA WEIRD. I DON\u2019T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT TOMORROW. YOU\u2019VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS FOR ME BEFORE AND I FEEL A LITTLE NERVOUS,\u201d message read, according to an affidavit viewed by WPTV.<\/p>\n
Campitelli\u2019s battered body was found on an isolated roadside not far from her still-running Chevy Tahoe, according to the affidavit from the West Palm Beach Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n
A photo from her phone shows a \u201chappy birthday\u201d blanket laid out over the lowered back seat, plus absorbent medical pads from the hospital where she and Perez both worked.<\/p>\n
Campitelli\u2019s body had a broken skull and ribs, along with signs of blunt force trauma on her back and neck.<\/p>\n

The body showed signs of being dragged, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The pair had been dating for two years and texted on WhatsApp almost every day, prosecutors say.<\/p>\n
Perez claimed he had cancelled the meet-up and wasn\u2019t there when she was killed, but investigators found no messages calling it off.<\/p>\n
Perez was arrested Tuesday in Miami; he faces charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Florida nurse sent a haunting WhatsApp message to her lover the day before he murdered her on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":188618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[265,28,30,29,4538,4278],"class_list":["post-188617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-crime","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-murders","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
