\u201cIt\u2019s crazy,\u201d said Echevarria. \u201cI don\u2019t even think it\u2019s real. I think she\u2019s going to come [home] through that [apartment] door.\u201d <\/p>\n
A memorial sits outside 330 Bushwick Ave., where police sources told News 12 that Montgomery’s body was found in a garbage bag in the compactor room. <\/p>\n
A maintenance crew cleaned that compactor room on Tuesday, while investigators were back on the scene. <\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t understand why [my wife] was there,\u201d said Echevarria. <\/p>\n
He told News 12 that Montgomery left their Boerum Hill apartment Saturday night to hang out with friends. <\/p>\n
\u201cI trust [Montgomery\u2019s] judgement 110 [percent],\u201d said Echevarria. \u201cI don\u2019t even look past it, go investigate the who, what, when, and why; because I trust her judgement. I trust how she moves.\u201d <\/p>\n
Echevarria said the last time he heard from his wife was 9:30 p.m. – about 12 hours before police said her body was discovered. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe went about her Saturday normal, watched a couple of movies, talked on the phone,\u201d said Echevarria. \u201cKids gave her a hug. [I said] \u2018Babe, be safe. I love you.\u2019 That was it.\u201d <\/p>\n
Echevarria said Montgomery would make holiday gift bags for neighborhood children and was a great mother of four kids – the youngest being just 10 months old. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will get justice,\u201d said Echevarria. \u201cI promise that.\u201d <\/p>\n
The medical examiner\u2019s office told News 12 that they conducted an examination on Monday, but they have not yet released the official cause of death. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cIt\u2019s crazy,\u201d said Echevarria. \u201cI don\u2019t even think it\u2019s real.
