NEW JERSEY - A person of interest in the case of a missing New Jersey woman was found dead in his home Friday, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.
John Ozbilgen, 29, was recently released from jail after a child porn charge. The judge reportedly felt it was not enough to detain him further.
Ozbilgen, the ex-boyfriend of Stephanie Parze, committed suicide, his attorney, Robert Honecker Jr., confirmed to NJ.com.
Parze was last seen by her family after taking in a psychic's show together in New Brunswick on Oct. 30.
When she was reported missing the next day, police found her car in the driveway of her Freehold home and the keys inside.
Police and others had searched a park on Staten Island and, earlier this week, a park in Freehold, for any signs of Parze.
