The boyfriend of a missing New Mexico Army veteran is facing murder charges after her body was discovered in Nevada, authorities said. Cecelia Barber Finona, a 59-year-old US Army vet, was last seen at her Farmington home in May 2019. A body was then discovered in Clark County, Nevada, in February and DNA testing last week confirmed it was Finona, police said. Jay, 69, who had been considered the primary person of interest in Finona’s disappearance, has been charged with murder, kidnapping and tampering with evidence in her death. Finona’s daughter, Julietta Faria, told NBC’s "Dateline" in 2019 that her mother had just returned to New Mexico following a 31-year career in the Army.
