Venezuelan soap star Monica Spear, ex-husband murdered
A Venezuelan actress and her ex-husband were shot to death and their 5-year-old daughter was wounded when armed robbers ambushed their broken-down car during an idyllic vacation, police said Tuesday.
Monica Spear's family said they had tried and failed to convince the former beauty queen, who starred in several telenovelas, to leave crime-ridden Venezuela and join them in the United States after she was robbed six times.
"She loved her country too much," said her brother, Ricardo Spear Mootz, who lives in Florida. "It was her home."
Spear, 29, was on a road trip with ex-husband Henry Thomas Berry, 39, and daughter Maya, when they got into a small accident on the Valencia-Puerto Cabello highway.
