I wonder if the fact that he’s selling everything he owns before this has anything to do with it.
Andy Nemec his girlfriend killed him, his wife found him…

Ocean County Scanner News wait and see. They’ll give you your “press release “
I think she’s referring to his open facebook page that has many recent for sale items.
Andy Nemec there is truth to that.

Yeahhh, no need for anyone to be concerned over someone ending up killed and no killer? ???????? unless i read wrong. Maybe i did.
Stacey Nichole you didn’t read it wrong. Usually that means they are pretty sure they know what happened and are probably questioning the suspect, just no arrest yet- still building a solid case. It’s usually a domestic/isolated incident. No serial killer on the loose.You will see an arrest very soon.
Ahh makes more sense.
