P olice in the Dominican Republican said they recovered two b odies from a car c rash who resemble a m issing New York couple who v anished on vacation there, a report said Tuesday.

Dominican p olice believe the couple may have gotten into a car a ccident on their way to the airport from their all-inclusive resort in the northeast section of the country, according to the Dominican newspaper Diario Libre.


Orlando Moore, 43, and Portia Ravenelle, 32, both of Mount Vernon, were supposed to fly back to the US on March 27 but never returned.

On Tuesday, p olice officials said fishermen reported finding a car in the w ater near where the couple would have been driving, according to the Diario Libre report.

P olice recovered a d ecomposing body that may be Moore’s, according to the report.

A woman with t rauma to her body was also transported to a h ospital from the area and d ied four days later, according to the report.

Police are working to determine if the fingerprints from the two bodies match the couple’s.
