12/02/08 Murder victim worked as a nanny during the week in Greenwich for a Lake Avenue family


Greenwich Nanny Andrea Bueno May She Rest In Peace


Love story ends in a brutal murder


Relatives feel the violent relationship could have been stopped


The fatal love story of Kearny resident Diego Leonardo Campoverde-Cabrera and the woman he allegedly strangled to death with an electrical cord on Saturday, Nov. 15, Connecticut resident Andrea Catalina Reinoso-Bueno, appears to have been on a passionate but deadly race course.

After coming to America two years ago to make some money for her child Martin Alejandro, the 22-year-old met with a ghastly end. The deceased allegedly was divorced and has a three-year-old son living in Cuenca with her father.
An individual, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that the victim worked as a nanny during the week in Greenwich, Connecticut for a Lake Avenue family and once the pair became romantically involved she would stay with him in his Kearny apartment on the weekends.

The source was the contact for Reinoso-Bueno’s family in Ecuador.“She (Reinoso-Bueno) would arrive at noon on Saturdays in Kearny with a car that the people she was working for would give her and then she would leave on Sunday night,” the source said.Diana Bernal, a relative living in Cuenca, Ecuador introduced the two. She is the daughter of the source’s uncle’s wife. She is Campoverde-Cabrera’s cousin by her father’s side of the family and Reinoso-Bueno’s cousin by the mother’s side. Bernal, 26, allegedly had a good relationship with both lovers.

“From what I know, Diana, the lady that called me from Ecuador introduced them about seven months ago. They didn’t know each other before that. Diana used to come to Kearny once in a while and come to our house,” the source said. “She used to tell us that she had a cousin living in Connecticut but we didn’t know her or anything.”
As far as Campoverde-Cabrera’s behavior, the source said that one of the family members indicated that he used to hit and abuse Reinoso-Bueno “a lot.”“Diana knew about this but never said anything about it to anyone and it looks like she was trying to leave him already but she couldn’t because she had nowhere to go on the weekend from what the family member told me,” the source said.

“The family kept calling me the whole night (of Nov.15) because they didn’t know if she was actually dead. So Diana called me to find out if it was true.”Apparently a family member in Kearny called Bernal and told her what Campoverde-Cabrera did. The source had to call the Kearny detectives to find out what happened and at that point they did not know who the murdered girl was, the source said.

“I told them her name and everything. It looks like he (Campoverde-Cabrera) called a cousin (in a local town) and said ‘I killed her’ and then his cousin said you got to call the police or I will do it. I don’t know if he did or his cousin,” the source said. “It looks like Diana knew everything before the police. I don’t know though, I can’t assure you of that. They knew it from the early afternoon. They called me about 11 at night.”

Another piece of information offered was that Campoverde-Cabrera allegedly said that he wanted to kill himself because he killed his lover.Reinoso-Bueno’s father flew from Ecuador to Chicago to Kearny as soon as he knew his daughter was dead, the source said. The funeral was Wed., Nov. 19, at 3 p.m. in Jackson Heights where most of the family members and friends from Cuenca live. The body was shipped back to Ecuador on Friday, Nov. 21.

“It’s crazy. The father (of Reinoso-Bueno) is just devastated. He’s a diabetic and he’s just crying and crying. Oh, my God, she’s just 22,” the source said. “Somebody could have stopped it but nobody did anything.

”The source said that Bernal knew that Campoverde-Cabrera was violent toward Reinoso-Bueno but the family did not. Also one of the family members said that he still had a wife in Ecuador and allegedly tried to kill her but was unsuccessful.“So he already had a history of violence.

But it looks like at the beginning of the relationship this girl said he was going to change, he’s good, he just gets upset really quick but she thought she would change him,” they said. “My side of the family doesn’t understand why Diana introduced them.”
