Police, prosecutors keep mum on Farmington deaths probe
Staff reports 8:12 a.m.
FARMINGTON - Police and state prosecutors remain tightlipped about the suspicious deaths of two women whose bodies were found early Sunday in Farmington.
Autopsies will be performed today, according to officials.
Police stopped short of calling the deaths homicides, instead referring to them as "suspicious." The owner of the house is listed as Dean V. Smoronk on the town of Farmington website. Internet searches reveal a Dean V. Smoronk of 979 Meaderboro Road, was charged in 2012 with firing a shot through a window of a home on Old Dover Road in Rochester. And in 2014, a Dean Victor Smoronk, 52, and Christina Marie Cuozzo, 45, of 979 Meaderboro Road, Farmington, were stopped in South Carolina on I-95 after their car pulled into the lane of a Sumter County deputy and almost sideswiped the cruiser. During the stop, a K-9 unit was called and suspected methamphetamine was found in Cuozzo's purse and a large quantity of suspected methamphetamine was found inside a fake energy drink along with a small amount of marijuana, pills and an unknown white powder inside a black computer bag, according to the report. Much of the area around the house was blocked off on Monday as police forensic teams combed the 10-acre property.
