Funeral Held For NJ Woman Who Went Missing After Overdosing

HACKENSACK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Funeral services were held Sunday for a northern New Jersey woman whose remains were found a year after she died of a drug overdose.

Family and friends told The Record that 18-year-old Mila Kostadinova was an intelligent, free-spirited woman whose main goal was to put a smile on their faces. Dozens of mourners turned out for the services Sunday.

The Dumont woman's remains were found June 17 off the Palisades Interstate Parkway in Alpine. Bergen County authorities have said her friend, 19-year-old Antony Freay, found her dead and tossed her body over a cliff.

Freay has been charged with desecrating or damaging human remains and hindering apprehension by concealing evidence and providing false information. He has pleaded not guilty.

Kostadinova was last seen alive at Antony Freay's home at 189 Jefferson Ave. in Cresskill on June 2, 2014.
