MILWAUKEE, Wis.


Police are seeking the public's help in searching for a Wauwatosa man wanted in the strangulation death of his former girlfriend.

Thirty-two-year-old Benjamin M. Germano was charged Monday with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of 24-year-old Sarah Rosio of Milwaukee. She had a child with him.

Her body was found Thursday in a storage unit in West Allis.

The Journal Sentinel reports that a court document filed Monday alleges Germano told friends he killed Rosio and then drove around with her body in his car for four days.

Court records show Germano has a history of alleged domestic violence, at least some of which involved Rosio.

Germano is a white male. Police say he may be driving a black, four-door 2001 Toyota Corolla with Wisconsin license plates 144 KJV.
