A wedding photo taken on the day that the Cammaratas got married. The couple are now estranged and reportedly were in the process of getting divorced. Could murder be in the mix, as well?
Listed as standing 4′ 11″ tall, Jeanine is a teacher in the New York City public school system. She seen above at her wedding was last seen on March 29 on her way to pick up her kids from her husband
Gansberg, the missing woman’s divorce attorney said Wednesday that he was not optimistic. ‘I’ve been doing this for over 35 years, nothing would surprise me,’ the attorney told WABC.
‘This does not sound like it’s going to end well.’
Those who know Jeanine say she was terrified of her husband. They say she described his behavior toward her as abusive.
Jeanine Cammarata’s friends on Wednesday painted a chilling picture of her life: her marriage, rife with physical abuse, was disintegrating over allegations of infidelity and she feared for her life during her marriage to Michael Cammarata.
Jeanine told her current boyfriend on Saturday night that she was going over to see her husband and their children, but never made it home, cops said.
Her landlord, Jose Perez, claimed that Jeanine was ‘concerned about her safety’ because Michael would harass her and follow her in his car.
‘She even escalated it because she was concerned about her safety.
‘And I mentioned it to her, I said to her: “You better get this thing straightened out, because you don’t want any problems”,’ Perez told WABC.
‘She always texted me where she’s at or if something’s happening to her. But she has not.’
Perez said he last saw Jeanine two weeks ago, and that she was determined to win custody of her children.
‘He wasn’t giving her her kids, she wasn’t able to see her kids,’ the landlord said.
‘That’s when she said okay, I had enough. I’m gonna go get a lawyer, I’m gonna get divorced, and I’m gonna get custody of my kids. And now she’s gone.’

Police searching for the mother-of-three and NYC elementary school teacher after she went missing four days ago said they have recovered a body suspected to be that of missing teacher Jeanine Cammarata, [photo], was found at a Staten Island storage facility early Thursday
Jeanine’s boyfriend and a co-worker at Dollar Tree, Elizabeth Torres, were questioned by police on Tuesday evening.
‘She let me know Friday she was going to pick up her children Saturday,’ Torres told ABC13.
‘And that’s the last anybody actually saw her,’ Jeanine’s best friend Jessica Pobega added.
Pobega said she received strange and mysterious text messages from Jeanine on the day she disappeared.
When Pobega told Jeanine she was going to call the police out of concern, the mother allegedly replied: ‘I don’t want that. I have the kids…I apologize. I have to do this for the children.’
Pobega appeared to be suspicious that it was actually Jeanine who sent her the messages because she never ended up seeing her children over the weekend.
‘I don’t know who that was and what they were covering for,’ she said, adding: ‘She’s my oldest friend. My mother is distraught. Something happened. Something bad happened. And I don’t know what it is and I really hope I’m wrong.’

She noted that her sudden disappearance is suspicious, saying that Jeanine would always called into work if she couldn’t make it.
‘She’s never once NOT called into school. She’d never risk her job at the [Department of Education] in NYC. She’s never NOT check in with me or her sister Christine. She didn’t call her mother for her birthday, which was yesterday. There are a lot of people very worried,’ Pobega wrote.
Police revealed that her roommate received a text message from Jeanine on Monday saying she’s ‘okay’, but her roommate doesn’t believe Jeanine sent that text.
