Woman finds missing husband's dead body after using iPhone app to track him down

A woman who used her iPhone to trace her missing husband was shocked when it led her to his dead body.

Carla Melendez grew concerned when former gang member Ramiro Acosta, 23, failed to return to their home.

The following day she used her Find My iPhone app, which had been synced to Acosta's phone, which showed her husband was just half an hour away from their home.

Carla drove to the spot on the map where the app said her husband was and found him dumped by the side of the road in North Harris County, Texas. He had been shot once in the torso.

Speaking of her gruesome discovery, she said: "He didn't deserve to be thrown like this, like a dog in the street.

"I just wanted him to wake up, god knows how long he was laying there."
