Colker's husband, Brian Melito, 62, who is also a physician, survived the attack and was the one to raise the alarm.
However his wife of one year was found dead in a mangrove.
Immediately after the murder was first confirmed, police in the tropical paradise claimed they had a suspect and that he is an ex convict, recently released from prison.[. . .]
According to online records, Colker is a registered pediatric anesthetist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
She and her husband are both seasoned travelers and first met at a dance workshop in Costa Rica according to their wedding website profile.
They say they had a smoothie together on the second day of the class and then spent the rest of the week 'dancing, talking, surfing, eating great food, swimming in the ocean under the stars and generally falling in love.'
They became engaged in August of 2014 and wed in November of 2014 in Atlanta.
