FORT MONTGOMERY — Police say the New Jersey man wanted for questioning in the murder of his ex-wife has been found dead in an upstate New York motel and his two young daughters are safe.

New York State Police say they found Anthony Trapp dead on a bed in his room at the Bear Mountain Bridge Motel in Fort Montgomery about an hour after the girls came out of the room on their own around 7:30 a.m. Friday.

Police aren’t saying how Trapp died.

Trapp’s ex-wife, Heather, was found dead in his Old Bridge Township home Thursday.

An Amber Alert issued for the couple’s children, 20-month-old Sophia and 5-year-old Emma, was canceled when the girls were found safe.
