Police were looking for the boyfriend of a Queens woman who was found stabbed to death in her Corona apartment on Tuesday—but he fled to his native Colombia. Now the sister of victim Diana Bolivar says she went to the police precinct on Sunday and Monday about her sister's disappearance, but police ignored her requests. A lawyer for Paolo Bolivar told the Daily News that "both times she visited the police station, cops failed to pursue her claim - even telling her once to have her husband 'beat up' [John] Perez."
