Tough Holiday Season for Parents of Boynton Man Found Buried in Freezer

Before we run Alfaro up the flag pole, can we have him swing back by Boynton Beach and stop over at Dippolito residence?

I did a search on this topic and noticed most people will agree with your article. I have bookmarked this web site so I can visit next week and read more posts.

Jose Alfaro, AKA Phillip Durante, AKA Julian Kayne, you got what you deserved. From Costa Rica to NY, you ran but couldn't hide.
To the victim's family, may your son rest in peace. The same friends that you screwed are the same ones who turned you in, Jose.

Your Buddy..

Hey Your Buddy!

I guess karma's not doin' you any good either. How's your bike?

By the way buddy...being a snitch is one thing, but being a snitch on someone who didn't do the crime simply cause he screwed you over...is called purgery. Don't worry though, to all you trying to get revenge on someone by falsly testifying against them, he'll be out soon enough. Good luck!

STACY GO FUCK YOURSELF!! lol get a job or something you have too much time on your hands!

Thank you for the awesome info! Not sure what everyone else has planned, I can't wait to party my ass off for New Years 2010!

Stacy, Your Buddy, if you have more info you'd like to share on this case I'd love to hear it. email gail.shepherd@browardpalmbeach.com.

Sorry Gail,

I'm not interested in fueling this sad, mis-guided, mis-informed media fountain. I'm sad though, to see in our society that ANYTHING can be printed in a newspaper, shown on a news broadcast, or posted on the internet.

It's funny how the majority of society truly believes that cops never lie for their own gain. Even when you're selected for jury duty involving the testimony of a law enforcement officer, the judge always asks the potential jurors, "Do you think that a police officer's word is always true over that of a private citizen's word?" Even the judges know that most cops are deceitful. It's unfortunate that truth is no longer the objective of the media, just looking for the best way to spin any story so that it gets the maximum amount of hype and ratings possible.

It's all pretty sad when criminals associating with criminals, turns into this kind of one sided story where the victim is always portrayed as a saint. The media should be focusing more on fact than speculation. No articles state that the victim had a warrant for his arrest at the time of his disappearance.

I'm just really suprised and disappointed at the way our society functions. The kind of sadness that almost makes me ashamed of being American. We run around the world telling other cultures how to structure their societies, but when it comes right down to it, we're so focused on the wrong things, that we'll probably never even straighten out our own issues. Unfortunately that fact may be the ultimate downfall of the empire that we so proudly call a democracy.

So in response to your request, I'm sorry but talking to the media never solves anything. Your Buddy may want to comment if the cops allow him to...as he is a confidential informant(CI) that is working for them. Maybe he'll give you a quote from his false testimony. I'm sure it would be printed without verification, as is par for the media.

@Stacy, your comments are appreciated but I hardly think the victim was portrayed as a "saint" here. As noted in the post, he had a prior record (take a look at the photo; it's a mug shot and is labeled as such). I am curious though -- where do you think reporters are supposed to get their information if not by talking directly to human sources? "Facts" do not grow on trees, ripe for the plucking. Talking to the media actually DOES help resolve just the issues you're worried about: in this way information gets verified -- or not.

"Stacy Beringer", sounds like you would be interested in paying his lawyer and private investigator fees. Anyway, Jose Alfaro killed his buddy Stephen Febonio because of a dispute over $10,000 from a marijuana grow house in Delray Beach. Bottom line is...its wrong. It doesnt matter what Stephen's character is or was. Two wrongs dont make a right.

Jose Alfaro made incriminating statements to multiple people, therefore, you can not point to anyone in particular. Even so, it was the right thing to do. Jose ran to Costa Rica, almost made it off the plane, and was flown back to the U.S. He then ran to NY, made a few mistakes, and made it easy to apprehend him.

The body was not located from 2007 to 2009. It was found because Jose bragged about it to MULTIPLE persons. It was in his backyard, buried in the ground, in a freezer. He moved it around and stored it in his friends house, which by the way was at one point burglarized and the fridge was opened.

So, the defense is that the note that the victim left in his room is fake, someone else killed Stephen AND buried him in Jose's backyard?? AMAZING. Oh and someone also planted Jose's fingerprints on the freezer, right??

And by the way, "Stacy", you say...... "he'll be out soon enough. Good luck!"
Be careful, that almost sounded like you are leaving a threat, "Stacy". We wouldnt want you charged with tampering or threatening...

Any information contained herein is no secret, and is known to law enforcement already. By the way, MANHUNTERS will feature his capture on January 14th.

And...this will be my final response and comment.

thinkgoat Says:

So Stacy, are we to believe Steven was some mass murderer running around posing as a dry wall expert and was doomed to eternity stuffed into a 4×4 freezer posing as an overgrown popsicle? That Jose did society a favor by killing this dude, turning him from a cryogenic experiment to a puddle of goo buried in some yard because he was just trying to do the right thing? Haha! Yeah.

It’s just a good damn thing Jose has that baby face and those big ears on him. Those two things will make him mighty attractive in prison. The face will draw them in and those ears will give his celly something to hold onto while he’s getting karma right up the ass.

I lived with steve and jose for 11 months on n.e. 42nd street in boca, from june 05 to may 06, i can tell you that jose wasn'st a good kid! just before i moved in jose was busted for several guns! He was drug dealer and ripped off any and everyone he ever delt with, Steve moved in to protect jose! The police records are self evident on jose alfaro! If this is the ken they nicknamed shula that married a callgirl that came to that very house in boca and did all the guys there including you ken and you fell in love with the girl 'adrine' maybe?? and took her to arizona to have your kid!! You should be interviewd because you do not know what the hell you are talking about!! jose killed steve his long time friend, who he worked with at several bodyshops in south florida, lived with and befriended, ate holiday dinners with at steve's parents house through out the YEARS they were friends!HE KILLED STEVE IN COLD BLOOD WHEN STEVE"S BACK WAS TURNED! AND THEN HE BRAGGED ABOUT IT AS STEVE"S BODY WAS SITTING IN THE NEXT ROOM CRUSHED IN THE FREZER HE WAS BURRIED IN!!get your facts straight. LOOSER! YOUR NOT CREDIBLE FOR AN INTERVIEW! Steve never worked at pf changs daaaahhh he was a bodyman which is how he and jose met!! make sense!! thought so! Keep your factless comments to yourself you little gossip queen! BY the way didnt courtney and jose get arrested in texas comming from your house in arizona with 100 pounds of weed? your a looser drug dealer too! i know the facts kid!! no matter what steve said or did he did not deserve to die at the hands of someone he loved, trusted and protected! jose alfaro is a murderer and he will pay for steve"s life. by the way jose always looked good in blue scrubs and cuffs! haaaahaaaahhaaa!! ....

I grew up with Jose and always saw him as a good kid with a little bit of a wild side. We were roommates for a few years, both in Boca and Poughkeepsie, the funnist and most memorable years of my life. There was never a dull moment when hanging with Jose...aahh the memories. The Jose I know didn't have the ability to murder in him so I have my doubts as to him being guilty, but I guess people can and do change. It's sad to see things end this way for him, and my prayers go out to his family...especially his mother whom he has put through hell with all this nonsense. I also feel for Steve's parents,and hope that they are able to find comfort by remembering their son and his accomplishments...although I have never met him.

Any commenters here can email me anonymously or call me to talk about this case -- I will protect your identity and you can speak off the record. I'm interested in the back story of both Alfaro and Febonio, anybody who knew them at any time in their lives and would like to share memories even if those stories aren't related to the criminal case. Thanks, GS

Your Buddy....I'm sure that you must have your facts straight about the motive of a $10,000 debt. You must have been there right? Which if that was all true, you must be in the business of cultivating pot! You also seem to be certain that he did, in fact, kill Stephen which implies that you were witness to the alleged incident. So if you saw it with your own two eyes that would make you an accessory?

Money as a motive is pretty farfetched since he was a very generous person. Helping people make their house payments, letting people live with him because they had nowhere else to go, yeah that really sounds like a horrible person!

You want to talk about threats and tampering? OK, where did you get info about fingerprints? You must have gotten it directly from the officers that you are working with? Leaking case info would be considered interference in an official police investigation. Maybe you should be the one watching what you say. Especially since evidence of that nature is not listed in the indictment.

By saying "good luck" is not a threat or tampering. But it's easier to slander someone when they aren't face to face. I bet you wouldn't have the balls to say it to his face! You know that he is not a violent person and isn't bothered by rumors so there will be no threat to you when he gets out. But having to put on your second face and act like you're happy that he was cleared will be quite awkward for you.

All these rumors that have spawned the grand jury indictment are the result of "friends" trying to look cool by telling other people not to mess with them because of their "friendship" with "Jose the murderer"! All those alleged bragging sessions came from a third party's mouth, not Jose's. Drug addicts that are also addicted to drama and gossip don't make for very reliable hearsay witnesses.

I did happen to catch the episode of "Manhunters" and they too have quite a bit of incorrect information. His tattoo is not CSA, and is not gang related. This is why I'm amazed at the amount of bad info that can be used to accuse someone of murder. It's all quite sad really.

And as for "Anonymous" maybe you're the gossip queen that should get your facts straight! If you check Jose's arrest record you will see that he doesn't have any firearms charges. Way to add to the pool of bad info! You seem to be certain that he did it too, were you there? Didn't think so!

If they have such a good case...why didn't they arrest him when he flew back from Costa Rica? They let him leave the airport! Murder suspects aren't just allowed to walk away after being detained for 2 hours at the airport. This case is going to fall apart when it gets to trial. Waste of tax payer's money if you ask me.

Hey Stacy, get over him and dont forget to take ur medicine for the HPV Jose gave u.
U must have alot of time talking about how u read the indictment. And it dont take a fuking genious to figure that that a bitch would leave his finger prints somewhere. U must know that tatoo belong to his old bitch....that her initials on the back of his neck. Cant wait for ur ass to get charged with that obstruction of justice charge too. Get over him and get u a 3 inch dildo, and ull be fine, BIATCH.

CSD = COURTNEY SAMANTHA DEUTCH
Tatoo on the back of his neck.

Stacy...did he ever get ur name tatooed on his ass?? I dont think so. HAHA

But in prison, where he will spend the rest of his life...he will get the name "BUBBA" tatooed on his forehead. Thatll be his lover.

In the mean time, Stacy, get ur self a dildo, BIATCH.

My guess is Febonio was killed either because he was an informant or he had given evidence against somebody.

The point of the story is that most of what I've seen printed as news on this site is incorrect information obtained from law enforcement officers that couldn't tell their asshole from the asshole mugging the old lady standing next to them! Yet they seem to be able to take any info off the street from a confidential informant, use it to investigate or accuse someone without evidence, and all this results in multiple people's lives not only being splattered all over the news but having their reputations ruined even before they are proven guilty!

If the media wants to use the "People have a right to know!" scape goat to get ratings, they should atleast have to wait to post any info until it's been proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law and the defendant has been found guilty.

But I guess old news doesn't have the same effect as fairy tale news! I'm quite sure that people who are found innocent would not get near as much media coverage as those who are found guilty. That speaks volumes about society's character as a whole. It's ok to ruin someone's life without proof; it's just not profitable to clear their name once you've ruined it.
