According to the Inquirer, Gallina and Phillip, who lives in Italy, spoke on the phone constantly. Meanwhile, Gallina’s son, Phillip, was growing concerned. Gallina was described on a GoFundMe page as a “funny, kind-hearted and good person all around.”Īs the days passed, Tolomello asked a friend whether or not burning incense would disguise the stench of a skunk that had slipped into her garage, the complaint alleges. Tolomello and Gallina were known in the local community as the co-owners of Pina’s Pizzeria, a small Italian pizza, salad, and calzones shop in Chalfont.

After a quick search of the home amid an oppressive stench, police say they found the body of her slain boyfriend, Giovanni Gallina. When Tolomello saw the Hilltown Township detectives, she allegedly admitted she should have called them a week ago. She claimed she would be doing that part of the job herself, the excavators later told police, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.īut on Tuesday, just after Tolomello paid the diggers $350 and the dirt was still fresh, cops arrived armed with a search warrant. Tolomello, 48, didn’t need help refilling the hole either, she allegedly told the hired excavators. Anna Maria Tolomello, who owns a local pizza shop in Pennsylvania with her long-time partner, had a very specific need, police say: a 7-feet long, 3-feet wide, 3-feet deep hole dug at her home-for a dog, she claimed.
