Less than six months after Ray Liotta's untimely death, the "Goodfellas" actor is featured in a new trailer for the film "Cocaine Bear."

The movie, directed by Elizabeth Banks, is based on a true story from the 1980s where a black bear was found dead after ingesting a large amount of cocaine. Liotta plays drug smuggler Dentwood, according to Entertainment Weekly.

This was one of Liotta's last roles prior to his death in the Dominican Republic in May.

He had been out of the country filming the movie "Dangerous Waters" when he passed away in his sleep. He was 67 years old.

Within the trailer, Liotta can be seen saying to Alden Ehrenreich's character, Marty, "A lot of cocaine was lost. I need you to go and get it."

The origin story stems from Georgia in 1985, when investigators were searching on the ground for airborne contraband. Gary Garner of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation stated of the findings, "The bear got to it before we could, and he tore the duffel bag open, got him some cocaine and OD’d."

The movie is described as "an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converge in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound black bear goes on a murderous rampage after unintentionally ingesting cocaine," per IMDb.

The film also stars Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr. and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, among many others. The release date for the movie is Feb. 24, 2023.

A cause of death for Liotta was never revealed. Prior to his passing, Liotta got engaged to his girlfriend, Jacy Nittolo, in December 2020.

On Thanksgiving, she shared a message to her Instagram that read in part, "I’ve been without Ray for almost 6 months now. Most days are unbearable. I find it hard to breathe without him. Today and everyday I am so thankful for the memories he gave me."

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A mother of five from West Virginia was allegedly beaten to death by her newlywed husband during an argument after Thanksgiving, according to local reports and police. 

Marrisa Dawson, formerly known as Marissa Mann-Bennett, "sustained major face trauma causing the victim to be deceased," according to the criminal complaint filed in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. 

It describes how Zachary Hess Dawson, a live-in boyfriend whom she reportedly married just a month prior, was apprehended for questioning and later "informed officers he killed his wife." 

The complaint says a friend by the name of Tyler Truman arrived at the home on Maple Avenue in Alderson, West Virginia, around 9 a.m. Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and dialed 911 upon finding Marrisa in the residence on the floor. The caller also noted how Marrisa’s vehicle was missing.

Alderson police responded. The crime scene team noted blood throughout the residence both on the second floor and basement. It appeared the victim had been dragged through the residence, striking her head on several items. 

The search also found bloodied clothes consistent with the size of the victim, appearing to show that the victim’s clothes had been changed, according to the complaint. The team found that the basement bathroom was cleaned after utilizing a blue star chemical reagent. 

It appeared a fight took place that continued through the residence over a period of time. 

Law enforcement located Marissa’s gold 2016 Infinity QX80 operated by Dawson on US 219 in Lewisburg. A state police corporal who assisted in the removal and search of Dawson observed blood on his clothing, necklace, hands, and on the side of the vehicle, according to the criminal complaint. The corporal also noted the phone in Dawson’s pocket had GPS routing him to hotels near the interstate. 

Dawson was transported to the West Virginia State Police Lewisburg detachment for questioning. 

"Upon a post-mirandized interview, Zachary Hess Dawson admitted being responsible for her death and takes responsibility for it," the complaint says. Police said Dawson admitted to striking Bennett the night before and into the early morning during an argument.

"Subject stated that after striking his wife he blacked out and when he came to he knew he had messed up. Subject admitted that he changed her clothes to have clean clothes on her," the complaint adds. 

Zach and Marrisa Dawson were married on Oct. 24, a month before the murder, WV Metro News reported. The outlet also said Marrisa was the mother of five children, including an infant son born in August. 

She was reportedly employed as a housekeeping attendant at the Greenbrier Resort, her Facebook says. Greenbrier County Prosecutor Patrick Via told MetroNews that the investigation is in its early stages and will include looking into the relationship between the victim and suspect.

"It’s my understanding that there was a very consequential amount of blood at the scene as well as articles of clothing that were gathered by the investigators," Via told the outlet. 

Regarding Zach Dawson’s alleged confession, the prosecutor added, "Statements taken sometimes are subject to different interpretations later, so it’s critical that we proceed just as if we didn’t have a statement at all, quite frankly." Alderson Police, Lewisburg Police, State Police and the Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Department are the four agencies involved in the murder investigation.
