DORAL, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police are revealing new details in the case of a South Florida woman who went missing and was found murdered a month later.
Marisol Ramon vanished last summer, and her body was found about a month later out in the Everglades. "She wasn't just a mom to me, she was like a best friend," said the victim's son, Stiven Nuñez through tears.
Six months after her disappearance, police have named the man Ramon's family had suspected all along of killing the 40-year-old mother: 60-year-old Roque Torres. "They only thing that we wanted was being able to find him," said Stefany Nuñez, the victim's daughter.
At a press conference Tuesday, Miami-Dade Police Lt. Rosanna Cordero-Stutz detailed the clues that led them to Torres as a suspect. "The blood found inside the vehicle of Mr. Torres was also that of Ms. Ramon," she said.
Soon after her disappearance, surveillance video footage showed Ramon and Torres at the Royal Oaks Shopping Plaza in Miami Lakes, their last known whereabouts. Both had not been seen since surveillance cameras recorded Torres' gray 2007 sport utility vehicle, on May 26, at around 10 p.m. at the mall.
Ramon's family said she broke her relationship with Torres two months before her disappearance, after she had discovered he was married.
Her family said she had a turbulent relationship with Torres. Ramon's son said she once came home with a black eye, and Torres had been stalking her. "He had been really obsessive of her," Nunez said. "He would follow her everywhere, call her all the time. He would just try to be everywhere where she was at."
Miami-Dade Police Detective Thomas Romangni said they suspect Torres fled to Costa Rica or Nicaragua. "We have had information that he was within the United State and then left the United States again," he said.
Torres' picture is now on America's Most Wanted's website. If you have any information that can help authorities track down this suspect, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
