Cold Case Spotlight

On Thursday, June 11, 1981 a foul odor coming from an apartment on SW 88th Street in Miami, Florida led to the discovery of the decomposing body of 29-year-old Amparo Torres Arias. She had been shot and killed by an unknown suspect(s) in her home. According to the Miami-Dade Police Department, Amparo was known to keep to herself with the exception of several unidentified men that visited her apartment from time to time. Investigators stated that Amparo’s apartment was “well kept and fashionable” and indications are that there was no sign of forced entry or ransacking of the home before, during or after the attack. Police have not indicated any motive in the case but there is a chance the murder is connected to Amparo’s husband’s involvement in criminal activity at the time. Reports indicate that two coffee cups were found at the scene but it is unknown if they have been tested or retested for DNA. Amparo had a 3-year-old son, Alex, who had gone to stay with family in Canada just before her murder. Alex has no memories of his mother but his love for her and his desire to find justice is evident as he shares his story with those willing to listen. If you have any information on the unsolved murder of Amparo Torres Arias, please contact the Miami-Dade Police Department at (305) 471-2350 or email at hominfo@mdpd.com.

Incident Location Gulf of Mexico (8 miles SE of Clearwater)
Clearwater, Florida, 33767
Pinellas County
L.E.A Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Largo, Florida

Victim was found shot to death and floating in the Gulf of Mexico on October 29, 1988. The victim had a chain and weights wrapped around his neck. A fisherman, who first observed the badly decomposed body, towed him in to shore. It is estimated the body was in the water between 2 and 7 days. The victim is a white male with estimated age between 35 and 45 years old. He is 6'3" , 200 lbs. He has black hair that is starting to gray. Due to decomposition his eye color cannot be determined. There were no scars, marks, tattos noted on body. The victim was wearing a pair of black swim trunks with green stripes. He had a white tee shirt tangled in the chain. The logo on the tee shirt reads "Ocean View Club, For Kids Only" A forensic artist made a clay model of the victim's face and head. This model despicts what the victim may have looked like.

Incident Location Merrimack River
Hillsborough County
L.E.A New Hampshire Department of Justice Cold Case Unit, Concord, New Hampshire

David Braley, a 21-year-old Belmont, NH resident, was last seen alive at the Take 5 Music Hall Night Club in Concord, NH on November 10, 1989. His body was pulled from the Merrimack River in Manchester, NH, on March 18, 1990. Police believe that David was involved in an altercation behind the nightclub that November evening and was badly beaten. Police believe that David's body was later dumped into the river. Although this case was not ruled a homicide by the state medical examiner, the circumstances surrounding David's death are suspicious and would suggest foul play was involved.
