Peace for Lisette Torres
In 1985, I met Lisette Torres through a few friends. She was a beautiful girl and she laughed a lot.
Lisette attended OLPH high school where my friends also went. When she was 19 years old, she was found dead on the street on New Years Day. I hadn’t spoken to Lisette in over a year, but I figured an old boyfriend must have done it. No one was arrested for the crime. But the police found the killers DNA under Lisette’s nails.
When Lisette was murdered, the story never appeared on the television or the newspaper. I’m not sure why. I remember how sad her funeral was because there were so many teens there crying.
A year ago, I saw a poster with her picture on it hanging on a lamp post and thought it looked too new to be a sign from many years ago. I knew they must have been investigating again.
A nab was arrested and is being charged with her death now 25 years later. The man was seen with Lisette before she died. He was tried, but found not guilty – see here
25 years later, Lisette’s killer was found.
RIP Lisette.
Hugs,
