Gisselle Victoria-Gonzalez charged with murdering Orlando, Florida roommate, Runyleidy Medina-Pacheco after reporting her missing two days after Christmas Day, 2022. Body yet to be recovered.
A Florida woman is charged with murdering her roommate, who she reported as going missing in Orlando on Christmas Day in 2022, according to police.
Gisselle Victoria-Gonzalez, 42, was arrested in Connecticut Thursday and charged with second degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and grand theft in connection to the disappearance of Runyleidy Medina-Pacheco, also 42.
Since the nearly two years since the roommate was last seen, Medina-Pacheco’s body still has not been found, according to the Orlando Police Department.
‘Numerous inconsistencies…’
Victoria-Gonzalez had contacted police on Dec. 27, 2022 and reported that she had not seen her roommate for two days, police said.
She told officers she had last seen her on Christmas at their apartment around 10 p.m. that evening, according to OPD.
However as law enforcement probed the case, detectives found ‘numerous inconsistencies’ in the version of events as described by Victoria-Gonzalez.
A search warrant was executed at the residence where the two lived and ‘significant evidence was recovered, indicating a violent incident had occurred,’ police said.
Florida law enforcement discovered Victoria-Gonzalez was now living in Hartford, Conn, and travelled to her Connecticut residence and, after an interview, determined they had probable cause to charge her with Medina-Pacheco’s death and take her into custody.
No known murder motive was immediately known.
No additional details about Medina-Pacheco’s disappearance were provided by authorities.
OPD urges anyone with information regarding this case to contact the Orlando Police Department Homicide Unit or call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
