FL FL - Vilet Torrez, 38, Miramar, 31 March 2012 *C. Torrez guilty*

Torrez case reminiscent of overturned missing-wife murder case

It's hard to prove a murder without a body.

That point was driven home to Broward prosecutors when a state appellate court threw out a Pembroke Pines man's second-degree murder conviction in 2010, saying there wasn't enough evidence to prove Naraine "Cyril" Ramsammy was responsible for the death of his missing wife, Annette Rabino.

Two and a half years into his life sentence, Ramsammy, then 58, was released from a state prison in the Panhandle.

The Broward State Attorney's Office now has a strikingly similar case on its hands.

Documents Reveal Growing Case Against Accused Killer Cid Torrez

Investigative documents and compact discs containing crime scene photos and videos reveal the basis of the Broward State Attorney’s Office case against Cid Torrez. He is charged with murdering his wife, Vilet. Her body has never been found.

One friend, Carlos Prada, told detectives that Torrez inquired about where to get an illegal gun, where to dispose of a body and discussed scenarios that could be used to cover up a crime.

However, Torrez did call 911 and made a startling comment.

“And, Friday, as a matter of fact, Saturday morning or Friday night, she didn’t come to sleep, and then I don’t know about Saturday, and now Sunday, I definitely did it, so,” Torrez tells the 911 operator.

The photos also reveal the inside the car where detectives say police dogs alerted to the smell of human remains.

Surveillance video showed Vilet returning to her gated community early Saturday March 31. Cid Torrez told police she never made it to her house. But the arrest report says the couple’s oldest daughter believed her mother was home because she awakened by a strange noise in the bedroom next door overnight.

The girl told police she heard “howling” and “crying” coming from the room and “she then heard her father in the other room sniffling and saying, ‘No you wake up’ a couple of times.”

In a new, lengthy police report just released in July we discover that in the months before Vilet disappeared in March 2012, Cid had the ability to locate Vilet’s phone anywhere she was. Investigators say he used the service often.

The report says “…he received approximately 175 notifications. However, all 175 inquiries made by Cid were made prior to Vilet’s disappearance. This service was not utilized once Cid reported that his wife was missing.”

Miramar mom's body never found but murder trial is moving ahead

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/miramar/fl-sb-no-body-murder-trial-jury-selection-20170622-story.html

No one has seen Vilet Torrez since March 31, 2012, when she vanished from her home in Miramar.

Prosecutors believe the mother of three is dead, slain by her husband, Cid Torrez, 43. And they’re willing to put him on trial for murder, even though they lack one of the most vital sources of evidence in any homicide case — the body.

Jury selection has begun in the case, which will resume July 5.
