The Case of Rosimar Rodr铆guez G贸mez: A Heartbreaking Crime That Shook Puerto Rico

The Tragic Abduction of Rosimar Rodr铆guez G贸mez: A True Crime Story from Puerto Rico On the humid night of September 17, 2020, 20-year-old Rosimar Rodr铆guez G贸mez stepped outside her cousin’s home in Toa Baja. Within moments, she was gone.  Witnesses describe a gut-wrenching scene: a stranger ambushed her, forced her into a car, and vanished into the dark. Puerto Rico awoke to the sound of another woman missing. Ten Days of Dread: The Search for Rosimar Rosimar’s family launched a desperate search. Flyers, posts, prayers, and pleas. Local authorities joined in. So did neighbors, volunteers, and strangers who saw their own daughters in Rosimar’s eyes. But dread set in. Because in Puerto Rico, missing women too often end in headlines, not homecomings. On September 27, a decomposed body was discovered in a remote field in Dorado.  DNA confirmed what many feared: Rosimar had been murdered. Her remains showed signs of brutal violence.

Puerto Rico’s Darkest Legends: La Llorona, El Chupacabra & More

Welcome to my Library of Shadows Step softly. Puerto Rico doesn’t just have beaches kissed by sunlight—it has rivers that echo with cries, fields where creatures prowl unseen, and mountains heavy with whispers. These legends don’t sit neatly in storybooks; they haunt the island’s collective memory, shaping how we see the night, the forest, and even each other. In this corner of my library, let’s explore three of the island’s most enduring mysteries: La Llorona , El Chupacabra , and the eerie spirits said to linger in El Yunque’s mist. La Llorona: The Cry by the River The tale of La Llorona drifts from Mexico across Latin America and into Puerto Rico, but here the legend has a distinctly local chill. They say she walks by rivers and streams, her wail sharp enough to cut through the chorus of coqu铆s. Some whisper she drowned her children and wanders forever in regret; others say she appears as a warning before storms or tragedies. Ask an abuela, and you’ll hear it as both caut...
