A Florida woman has been accused of murdering her roommate who went missing on Christmas Day almost two years ago.

Her body has still not been found.

According to the Orlando Police Department, Medina-Pachecho was reported missing on December 27, 2022.

At the time Victoria-Gonzalez, who had been the one to contact OPD, stated she had not seen her roommate since Christmas Day.

However, as the investigation continued, detectives discovered numerous inconsistencies in the version of events as described by Victoria-Gonzalez. A search warrant was executed at their residence, where significant evidence was recovered, indicating a violent incident had occurred.

Following a comprehensive investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal levels, detectives determined that Victoria-Gonzalez was residing in Hartford, Connecticut.

After traveling to Hartford and conducting an additional interview with her, investigators developed probable cause to charge Victoria-Gonzalez.

Footage of the arrest showed Victoria-Gonzalez wearing a red dress, being led down a corridor by officers. No further details as to the circumstances of Medina-Pachecho’s disappearance were given.

In a press release OPD said: “We would like to acknowledge the assistance of the Hartford Police Department for their support in this investigation.”

The force urges anyone with information regarding the case to contact the Orlando Police Department Homicide Unit or call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
