Thank you, Detective Mancha from Miami Dade Police Department, for providing us with this picture of Lilly’s back tattoo. This is the only known picture of it and we are extremely thankful to Det. Mancha for providing it to us.

Anyone with information should immediately contact MDPD at 305-418-7245.

I’ve used many social networking sites to assist me in my mission of finding Lilly and raising awareness for missing persons. If you have a loved one that’s missing, you are invited to join my group on Flickr. The group is focused on missing persons in the United States. Every member is encouraged to upload pictures of missing loved ones (as long as they disappeared within the US). This is a good idea in several aspects. Many people use Flickr. And it’s an effective way of raising awareness for the missing.
Join my room in Friendfeed. Members post links to pictures, articles, anything that has to do with missing persons. If you’re a social media lover, be sure to join us on various sites across the web. Care2.com. And a community on Mixx.com.
Add Lilly as a friend on myspace and join the group on Facebook and join the cause on Facebook. These are a just few of the ones I use. I’ll write an entire post about this in more detail in the near future.

Lilly Aramburo missing mother

MDPD was kind enough to provide us with this picture and a few others of Lilly Aramburo. Thank you, MDPD. I absolutely ADORE this picture. This is how I remember my friend. Smiling, laughing, enjoying the moment.

Lilly vanished, without a trace, on June 1, 2007. Life has not been the same. Her mom lives in constant agony, waiting for her daughter’s return. Having to raise her grandson under such difficult circumstances . With each day, Lilly’s son slowly loses precious memories of his mother. He was 9 months old, last time he saw her smiling face and was held in her embrace.

Anyone with info should immediately contact MDPD Det. Mancha at 305-418-7245.

Christen Pacheco, Your Conscious Must be KILLING You!!

Another newly acquired picture of Lilly courtesy of Miami Dade Police Department. With every new picture, sadness tends to overcome me. And all I’m left with are questions.

Christen Pacheco, the man Lilly was engaged to, was one of the last persons to see her alive. He reported her missing, 24 hours after the fact and before ever checking with family or friends. He tried to make it seem as if her intention was to kill herself. He fabricated that tale about Lilly leaving with bungee cords. Everyone knows that, if that was truly her intention, to hang herself or take her own life, her body would have been found by now. My gut feeling screamed murder. I never wanted to admit it until all the evidence hit me. I’ll save the details, for now. I will say, he never behaved like a man suffering due to the disappearance of his fiance. He never made any attempts to find her. He did say his family was in the FBI. And he pretended to make a phone call to them in front of Lilly’s mother and I. But I believe Christen Pacheco’s behavior is very telling. Apparently, several criminal profilers, including Clint Van Zandt, and others in the criminal justice field, agree with me.

After all this time, I believe her little boy and family, deserve answers. She absolutely did NOT willingly walk away from her son and her life. She did not walk out of that apartment at 2am in pajamas, without shoes, her cellphone, and with bungee cords to go flower picking. She would never allow so much time to pass without a phone call or checking on her son. Someone took her from us. And many of us will not rest until she is brought back home and justice is served for Lilly Aramburo.

Here’s a direct statement to her perpetrator, Christen Pacheco: YOUR CONSCIOUS MUST BE KILLING YOU!!!

Lilly Aramburo is pictured playing with a cute little black and white doggy. Lilly adored animals. Especially dogs. And kitties.

Miami Police are nothing like CSI:Miami


Recently, I had a conversation with the detective from Lilly’s case. It only took a few weeks of daily messages to his voice mail and emails to him and his superiors inside the Miami Dade Police Department.

I was a little frustrated to say the least but very thankful to have the opportunity to seek help in several aspects in the search for Lilly. And more specifically, I had some questions that needed answers.

In the few weeks in which I waited to speak with MDPD, I managed to not only get two Search and Rescue Teams to volunteer, but I tracked down the owners of the property (where the recent tip said she’d be found) called them and received approval for the search. All we were waiting for was MDPD.

Back to the conversation with detective. After almost 3 weeks, not much had been accomplished on their end. According to him, he was out the previous week and nobody handles his cases while he’s out. Besides, Lilly’s is not his only case (I’ve heard this mantra over and over again). Nevertheless, I was happy to report that we had 2 SAR teams ready to move and all we needed was their approval. That approval never came. What I got instead was a bunch of excuses.

And since then, I can’t help but wonder why the MDPD would not allow two professional Search and Rescue teams from South Florida to help in the search for Lilly? The more I think about it, the less it makes sense.

You would think they would welcome and accept any help that’s offered to them since they’re so tied up with hundreds of missing persons cases. So busy that it’s taken more than 3 weeks to get the ball rolling in order to complete the search at the property where Lilly’s remains might be found. Instead, they insist they are fully prepared. They have cadaver dogs…

After an entire year of neglect to her case, now we must rely on them and them only?

And yet, why has it taken this long? Can it really be that the MDPD are that tied up? That it takes them weeks to simply find out who the property owners are? When it took me less than 20 minutes? Trust me, Miami Dade Police are nothing like what you see on CSI:Miami, more like Reno 911.

Honestly, what is it going to take for police to solve this case? Lilly did NOT willingly abandon her child. She did NOT just vanish! All evidence points to one thing and one thing only. Christen has blood on his hands. He knows it, we all know it. But because of his connections, he’s being allowed to get away with murder.

Does more blood need to spill?

Please help me demand justice for Lilly. Send an email to Governor Charlie Crist at Charlie.Crist@myflorida.com and Attorney General Bill McCollum at ag.mccollum@myfloridalegal.com.

Since the moment I received the phone call from Lilly’s mother, I knew this was going to be a life changing event. Although, I was used to losing touch with Lilly every once and awhile, this was different. The more I learned about the details, the more I knew something was terribly wrong. Why would Lilly just take off and leave her precious baby behind? She would never do that!!

Christen and Kelly wanted to make it seem like she killed herself. Why else would they come up with that story of her walking out with bungee cords (in pajamas to pick flowers)?

A short time after Lilly disappears, Christen’s Cadillac SUV disappears. And Kelly moves in with Christen. According to them, there was another person in the apartment the night Lilly vanished. A mysterious guy by the nickname “EJ” or “AJ”. It’s been more than one year since that fateful night. And police have yet to interview Kelly in person. She left Miami, last year and by the looks of it, she is too much of a coward to come back.

Both Christen and Kelly claim they don’t don’t anything about “EJ/AJ”, not his real name, not his address, nothing. The only thing they could come up with is that he moved to Germany.

If you are from the Miami area and know anything about “EJ” or “AJ”, please contact Detective Mancha at 305-418-7245. If you knew Lilly and/or Christen Pacheco or Kelly Starling and could offer some insight, please email me. This has gone on way too long. Someone out there knows EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO LILLY. I urge you to contact the detective or call the tip line at 305-471-TIPS, you can remain anonymous if need be. Just make the phone call, please. No matter how small a detail, no matter how silly you think it may be, your information could help solve this mystery. It’s been a hellish experience for Lilly’s family and friends. Please help bring Lilly back home.

For the most recent update on Lilly’s case, please read Murder, Money & Power Miami Style. Very raw and unfiltered truth about what we are dealing with in the real life mystery of Lilly Aramburo’s disappearance. Please comment and make a quick phone call to the US Attorney’s Office at 305-530-7679. It appears the US Attorneys office are the only ones who can properly investigate this case. Also, please continue sending emails to Governor Charlie Crist and media. It makes absolutely no sense that after all this time, not ONE article has been written about Lilly’s case in local newspapers like The Miami Herald or Miami New Times. The local news channels are not helping either. It’s not due to lack of effort, I testify to that.
