What a schmuck. Playing games and torturing the ones who care.
Luis Toledo was in court for another pretrial hearing Tuesday. He faces a second-degree murder charge in the death of his wife, Yessenia Suarez, and first-degree murder charges in the deaths of her children, Thalia Otto and Michael Otto. The bodies have not been found.
The judge granted a three-month continuance to Toledo, but Toledo's defense attorney told WESH 2 News he would not be ready for trial this year.
Sunday marked a day of mixed emotions for the family of a Volusia County woman who was allegedly murdered along with her two children. It would have been Yessenia Suarez’s 29th birthday, and in two days, her son would have turned 9-years-old.
“I know they said they’re deceased, but until they’re found, 1 percent of my heart says they’re still alive somewhere,” said Suarez’s mother, Felicia Perez.
The biological father of Yessenia Suarez has apparently asked the man accused of killing his daughter for permission to marry the accused killer’s sister, according to a letter provided by the State Attorney’s Office...
Emilio Suarez asked Toledo in a letter dated July 23 — released Friday after a Daytona Beach News-Journal records request — for his blessings in his courtship of Toledo’s sister, who the letter identifies as “Millie.”
Suarez refers to Toledo as “son” in the letter which has frequent misspellings... The letter was sent to the Volusia County Branch Jail where Toledo is being held without bail.
It made my eyebrows go up and stay up. I don't understand this at all.I'll jump on any excuse to bump an old thread, lol. But yeah, this bit of news made me :thud:
The biological father of a missing Deltona woman whose body has not been found said it was only a ruse when he wrote a letter asking the man accused of killing his daughter for permission to court and wed the suspect’s sister.
Emilio A. Suarez said he was just trying to get Luis Toledo, awaiting trial at the Volusia County Branch Jail, talking about the whereabouts of the bodies of Yessenia Suarez and her two children, who were reported missing on Oct. 23. Emilio Suarez also said he had planned to visit Toledo until the inmate was barred from having visitors after jailers found a razor blade hidden in one of his books...
“I don’t know his sister,” Emilio Suarez said in a phone interview denying any amorous interest in Toledo’s sister. “I don’t know what she looks like. I only saw her once in a picture. I haven’t talked to her on the phone. The reason I was saying that was to be nice with the guy.”
A memorial is planned Wednesday for a Florida woman and her two children, whose bodies still have not been found a year after authorities say they were slain.
Luis Toledo, the man accused of killing his wife and her two children whose bodies have not been found, used to say that he knew how to dispose of bodies, according to court documents.
And two days before Yessenia Suarez and her two children were reported missing on Oct. 23, 2013, Toledo threatened his wife with a knife, according to a deposition from Felicita Perez, Suarez’s mother...
Just over a year after the murders the family still does not know what happened to their loved ones, which only makes a terrible situation more painful, said Felicita Perez’ husband, Ruben Perez... “We don’t have anything,” he said in a phone interview. “It’s a year and we don’t have anything to begin to start having a recognition to begin to say they are here. We can’t even begin to have a closure because a year later there is nothing to hold on to.”
The Latin Kings gang has ties to some of Central Florida's most notorious crimes, from to baseball-bat killings to drug offenses to a hit-and-run crash that killed a girl at a day-care...
The crime: Toledo is accused of killing his wife, Yessenia Suarez, and her two children, ages 8 and 9. After Suarez disappeared Oct. 22, 2013, he confessed to killing her during an argument at their Deltona home, though he said it was an accident, records show. He denied killing the children.
Kings connection: A longtime member of the Latin Kings, Toledo at one point was the third-ranking King in the state, holding the position of Third Crown, or Warlord/Enforcer.
The Kings beat Dones so savagely that his ear was torn off. They pressed a burning-hot pan to his chest to sear off his tattoo, a five-pointed crown, the Kings' symbol. Then, out came a knife, to carve an X through Dones' seared flesh.
"I can't get that image out of my head," Toledo told a jury during a racketeering trial last year, which offered a rare glimpse behind the gang's curtain of silence and its culture of violence...
Toledo, the man so repulsed at Dones' torture, is himself accused of murdering his wife and her two children in Deltona... "My father always told me a man that hits a woman is a weak man," Toledo testified. That was Sept. 24, 2013. A month later, Toledo's wife, 28-year-old Yessenia Suarez, was dead.
A local man accused of murdering his wife and her two children will be in court Tuesday for a status hearing...
The hearing is expected to focus on a trial date, likely spring or summer, officials said.
New evidence filed in a high-profile Deltona murder case includes blood evidence from 8-year-old Michael Otto, who disappeared with his mother and sister, Channel 9 has learned.
Until now, investigators had found evidence linked only to Michael's sister, 9-year-old Thalia Otto.
