A woman whose roommate went missing from their Florida home in 2022 has been arrested nearly two years after the disappearance.
Gisselle Victoria-Gonzalez, 42, was arrested by the Orlando Police Department and charged with second-degree murder after the disappearance of her roommate, Runyleidy Medina-Pacheco, the department said in a release posted Thursday.
Investigators said around 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 27, 2022, the department received a missing person report from a residence in Orlando.
According to WESH, officers told the news outlet that Medina-Pacheco had come from the Dominican Republic and moved into the apartment in October 2022 to stay with Victoria-Gonzalez.
Police also told the outlet that Victoria-Gonzalez was an acquaintance of Medina-Pacheco, who she met briefly from the doctor.
Victoria-Gonzalez contacted the police department stating that she had not seen her roommate since Christmas Day, authorities said.
Authorities then began an investigation and discovered multiple inconsistencies in Victoria-Gonzalez's story, police said.
After obtaining a search warrant of their home, police said they discovered significant evidence that showed “a violent incident had occurred.”
