PASCO, Wash.- The remains of Estela Torres-Rodriguez, who has been missing and presumed murdered since March 2019 have been found near Connell.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) held a press conference on July 11 and revealed that evidence found with Torres-Rodriguez’s body indicates that she was murdered.

Torres-Rodriguez was last seen on March 28, 2019. FCSO’s investigation led to a residence north of Pasco where it is believed she was killed. Her estranged husband and son were determined to be suspects in the case, but fled to Mexico.
