  • CNN was granted exclusive access as the NYPD re-opened the cold case of 13-year-old Minerliz Soriano's murder. For nearly four years, the department's top detectives & forensics lab kept the case alive, culminating in a history-making arrest 22 years after her body was found in a dumpster. #CNN #News

    Seeing him get a little choked up saying "I hope she knows that she wasn't forgotten" means something. Sometimes it feels like our justice system doesn't care. It's a blessing to see those who do.

    I am 65. When I was 14 my good friend Dawn Cave was murdered. In Bethany CT. She walked out if her house in the late afternoon and was found 30 days later in a field, raped and murdered. They believe they know who was responsible but no one was punished for it. I think about her all the time. We weren't even allowed to talk about it. It was so horrendous that our parents just did the Ostrich. It is important to solve these cases. Closure matters.

      And more : many folks in the streets (tourists or not) let be carried away for people like this that they don't even know, any tourist locations let's say, it's full of bad guys but somehow i keep reading in posts: Oh, such and such is great, oh such and such is great person but in reality their history is very bad but local people don't talk about it not to hurt the tourism. There's always people like him disguised as a good person, tourists guide, boats, baloons, summer schools and so on. I'm tired to see people who arrive to a tourist place , pay high fees and end up dying for nothing as folks like this one are some how smart enough to hide for a while. Tks for this kind of technology to take this guy out of the streets. Also there should be a law (which would not work in this case as he has never being arrested before ) where this local "personalities" should get checked and tested by the city. I know it's almost impossible but maybe there would be a way to test people like him and get a "red" flag before something bad happens.

    What is the scariest is how this disgusting man was around so many other children throughout these years and then he was so interested and focused on one of Minerliz passions is sickening. It’s almost like he was getting to relive the memory of his victim for all of these years and making a name for himself with one of her passions. I didn’t know this young lady or her family but I am soooo grateful for the dedicated detectives, officers, forensic teams etc. who never gave up and after all those years the fire never went out to find her killer. Now I hope this man rots in prison for the rest of his pathetic life.

First of all the self discipline involved in self defense is very important and secondly it is unexpected. If an adult grabs a kid he doesn't expect them to be able to fight back. A well placed punch in the throat or finger in the eye can give a child the opportunity to escape.

    Her poetry and journal really humanised her. It made me laugh as she had cute dreams for the future and then I remembered what happened to her. She dreamed of a boy called Edward and if you didn't pause she wrote "on our date, we will go to the movies" and that he would "not drop out of high school" and one day "he will ask me to marry him and we will have a baby and will live in a house" and then she added "small" next to "house," which was so sweet. Oh, and she wrote that they will "own a Ferrari."

This guy looked like a normal (or even a really good) guy but he had killed a beautiful little girl with a lot of promise and threw her in the trash.

    Kudos to the retired Detective for his many years of service and dedication for this victim and the many other victims out there, and kudos to all of the other law enforcement officers who are out there giving it their all to make a difference when evil creeps into the lives of innocent people, especially children.
    Children being victims of any type of crime is unacceptable and I think that society in general needs to find a cohesive across the board program to reduce those types of crimes.
    It should include a national database to upload only child victim cases into so that they can be cross checked for matching information (child predators move around the country), it should have a national unit of elite detectives assigned to it, etc., etc.
    You get the idea.
    We know that the predators are out there and they continue to victimize children but, as a nation, what are we truly trying to do about it?
    It's beyond time to focus on this issue in a way that children deserve for it to be.
