66-year-old Roberto Colon of Boynton Beach, Florida, married 45-year-old Mary Stella Gomez-Mullet to help her get an American passport, but in less than one month, police found her buried in his backyard.
Roberto had met Mary on the 25th of December 2020 and promised to marry her to help her stabilize in the country, and in exchange she would take care of his elderly mother. Roberto lived in Boynton while his mother lived in Hialeah, Florida, so he needed someone who would be close to her and look after her.
In less than one month after they were legally married, chaos erupted. His mother complained that Mary was stealing her money, and when Roberto went to the bank to confirm it, he discovered that his mother’s bank account had been drained. Mary had used her debit cards and also signed fake checks to withdraw money from the woman’s account. Then came the next shock: Mary had also put his mother’s apartment up for sale without his consent.
On February 18, 2021, Mary was on a call with one of her closest friends when she screamed, “No, no, no, Roberto!” before the line disconnected. That was the last time anyone heard from her or saw her alive. Roberto had hit her on the head with a metal pipe and sawed off her legs and head before burying her in his backyard.
This sham relationship lasted less than 60 days, and both lives were destroyed, as Roberto was finally sentenced to life in prison.
