Miami Mom Leaves to Pick Flowers At 2 a.m.; Never Seen Again
Lucely "Lilly" Aramburo missing since June 2, 2007
Lucely "Lilly" Aramburo is probably not a name you recognize. While she's been missing since June last year, the Miami area media has yet to print or air a word about her disappearance. You would think that her story would interest somebody. At 24, she's the mother of a year old son. Friends say she'd never walk away from her baby. Yet at 2.am. on June 2, her boyfriend reported she changed into pajamas and left to pick flowers. No one has seen her since. The only place you can find information about Lilly is through some missing person websites and a MySpace page dedicated to her.
Lilly is not what many in the media consider a "sexy" story. She was a drug user but cleaned up when she became pregnant. She also suffers from psychological problems including schizophrenia. Both issues raise the question, did she leave on her own in an impaired state? Friends I spoke to don't believe that.
Lilly moved in with Christen Pacheco, a successful businessman in the Miami area. She told friends they had planned to marry. While things looked good for the couple on the outside, it was far from a perfect relationship. [Let me state right here, I am not using the friends names because they say they are fearful. They do not want their names used and I'll respect that.] According to friends, police were called to the couple's home several times by neighbors who heard fighting. No one was ever arrested.
But Lilly was afraid of something. She reportedly told her mother that if anything happened to her, Christen should be the suspect because he supposedly told her that if he wanted to make her disappear, he could.
The account Christen gave Lilly's mother seemed odd to her. There were people at the couple's home in the living room. Lilly went into the bedroom to get pajamas and then came into the living room to change in front of everyone. Friends found that strange saying she's not that kind of person. She's a shy person. According to the account, Christen wasn't sure what the pajamas looked like. She wasn't wearing shoes, didn't have her purse and didn't have her cell phone. She said she was going to pick flowers. Friends also found it strange that Christen reported Lilly missing to the police 24 hours after he last saw her. He didn't try calling her mother, who lives near Miami, to see if she perhaps went there, he called the police. Lilly's baby son was with her mother at the time spending the weekend. Another story that concerned friends was the fact Christen's Cadillac SUV disappeared shortly after Lilly's disappearance. Eventually, Christen said he was in an accident on a trip to New York and the vehicle was totaled. He was uninjured.
It gets stranger. One of the house guests on that June 2 night was a woman who had a previous relationship with Christen. This woman wrote a blog about Lilly about 2 weeks prior to her disappearance. A warning. The language is very strong.
lilie is a monster
disgusting
little monster. she doesn't care for anyone but herself. now she has
ruined someone else's entire fukking life and is marrying him for the
fukking drugs that she got him hooked on (which by the way is supposed
to happen tomorrow). and who cares what happens with her son? who cares
that he's in fukkin foster care and that's an awful life? she cares
more about a night of smoking crack than about getting him back and
saving his entire future. i know she doesn't want to be a good mom but
damn she won't even put him somewhere safe. like she has no love for
him. she's just like "fuk it palden, i want crack, your on your own,
good luck, peace."
and what happened to friends? she only thinks
about herself dude shes seriously a shell of a person. a fukkin
crackhead. a manipulative, psychotic little monster. and she's so
fukkin paranoid about losing her drug supply that she's turned on me
for fear that i'll steal chris from her because he and i were such
close friends before she even started really hanging out with him.
she's so fukking paranoid she lost it because david was in the bathroom
shaving when chris was taking a shower so she thought they were FUCKING!
oh!oh! and today, she decided that she believes in god, and their gunna
be married by a priest tomorrow, and they're going to attend church
every sunday, and she says they aren't going to talk to me anymore. she
makes me sick. i fukking hate crack and crackheads.
Is she the victim of foul play or did she leave on her own? There have been reported sightings of her in the Miami area. That happens a lot in missing person cases. Friends put up flyers and generate sighting reports. But it's been 10 months with no contact. "There's no way she'd leave her baby," a friend said.
All this and the story hasn't been told at all in the Miami area. Several calls were placed by family and friends to local news channels and newspapers. Nothing. Not a word.
There's always two sides to a story. Sometimes more. I've reached out to Christen so he can tell his side and provide his perspective. I've also reached out to the detective on this case for his thoughts. The media can really only do so much. Take a look at Lilly below as well as her physical description. Keep her in mind especially if you are in the Miami area.
Anyone with any information should immediately contact Miami Dade Police - Detective Mancha 305-418-7245 amancha@mdpd.com

Get her some ATTENTION.

I would like say thank you to you for helping this family. With many missing people in this world there are only 2 type that get media attention. Children (which I wouldn't want it any other way) or blonde blue eyed white girls (I am white). Any missing person that gets the media's attention is good. But certain types seem to get it.
I came across this young girls myspace page (my son has been missing now for almost 10 months) and had wondered why not much was done. I pray for her and her family and friends to get some news soon.
I am wondering more about this boyfriend and blog writer. What kind of boyfriend would let his girl go out at 2 am by herself to get flowers. Let alone change in front of everyone. What is wrong with the police. Do they not think that strange. Why are they not looking at his totaled car???
I was told about this website through Lilly's myspace. I had recently wrote to ask how the investigation was going and they wrote and told me about this. Good job and Thank you for helping this family.

I am glad to know that there are newS media, who print story on the less fournate, that you don't have to blonde and blue eyes to get media attention. i have been going through the same things for 5 years, trying to get some justic for my missing daughter lisa michelle hatchell. the LE has done very little to bring this story to the media, the media usually get their info from other sort, but thank GOD they act on it when they get it, they don't just say, well it just another addict who left and went some where else to get high. the LE need to listen to family members who know their love ones, better than anyone else. so keep up the good work ZERO GOSSIP. AND TO THIS FAMILY KEEP THE FAITH.
