“I am waiting for the brother to pick him up,” Rodriguez-Ramirez wrote to her fiance, Julio Tovor, Now Habersham News reported.

What happened to Minelys Zoe Rodriguez-Ramirez?
Rodriguez-Ramirez, who has a nine-year-old daughter, moved to the US from Puerto Rico six years back. She came to the US after being offered a job at Mt. Vernon Hills Inc. Her daughter moved back to Puerto Rico to live with her father.
