On December 27, 2022 officers responded to the 6200 block of Curry Ford Road in response to a missing person. Victoria-Gonzalez, who contacted OPD, said she hadn't seen Medina-Pacheco, who was her roommate, since December 25th, Christmas day. 

As the investigation continued, detectives found multiple inconsistencies in Victoria-Gonzalez's story.

A search warrant was executed at their residence and evidence was discovered that indicated a very different and violent incident.

Following an investigation involving multiple agencies at the local, state, and federal levels, detectives determined that Victoria-Gonzalez was residing in Hartford, CT. 

After investigators interviewed Victoria-Gonzalez again in Hartford, they developed probable cause to charge her in the death of Runyleidy Medina-Pacheco.
