Justice for Lily Aramburo Hunger Strike: Latest Videos

Monday November 16th, Lily Aramburo’s 26th birthday marked the start of a Justice for Lily Hunger Strike in downtown Miami, Florida. 
We hung up banners and put up a multitude of signs at Government Center passing out flyers and engaging the community all week long. Most of everyone we spoke to was supportive of our efforts. Many shared their personal stories and offered encouraging words and prayers, including a Buddhist monk who prayed with us. I made sure to update everyone as much as I could via Twitter.

Early Monday morning, Lucely went on the Enrique Santos radio show. They’ve been an enormous help in our search for answers. We love their show and appreciate all their support. Take a listen here: 

Univision’s Primer Impacto came over after hearing Lucely on the radio. Watch the video below:

Telemundo was kind enough to cover our hunger strike, as well. (video posted below) We also had NBC6 and WSVN7 take footage Monday afternoon but the segments have not aired (that I’m aware of).

Private Investigator Joe Carrillo went on the Enrique Santos Show  on Friday morning, the last day of our 5 day fast. He gave a great interview on the radio which lasted about 15 minutes. Joe offers his insight into his investigation of Lily’s case.

Miami Dade Police detectives called Joe and set up a meeting, which already took place on Tuesday November 24, 2009. I’m pleased that there is dialog between Joe and Miami Dade Police command staff. But the fight for justice continues.

Justice for Lily Hunger Strike on Monday November 16

Monday, November 16, 2009 would have been my best friend, Lilly Aramburo‘s 26 birthday. Lily has been missing since June 2, 2007. Her plight has been featured on Nancy Grace and Americas Most Wanted.
Lily disappeared from the apartment of her heroin addicted boyfriend in the Dadeland area. Since then, her mother Lucely and I have launched an exhaustive search for her only to become disillusioned and extremely frustrated with the lack of effort of the Miami Dade Police Department. (Lucely on Lily’s 2 Yr anniversary)

Police failed to locate two witnesses that were present the night she disappeared. We’ve been working with private investigator Joe Carrillo and his team for over a year locating the two witnesses within days. A convicted killer has been identified by the investigators as a person of interest in her disappearance. After four meetings with the missing persons detectives, a convicted killer who served time for murder has yet to be interviewed even though identified and located by the private investigator. Why? Police refuse to answer the why.

Lily’s mother and I desperately need to bring attention to her disappearance and want answers from the Miami Dade Police Department. We’re both commencing a hunger strike Monday at 9:00 AM in front of the Miami Dade Government Center until we get answers.
