Missing Florida wife Mimose Dulcio’s body has been found, husband Jose Pacheco has filed charges

The body of a missing Florida woman, believed to have been killed by her husband, has been found in a wooded area of ​​Miami-Dade County, police confirmed Tuesday night.

Police identified the remains as belonging to 39-year-old Broward County resident Mimose Dulcio after the body was discovered last Wednesday at the 5500 block of Northwest 204th Street, The Miami Herald reported.

Dulcio’s husband, 36-year-old Jose Luis Pacheco, was arrested Nov. 14 in Miami-Dade County and charged with second-degree murder in his wife’s disappearance. He remains incarcerated in prison awaiting transfer back to Broward County, prison records show.

Dulcio was last seen on November 10th. When her sister called and received no answer, she went into the Fort Lauderdale-area home she shared with Pacheco and found her bedroom door locked and two broken cellphones under the couch, police said.

The home’s security cameras were also destroyed, family members told WPLG. Dulcio and Pacheco were separated and in the process of getting a divorce, but still lived together in the three-bedroom house.

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office released a missing persons report on Nov. 11. Pacheco told investigators he “hasn’t had any contact with Dulcio for a few days and they’re in the process of getting a divorce,” according to The Herald.

Police found evidence in the couple’s Dodge Charger that suggested Pacheco murdered Dulcio and then drove and dumped her body, police said.
