One reader comment about Rafael Acosta Jr.
He was a great person to know, at his awful timely death he was expecting a handsome little boy, now will never know what his dad is like. Why has this investigation not been solved? Knowing the person/person's among the crowd he associated with it's very hard for anyone to keep a closed lip! This case should, even possibly could of been solved a long time ago if no one gave up on him in death. YOUR GREATLY MISSED CRICKET....... Your friend Ginger
