Lazaro Comesana, a 27-year-old Hispanic male identified as a transvestite, was strangled to death in Miami, Florida, on September 17, 1994. His killing is described as the first in a series of murders that targeted sex workers along the Tamiami Trail; the perpetrator later known as Rory Conde dumped victims in suburban neighborhoods and sometimes left taunting messages directed at law enforcement.

The investigation into Comesana’s death became linked to five other similar murders. In June 1995 a woman bound with duct tape drew neighbors’ attention while trapped in an apartment, an incident that led to the arrest of Rory Conde. Conde confessed to the killings and was charged with six counts of first-degree murder.

Reports say Conde pleaded guilty to Comesana’s murder and four others, receiving five consecutive life sentences without parole, and was convicted and sentenced to death in the murder of Rhonda Dunn. What details about Lazaro Comesana’s life or his movements in Miami around September 1994 might help provide more context to the case?
