Waldo Suarez, 61, was murdered in Naples, Florida, on May 5, 1994. The case remains unsolved and is listed among Collier County’s cold cases. Investigators say the original inquiry faced challenges common to that era: sparse development in parts of the community, limited witness cooperation and gaps in evidence collection, which have complicated efforts to build a definitive lead.

Authorities have periodically revisited the file, hoping advances in forensic technology or new information might help, but no suspect has been identified or linked to the crime to date. The Collier County Sheriff’s Office and local officials continue to appeal for tips and stress that even small details could be important to finally bring closure.

If anyone knew Waldo Suarez, was in Naples in May 1994, or has information about this homicide, please contact the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.
