Jose Edgardo Soto, 30, was last seen alive on August 3, 1981, and was reported missing for several days before his body was recovered from a rock pit pond in Miami on August 10, 1981. Authorities classified his death as a homicide; reports say the body was found in a manner suggesting foul play, but motive and the events leading to his death have not been disclosed.

The case remains unsolved and open, with investigators asking anyone who might have information—no matter how small—to come forward to help bring justice for Soto and his family. Few concrete details about the disappearance, the location, or possible witnesses have been released publicly, leaving several unanswered questions about what happened between August 3 and August 10, 1981.

Did anyone in Miami at that time see or hear anything related to a disappearance near rock pits or remote ponds in early August 1981?
