Murder and the $m car - the story of the Trinidad RS Porsche

If businessman Leon Paria were alive today, he would have likely been the 62-year-old owner of a piece of automotive history, worth more than $10 million.
Instead, he became a murder statistic.
Paria left home one morning in October of 2002, and never brought back the ingredients for the Sunday meal planned with his wife and two infant daughters.

His Toyota Rav 4 was found abandoned in Sangre Grande the next day.

And his remains were found in the bushes outside of the town, the next month.

Paria died in a year when kidnapping for ransom became a lucrative enterprise in Trinidad.

It was also the year when the murder count reached a then- outrageously high 171.

If we only knew how much worse it would get.

As with many of the killings happening now, Paria's death was never solved, despite the best efforts of widowed wife Carol Paria.

For years she tried to get the homicide bureau to continue digging for information leading to an arrest, indictment, prosecution, justice.

It never happened.

The homicide “unsolved” rate in troubled Trinidad and Tobago is about nine out of ten.

Sixteen years later, Carol continues to operate the business she started with her husband, an auto air-conditioning service shop in San Fernando.

Their children have grown up and made their own lives.

She still maintains at the family home in Santa Cruz from which Leon Paria left that day, to come back in a coffin six weeks later.

sad...i feel for her but finding the killer/s will not bring back her husband. There are many others who suffer the same plight but at least she has the family business and whatever wealth he had accrued in the business to keep on living, something others don't have. Ppl have to leave their schooling and get a job to help mind their brothers and sisters.

It's better they doh find the killers yes, cause she will have to pay taxes to feed, clothe and rehabilitate them in prison, if they doh get hang.

Chill Out, always wondered what happened to that business. They had a branch by the Royal Road traffic light. The sign still there I think yes.
