The body of missing Cuban mother found lifeless in Miami.

Vilma Gil, the 51-year-old Cuban mother who disappeared on June 1st in Miami, was found dead, authorities reported on Monday.

The Cuban woman, mother of a five-year-old girl, was last seen at noon that day when she left her home in Hialeah heading to a hair salon, where she planned to get her nails done to attend her daughter's end-of-year party the next day. That night, her husband, Alexei Licea, reported her disappearance to the authorities.

A report from Univision 23's newscast showed the moment when Gil's relatives were leaving the Miami-Dade Police Department on June 17, "devastated" after being notified of the discovery of his lifeless body.

The family told the television channel that they were not informed about Gil's cause of death, nor the condition of the body, or when they could collect it.

However, it transpired that the investigation of the case is currently being carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and not by the Police, but the reason for this change is unknown, according to Univision 23, which requested information from the agency regarding this matter.

Gil's family had asked for help to find her, after losing all contact with her on the first of June. The Cuban woman's trail was lost at a gas station on 157th Avenue and Kendall Drive. Gil never made it to the hair salon.

On June 2nd, police officers found his car abandoned at Mile 32 on 8th Street in the Everglades, in a desolate area near a lake. Inside the vehicle were his belongings, except for his cell phone and a credit card.

In statements to Univision 23 the previous week, Gil's husband revealed that he had spoken to her at four in the afternoon on the day she disappeared.

"I didn't notice anything strange about her. I saw her in good spirits, I never would have imagined that was going to be the last time I was going to talk to her for a long time," he said.

Licea assured that later he tried to contact his wife several times, but was unsuccessful, and even thought that his cell phone battery had run out. That night he reported it to the police.

Meanwhile, desperate over the disappearance of the woman, her sister Digna Gil asked the community for any information or leads that could help them locate her.

The Miami-Dade County Police Department, in charge of the investigation, also made a call for anyone with relevant information about the case to contact the institution.
