Mother’s Intuition Saves the Day: Woman’s Suspicion Over No Toilet Paper Leads to Kidnapper’s Arrest

In a troubling incident in Florida, a man has been taken into custody after allegedly trapping a woman in his apartment during what was supposed to be a pleasant date. The situation quickly spiraled into a distressing ordeal.

The suspect, 34-year-old Saady Castellanos Triminio, is now facing multiple charges, including robbery, child neglect, false imprisonment, and battery by strangulation. According to a Miami police report, the victim recounted that the two had connected in early February through a social media dating app. After several phone conversations, she made the decision to travel from Orlando to Miami to meet him, bringing her 3-year-old daughter along for the journey.

Upon her arrival at the train station, Castellanos Triminio was there to pick her up. The plan was to go out for a meal, but instead, he opted for ordering a pizza and took them back to his apartment located on NE Bayshore Court. Once inside, the woman began to feel uneasy due to the state of the home.

She noticed the apartment was not well-kept, lacking even basic necessities like toilet paper, as described in the police affidavit. Despite her discomfort, the woman stayed and continued to interact with Castellanos Triminio. However, when he attempted to initiate physical contact by asking for a hug and a kiss, she declined, emphasizing that they were merely friends. Feeling increasingly unsettled, she decided it was time to leave and began to gather her belongings.

Despite the uncomfortable feeling, she stayed at the home and spoke with the suspect. Then Castellanos Triminio asked for a hug and a kiss but the victim did not want to do that, saying they were just friends, according to the affidavit. She said she wanted to leave the home and started grabbing her things.

“At that point, the defendant became irate and told her not to leave, stating that it was too dangerous,” the affidavit said. “He then bear-hugged her and physically prevented her from exiting the room.”

The victim grabbed her phone and began texting a friend that she was in trouble. Castellanos Triminio allegedly snatched her phone, which prompted the victim to start screaming. In response, he covered her mouth and nose with his hand which prevented her from yelling, cops said. She also couldn”t breathe.

She was able to get away and go into a locked room with her daughter and called her friend, per the affidavit. The friend called 911 and police showed up at the apartment. Cops told the friend to have the victim make noise to let them know she was inside. Castellanos Triminio apparently opened the door and cops rescued the victim shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday.

Officers noted she had bruises on both of her arms, though she was not in need of medical attention. They took Castellanos Triminio into custody for an interview.

After receiving his Miranda rights, the defendant allegedly “admitted to the incident in its entirety.” He said he prevented her from leaving because he felt it was too dangerous, according to the complaint. He also allegedly admitted to covering her mouth and nose with his hand, saying he didn’t want to alert neighbors.

Castellanos Triminio remains at the Miami-Dade County jail without a bond. He also has an immigration hold, records show.
