Yessenia Suarez, 28, along with her children, 8-year-old Michael Otto and 9-year-old Thalia Otto, went missing hours after her husband, Luis Toledo, 31, showed up at her job in Lake Mary and beat her up.
It’s a father’s ultimate betrayal.
The biological dad of a missing Florida woman has asked to marry her alleged killer’s sister, according to prison letters.
Emilio Suarez is the father of Yessenia Suarez, a 28-year-old Volusia County woman who went missing in Oct. 2013, along with her 8- and 9-year-old children. The trio are presumed dead and prosecutors have pinned the crime on Luis Toledo, Yessenia’s 31-year-old husband.
While Toledo sits in the Volusia County Branch Jail, held without bail on charges of first- and second-degree murder, Emilio has apparently sent him a letter confessing his love for Toledo’s sister.
In the six-page letter, obtained by ClickOrlando and littered with misspellings, Emilio asks the former high-ranking Latin Kings gang member for his blessing.

“I’m falling in love with your sister and son you know how Im. and I Do want her for good I will marrit her,” Emilio writes.
“I ask you for yor permition to date an probably marriet your sister. An that will be after we see if we match + we get alone pepectly good I will do any thing possible to make her Happy and I hope she do the same for me,” he continues.
The dad admits that the relationship wouldn’t be well-received by Yessenia’s family and others who knew her children, Thalia and Michael Otto.
“In the other side I know you will say what about my family well. Thats something that I will have to deal with that,” Emilio writes.
Luis Toledo faces a second-degree murder charge for Yessenia’s death and first-degree charges for the deaths of her two kids.

Luis Toledo faces a second-degree murder charge for Yessenia’s death and first-degree charges for the deaths of her two kids.
But relatives of Millie, the object of Emilio’s affections, claim the woman has no interest in starting a relationship with the dad.
“He’s making it seem like him and my mom are in a relationship when they are not,” Angelica Ruiz, Millie’s daughter, told the News-Journal. “He doesn’t even know my mom. My mom has never even met him. My mom doesn’t even talk to that guy.”
He also asks Toledo to reveal where the missing bodies are located, so that he can bury them in a cemetery and bring flowers on the victims’ birthdays or special occasions.
Emilio professes his love for the suspect, whom he repeatedly calls “son,” and promises to never testify against him.

“I always will be there for you. Cus you know I have Jesus in my hart. And since Day One I told you I forgive you. Right remember. Did I ever screem at you or curs you out. never,” Emilio writes.
The confessions shocked Yessenia’s mom, Felecita Perez, who is still grieving for her daughter and grandchildren.
In his letter, Emilio had apparently promised Toledo that he wouldn’t sit next to Perez during the court trial.
“If he doesn’t want to sit next to me, he doesn’t have to sit next to me,” Felicita Perez said. “That’s a good thing, I guess.”
Toledo has previously admitted to killing Yessenia, but still claims he's not responsible for the missing children. His pre-trial hearing is slated for Sept. 16 and his trial is expected to start in October.
