When will these people go away for good?

From the Daily News:

The Queens beauty who was slashed in the face with a broken glass by her then-boyfriend, disgraced state Sen. Hiram Monserrate, has disappeared.

[Karla] Giraldo’s lawyers are pressing a $35 million lawsuit against the city, NYPD detectives and staff at Long Island Jewish Hospital alleging the domestic violence case against Monserrate was fabricated because he was a public official.

Her lawyers claim they haven’t heard from Giraldo for months and can’t locate her, prompting the city to suggest the suit has been abandoned and should be dismissed if she is not found by the next court date on Dec. 9, according to papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.

Not so, insists Giraldo’s lawyer Linda Cronin.

“We have not found her, but she travels a lot and goes back and forth to her native country [Ecuador] frequently,” Cronin told the Daily News.

She never indicated an intent to abandon the case in the past,” Cronin said, adding that she last spoke to Giraldo in midsummer.

Despite “numerous” attempts to find her, the lawyers say in court documents that they only hope to hear from Giraldo’s close family members “in the near future.”

Giraldo’s cousin did not return messages left for her in Queens and Miami.

Monserrate is serving a two-year sentence and may have to be deposed under oath in federal prison. He is due to be released in 2015.

The fact that "she travels a lot" is not the sort of thing that a judge likes to hear. That lawsuit is over.

The Queens beauty

Really?

Is Daily News reporter John Marzulli a heterosexual?

“We have not found her, but she travels a lot and goes back and forth to her native country [Ecuador] frequently,”

Hey, no problemo!

We understand Ms. Giraldo is a brilliant, important, and VERY BUSY member of the VIBRANT Ecuadorian community, so maybe the court should cut her some slack!

Maybe the judge could fly down to Ecuador and schedule a hearing with Ms. Giraldo while she's getting her nails done in Quito.

I believe shes an illegal.
If so how is it this 3rd world trash has the rights to sue in the first place ?
Anyway--I agree shes likely dead and will be found in pieces if at all. Them Ecuadorian drug cartels (who run that country) don't like people who bring attention home.
