A review by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue has concluded it was Theresa Velasquez, a 36-year-old music industry executive from Los Angeles who was visiting her parents at the Champlain Towers South on the night of the collapse.
Theresa Velasquez's brother, David, said he accepts the findings of the fire department investigation."There is no way to know 100%," he told CBS Miami,"but it seems like the logical conclusion.", written by Miami-Dade Deputy Fire Chief Ray Jadallah, Velasquez did survive the initial collapse, but rescue crews were unable to reach her before she died.
There were questions from the outset of the collapse about whether someone was heard alive in the rubble. Jadallah and others initially denied a voice was heard. Later the department acknowledged there was a voice in the initial hours behind a thick concrete slab that had crashed into the underground parking garage.Some firefighters believed the voice said she was in Unit 204. That was the unit where Valeria was staying with her parents, Luis Fernando Barth and Catalina Gomez.
"According to rescuers, the voice was that of a grown woman whose English appeared to be that of an English speaker with native sentence syntax and excellent vocabulary," the report continues."All the rescuers unanimously stated … [the voice] did not have an accent." Theresa Velasquez's body was unearthed on July 8. It was approximately 15 feet from the support poles they had erected while they were attempting the extricate the trapped woman. However, the report does not say if Valeria's body was also found in that area.
