Nida Blanca-The Long Unresolved Story


“November 7, 2001- The actress Nida Blanca (Dorothy Jones) was found dead inside a vehicle, bruised and beaten up at Atlanta Center Condominium Building Annapolis St. Greenhills San Juan. In 2001, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) pointed to Strunk as the brains behind the killing, based on the testimony submitted by self-confessed assassin Philip Medel. The suspect later retracted his statement, claiming that he was tortured by the police to claim responsibility for the crime and to point at Strunk as the mastermind.”
2007… Nida Blanca’s husband Roger “Rod” Strunk allegedly committed suicide and died as he leaped to his death from the balcony of Tracy Inn.
Coincidence? Nida’s body was found blood-drenched in a parking lot, Rod Strunk’s body was found in a parking lot as well, so both their life ended in a parking lot and emersed to be very tragic. The two deaths still left so many questions unanswered.
One question though…what could have led him to commit suicide?Loneliness-he has no family and just volunteered to work. Or would it be because he was indeed guilty of murdering his own wife?
From here no justice could still be found…if he was indeed the culprit, killing himself is no justice at all but a way to free him from all the scrutiny and charges. But would he still be free from the flaming gates of hell?
Through all these we can’t help but await one voice…Kaye Torres’ Statement…Nida being in heaven would have been very proud of her daughter as she continues to radiate dignity…
And her heartfelt statement:
“I offer my deepest condolences to Rod’s sister, Sharry, and his two kids, Christine and Derke."
“It’s very tragic that Rod’s life had to end this way… whatever his faults and shortcoming may have been, I have never wished this kind of misfortune or tragedy on him.”
“I feel that the case should not end with the death of Rod Strunk; especially since his innocence or guilt has never been proven. Rod may have avoided extradition here, but now he will have to face a much higher court.”
“As my mother’s murder case continues to remain unsolved, one vital case to the solution of the case is gone…Rod’s death only makes it more impossible for those answers to be obtained,"
“The authorities should continue the pursuit, investigation and ultimate arrest of those suspects still at large,"
Let us continue to hope and pray that justice for the death of Nida Blanca would prevail…6 long years had passed…wherever she is, we continually pray that she finds the light and peace she deserves …and may the loved-ones she left find the same peace and light into this long unresolved story…
