Editing Luis Vigoreaux (section)

==Murder and aftermath==
On the morning of January 18, 1983, Vigoreaux didn't show up to work at the radio station or at WAPA-TV, causing his co-workers to worry. When his [[Mercedes-Benz]] was found with a burned body inside, it was taken to the medical examiner's office, where it was confirmed it was Vigoreaux.

His death launched a wave of rumors and speculations, and led to one of the biggest trials in Puerto Rico's history. His wife, Lydia Echevarría, was accused formally of his murder, along with Papo Newman and David López-Watts. Allegedly, Echevarría had become jealous of a relationship Vigoreaux had started with actress Nydia Castillo, and had paid Newman and López-Watts to either beat him or murder him. Vigoreaux's body was found gagged, stabbed, and burned inside the car's trunk.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.elnuevodia.com/Xstatic/endi/template/imprimir.aspx?id=660907&t=3|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130122005212/http://www.elnuevodia.com/Xstatic/endi/template/imprimir.aspx?id=660907&t=3|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 22, 2013|title=Roberto Vigoreaux no perdonará a Lydia Echevarría|work=[[El Nuevo Día]]|date=January 17, 2010}}</ref>

Echevarría has maintained her innocence, but she was convicted to a [[life sentence]] in [[Vega Alta, Puerto Rico]]. Newman and López-Watts received similar sentences. However, Echevarría and López-Watts only served roughly 12 years in jail. Papo Newman received immunity from the Department of Justice of Puerto Rico to testify in court what happened the night of the murder. Newman did not serve time in prison as an agreement.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.primerahora.com/147presospodriansalirlibres-386897.html|title=147 presos podrían salir libres [147 prisoners could be freed]|work=[[Primera Hora (Puerto Rico)|Primera Hora]]|author=Andreu, Leila|date=May 13, 2010|access-date=April 17, 2012|archive-date=September 15, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100915021425/http://www.primerahora.com/147presospodriansalirlibres-386897.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> In January 2000, Governor [[Pedro Rosselló]] granted Echevarría a pardon, which was largely criticized by the people.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.elnuevodia.com/Xstatic/endi/template/imprimir.aspx?id=852139&t=3|title=López Watts fue víctima de 'carjacking'|work=[[El Nuevo Día]]|date=December 29, 2010|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110103004804/http://www.elnuevodia.com/Xstatic/endi/template/imprimir.aspx?id=852139&t=3|archivedate=January 3, 2011}}</ref>

At the time of his death, Vigoreaux was about to begin another game show, ''[[A Millón (Puerto Rican show)|A Millon]]'', which eventually became one of the most popular shows in Puerto Rican television history, under the hosting of [[Hector Marcano]] and produced by Vigoreaux's son, [[Luisito Vigoreaux]].
