Missing Jupiter woman had accused husband
Hernandez hasn’t been seen since late in 2016.
Rosselys Felix Hernandez vanished in 2016. Now her husband and her teen daughter have disappeared.
JUPITER — In September 2016, Rosselys Felix Hernandez claimed in court documents that her husband was being physically abusive and might be engaged in an inappropriate relationship with her teenage daughter. A Broward County judge granted her request for a temporary restraining order.
By the end of 2016, Hernandez would go missing and there’s been no trace of her since.
According to Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office, Hernandez, 31, was last seen in Jupiter late in 2016.
Shortly after Hernandez vanished, Daniel Paul York packed up her three children and moved to Monticello, Kentucky, about 100 miles southwest of Lexington.
This month, authorities in Kentucky announced that Amabel Felix, Hernandez’s 15-year-old daughter, left her foster-care home in Wayne County, Kentucky, in the company of York, 50, and hasn’t been seen since.
Kentucky State Police said York, who married Rosselys Hernandez in December 2015, lived in Kentucky with his wife’s three children — two girls and a boy — until February when the state’s child protective services agency took custody of the kids.
Court documents in Broward County say York is the children’s stepfather. The documents show the children’s biological fathers are either deceased or unknown.
Hernandez and York were not married for long and their final days as a couple were filled with accusations, court records show.
York filed a petition in Broward County court on Sept. 26, 2016, seeking custody of Hernandez’s three children claiming that his wife was “unfit to care for the children” because of “untreated mental health” issues.
The next day, Hernandez requested two restraining orders against York. In one, she claimed her husband had been physically abusive, “shoving” an apple pie in her face in one instance. In the second, Hernandez said her then 13-year-old daughter “has a suspicious inappropriate relationship with Daniel.”
Hernandez said York “seduces” her daughter with “lavish gifts” that he did not give to the other two children and that he engaged in “sexual touching” with the girl.
“He has a love affair with my 13-year-old Amabel and punishes and tortures my other (two) children and me because he wants to control them so they don’t say what’s going on,” Hernandez wrote in the petition.
On Nov. 14, 2016, Hernandez asked the court to dissolve the restraining order. She would go missing soon after.
Authorities said Hernandez lived in Jupiter, but it could not be determined where or when she lived in the town.
