On July 1, 2014 the Fremont Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit (SCU) contacted a residence in the 4500 block of Alhambra Dr. to determine the status of a vehicle that was registered to the residents. During the contact, one of the residents provided a name and a birth date that did not match records that were on file. When the officers attempted to clarify the name and birth date, the resident provided the incorrect birth date once again. The officers became suspicious of the resident and further researched his identity.
After further investigation, the resident was identified as William Marcelo Torres (41 years old, Fremont). A records check of Torres revealed a 2008 warrant out of Green Bay, Wisconsin for “Continued Sexual Abuse of a Child.” FPD Sex Crimes Detectives contacted Green Bay PD and learned that the suspect had been arrested in 2008 but posted bail and fled Wisconsin. Investigators believe that Torres has been hiding in Fremont for several years under the false identity of William Murillo. SCU Officers booked Torres at the Fremont Police Department Detention Facility. Torres is currently awaiting extradition to Wisconsin.
