Ufology in particular, and the study of the paranormal as a whole, represent a field of endeavor in which the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that the researcher hopes to piece together sometimes do not emerge for many years. This too has been the case with Moca?s best-known citizen. Although it would be a source of enormous satisfaction to be able to say that the solution to the riddle of who or what was the Moca Vampire has been found, the best we can do thirty years later is to learn that a government-mandated cover-up was in effect at the time.
On May 1, 2004, at a UFO event organized by researcher Reinaldo R?os and held at the Guayanilla Public Library in southwestern Puerto Rico, retired police officer Marcelino P?rez told his story to an audience of over 400 people who crammed into the library?s auditorium.
In 1974, P?rez explained, he held the rank of lieutenant in Puerto Rican Police and became involved in the Moca Vampire?s depredations during the course of his police work. His supervisors in the island?s police force had issued the order that any and all mutilations ascribed to the unknown predator should be classified as the work of feral dogs. According to this secret memorandum, the retired officer added, avoiding a panic was of the essence, and anyone discussing the subject in terms of space aliens or monsters should be openly ridiculed as a liar or madman. This was the fate of a certain journalist who wrote certain stories about the unknown mutilator for one of the island?s newspapers: the reporter was accused of hoaxing the stories and even worse, of being responsible for the animal mutilations.
On the average, according to Marcelino Perez, the Moca Vampire would appear and disappear with three-month lapses in between each spate of activity. The police investigated over a hundred cases in all?cases in which he would arrive on the scene and proclaim in a loud voice that the mutilations had been the work of wild dogs. Given his rank in the police, he explained, people believed him and returned to the homes with their feelings slightly assuaged. It is his belief that his willingness to go along with the directives issued by his higher-ups resulted in his promotion to captain shortly after?a rank with which he retired from law enforcement.
