Luis Vigoreaux Rivera (April 12, 1928 – January 17, 1983) was a Puerto Rican radio and television show host, announcer, comedian and producer.Vigoreaux joined Ramón Rivero "Diplo" and José Luis Torregrosa for the radio comedy El Tremendo Hotel.Between 1954 and 1955, he joined fellow comedian José Miguel Agrelot in a theater show that took them to many Latin American communities in the United States.However, Vigoreaux moved on when he and his second wife, Lydia Echevarria, began hosting the show named La Hora Cero.The show presented many local and international singers, including Celia Cruz, José Feliciano and Marco Antonio Muñiz.With the production and hosting of all those shows at the same time, the Vigoreaux family opened a studio, which they named Estudio CVC.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.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.Papo Newman received immunity from the Department of Justice of Puerto Rico to testify in court what happened the night of the murder.
