But the talk around the Dominican Republic suggested a daughter of the dictator's first marriage, Flor de Oro, and Trujillo's second wife, Bienvenida Ricardo, both believed to be in Montreal; two children, Rafael and Yolanda, born to longtime mistress, Lina Lovatón, all three of whom live in Miami.
