    The necklace that accused the innocent: The murder of Karina del Pozo

    An owl necklace abandoned in a ravine north of Quito was the only clue that led investigators to the body of Karina del Pozo, 20 years old, hidden under a log. But the physical evidence tells a different story than the one justice condemned: blood in a car, dirt on clothing, witnesses whose statements changed three times.

    In this episode, we explore how the vehicle's GPS destroyed the initial alibi, why the concentrated blood in the front area does not match who was convicted as the perpetrator, and how two accusers with no physical trace managed to send a third to prison while they themselves carried evidence of the crime.

    Victim: Karina del Pozo
    Date: February 19-20, 2013
    Location: Quito, Ecuador (Llano Chico ravine)
    Status: Convicted; parole in 2023

    - The GPS of Manuel's car records hours stopped in the ravine, but not the stop on Avenida Brasil where Karina supposedly took a taxi.
    - Karina's blood appears on the steering wheel and handles of Manuel's car, areas where the person in front was, not where David was sitting.
    - Manuel changed his story three times during the investigation: taxi, David killed, then that he himself hit Karina with a rock.
    - David obtains parole after 10 years without ever finding his blood, dirt, or belongings of the victim on his body or at his home.

  • The Silence of Lucía: seven years, three judges, one truth

    The Silence of Lucía: seven years, three judges, one truth
    Apr 20 2026
    The Silence of Lucía: Seven Years, Three Judges, One Truth: The Feminicide of Lucía Pérez Montero

    Three men took an unconscious teenager to a medical guard on October 8, 2016. The autopsy revealed a washed body. The first court acquitted them of abuse, calling the victim a "pathological addict" based on private conversations. How is it possible that the system protects the accused before the one who died?

    In this episode, we explore the contradictions that destroyed two trials: the first autopsy that speaks of impalement without evidence, the second that dismisses that hypothesis, and the old rectal injuries that no court managed to date accurately. Matías's message asking for condoms while Lucía was unconscious in her home, against his version of a spontaneous encounter. And how a press conference contaminated the investigation from day one.

    Victim: Lucía Pérez Montero
    Date: October 8, 2016
    Location: Mar del Plata, Argentina
    Status: Confirmed conviction (March 2023); family seeks greater justice

    - Last recorded access to WhatsApp exactly at 10:30 on October 8: the moment Matías picked her up, after which he never wrote again.
    - The first autopsy mentions "impalement" in a press conference; the second autopsy by the Supreme Court completely dismisses it; Dr. Carrizo denies having included that in her original report.
    - 40 grams of cocaine and 250 grams of marijuana found in the truck: confirms organized operation between Matías and Juan Pablo, not a casual sale of 100 pesos.
    - Defense used 150 private WhatsApp conversations to attack Lucía's reputation; the second trial rejected all evidence as gender stereotypes without forensic validity.

    Keila in the cell: five years for fourteen dollars: The homicide of Keila Martínez at Police Unit No. 10

    A 26-year-old nursing student was declared dead with no vital signs at a hospital at 2:55 AM on February 7, 2021. The responsible officer received a sentence of 5 years in prison but was released two weeks later. His penalty: a fine equivalent to 14 dollars for the life of a woman. How does a homicide case disappear in the Honduran judicial system?

    In this episode, we explore the fissures between the autopsy that determined mechanical asphyxia by third parties, the police version of impossible suicide in a cell with no points of support, and the testimony of the doctor who changed his statements depending on whom he was speaking to. The investigation reveals how a charge of aggravated femicide was reduced three times until it became reckless homicide, allowing the accused to leave prison in February 2024 while threats pursue the family.

    Victim: Keila Martínez
    Date: February 6-7, 2021
    Location: Police Unit No. 10, La Esperanza, Intibucá, Honduras
    Status: Closed without justice; accused at liberty

    - The ceiling of the cell was a cement slab with no securing elements, making the hanging described by the police physically unfeasible.
    - The autopsy confirmed mechanical asphyxia by third parties, but the charge was reduced from aggravated femicide to reckless homicide by omission.
    - Doctor Edgar Velázquez Orellana stated on television supporting the suicide thesis, but he confessed to Keila's sister that he had "much more to say" without ever revealing that information.
    - Harold Rolando Perdomo Sarmiento was sentenced to 5 years in prison on February 15, 2024, and released on February 28 of the same year, with no public records of re-entry to prison.

    The tattoo that identified Daniela in Mexico: The murder of Daniela Patiño Inestrosa

    A young Colombian boarded a flight to Madrid on August 16, 2019, and disappeared. Four days later, her parents received a Facebook message with a photo of a tattoo: "ineffable." It was the only trace left on Daniela's body, naked and decomposed on a street in Playa del Carmen.

    In this episode, we explore how a job offer on social media ended in a transnational trafficking network that operated between Guatemala, Mexico, and Colombia. We analyze the threatening messages from the alleged killer, the capture and release without charges of a member of the Gulf Cartel, and the dismantling of the network four years later in Guatemala, without the homicide being truly resolved.

    Victim: Daniela Patiño Inestrosa
    Date: September 10, 2019
    Location: Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico; network originating in Guatemala
    Status: Unsolved homicide; network dismantled in 2023

    - The flight ticket lasted only 6 hours, not 9 as a Madrid-Colombia trip promises, revealing the false destination from the start
    - Daniela sent her exact location from an address in Guatemala before disappearing, as proof to her parents that she was in danger
    - Jonathan "El Pantera," a member of the Gulf Cartel, was captured with threatening messages to Daniela on his phone and later released due to lack of evidence
    - The body was identified solely by the "ineffable" tattoo on her forearm after being in advanced decomposition without documents or clothing

  • Four reports, 35 stab wounds: the femicide that the system ignored

    Four reports, 35 stab wounds: the femicide that the system ignored

    Four reports, 35 stab wounds: the femicide that the system ignored: The murder of Dariela Valdés Rocha

    Dariela filed four reports against Honorio González García. She survived a shooting attack at her workplace. Still, he was the one who killed her on January 15, 2023, with 35 stab wounds. The authorities already knew him. Why was he still free?

    In this episode, we explore how the prosecution suspended his house arrest, arguing "reconciliation," how the police left without checking on her after a kidnapping, and how no neighbor's camera recorded the alleged attacker that Honorio blames. The forensic investigation versus the contradictory versions of the accused. The murder that exposes every institutional failure.

    Victim: Dariela Valdés Rocha
    Date: January 15, 2023
    Location: Mexicali, Baja California
    Status: Pending oral trial; CEDH issued recommendations

    - Dariela was intercepted and assaulted on March 19, 2022; the police arrived but left without speaking to her.
    - Two armed men shot in a Waldo's store on June 2, 2022, injuring two customers and claiming to act on Honorio's orders.
    - Neighboring surveillance cameras did not record any third party entering or leaving during the events of January 15.
    - Honorio was found with blood-stained clothing and a bloody knife at his home; he offered contradictory versions in the early hours.
