Nineteen days underground: the case of Carla and Jesús: The murder of Carla Beyot and Jesús Cañisaire in Bolivia

At 5 a.m. on January 1, 2018, Carla and Jesús sent their last messages from a nightclub in La Paz: they promised to return in two hours. Nineteen days later, their bodies were found in burlap bags 150 meters underground in the Okahira River. The impossible: according to the autopsy, Carla survived at least five days after everyone thought she was dead.

In this episode, we explore the contradictions that undermined the initial investigation: security cameras declared non-functional just four days later, a white taxi captured with five unknown individuals, and the semen of three men found on Carla's body. Why did the police announce asphyxiation as the cause of death before conducting the autopsy? What happened during those five days of silence when life still pulsed?

Victims: Carla Beyot (partner since 2008) and Jesús Cañisaire (engineering graduate)
Date: January 1, 2018
Location: La Paz, Bolivia (Planta Baja nightclub; Okahira River)
Status: Sentenced to 30 years (2019)

- Carla posted a photograph on Facebook at 4 a.m., the last proof of life before total silence
- External cameras captured the couple getting into a taxi with five strangers, contradicting claims of leaving alone
- Jesús's phone was found with its chip in the hands of a third party, activated days later
- Carla died between January 9 and 12 while Jesús passed away between January 1 and 4, indicating that she survived in captivity
