    Nineteen Days Underground: The Case of Carla and Jesús
    Apr 25 2026
    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

  • The Psychiatrist of Three Presidents: Perfect Crime Unraveled

    The Psychiatrist of Three Presidents: Perfect Crime Unraveled
    Apr 24 2026
    The Psychiatrist of Three Presidents: Perfect Crime Unraveled: The Homicide of Roxana Vargas

    An earring found in a park, bloodstains cleaned with luminol, and ~100 photographs of sedated naked women. Edmundo Chirinos, rector of the Central University of Venezuela and therapist to presidents, was convicted of murdering his 19-year-old patient. But how did a man with such political power remain unpunished after decades of systematic abuse?

    In this episode, we explore the repeated calls on June 12, the personal blog documenting the toxic relationship, and the impossible tension between Roxana's apparent consent and the psychological manipulation of a predatory doctor. We analyze why the luminol in his office, the DNA in his car, and the failed alibi of "sleep therapy" ultimately broke decades of institutional impunity.

    Victim: Roxana Vargas
    Date: June 12-14, 2008
    Location: Caracas, Miranda, Venezuela
    Status: Sentence partially served; perpetrator deceased 2013

    - The gynecologist confirmed forced friction under sedation in October 2007, but Roxana responded to subsequent calls, creating a narrative of "consent" that concealed systematic manipulation.
    - All phone calls on June 12—the day of her disappearance—came from Chirinos's number; luminol revealed blood cleaned in his office, not anywhere else.
    - Chirinos was found walking unaided in 2012 after claiming total incapacity to achieve house arrest; a simulation suggesting conscious control of the crime.
    - The ~100 sepia-toned photographs of sedated naked women never prompted an investigation into additional victims; only 14 appeared in court, leaving 86+ stories unresolved.

  • The night they buried Sandra under a false name

    The night they buried Sandra under a false name

    The night they buried Sandra under a false name: The homicide of Doris Adriana Niño García

    A body appears 150 kilometers from where she died, buried under a false name by escorts. A television photo and a piece of paper in the pocket unleash the truth: Doris Adriana Niño spent her last hours in the apartment of Diomedes Díaz, the best-selling vallenato idol of Colombia in 1997.

    In this episode, we explore how an initial overdose autopsy turned into mechanical asphyxia, how three men left biological traces on the body, and why the carpet in apartment 501 was replaced that morning. Witnesses contradict each other, urine tests appear altered, and forensic investigation reveals signs of post-mortem sexual violence that the defense tried to conceal from the beginning.

    Victim: Doris Adriana Niño García
    Date: May 14-15, 1997
    Location: Bogotá, Colombia
    Status: Convicted (12 years reduced to parole in 2004)

    - A doorman testified that he saw Doris leave alive from the apartment at 4 a.m. with a bodyguard, but Medicina Legal concluded that she could not move on her own due to the concentration of substances.
    - A second autopsy found mechanical asphyxia, bruises, lacerations, and fluid from three men, contradicting the first which ruled it an overdose.
    - The vehicle that transported the body had altered plates and falsified documents to simulate presence in another city that morning.
    - Diomedes Díaz served only 3 years and 7 months of a 12-year sentence after a reduction due to appeal; his death in 2013 closed any further investigation.

    The former novices who erased Beatriz without a trace

    The ex-novices who erased Beatriz without a trace: The murder of Beatriz Argañaraz

    An apartment painted and fumigated amidst raids. Blood in the pipes, on the walls, in the car. But the body of the missing director never appeared. Two former nun candidates were convicted of murder, but 18 years later they remain on parole and no one knows where they left Beatriz.

    In this episode, we explore the text messages that placed them at the scene, the bruises that betray a brutal fight, and the three-hour gap in their alibis that they never explained. The second raid revealed what they tried to erase: confirmed DNA, but the question that tortures her sister remains unanswered.

    Victim: Beatriz Argañaraz
    Date: July 31, 2006
    Location: San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina
    Status: Aggravated murder, convicted, body missing

    - Messages between cell phones on July 31: "come early, I have a little gift" / "I'm on my way"
    - Beatriz's blood found in the bathroom, bedroom, sink, pipes, and Ford Orion despite the painting and fumigation
    - Bruises on hands consistent with digging detected by a forensic doctor in both suspects
    - CNG fuel load equivalent to the exact distance to El Cadillal and back

    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

    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 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
