    The Wall That Hid Her: How Torremolinos' Secret Began to Bleed

    A mother's daily calls went unanswered for nine years after a 22-year-old beauty contestant sent a final message from Torremolinos on July 7, 2014. The life behind an attic wall was only revealed after a second woman's death in May 2023-so what was built to hide, and who kept living above it?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from Sibora Gagani's last communication to the accidental discovery that ended the long silence, asking how a seaside town's transience and nine years of official dead ends concealed the truth.

    Person: Sibora Gagani
    Date: July 7, 2014
    Age: 22
    Location: Torremolinos
    Event: Second woman's death in May 2023 led to discovery

    - Sibora sent her last message to family on July 7, 2014.
    - Sibora was 22 years old at the time of her last contact.
    - Elizabeth Shahini, Sibora's mother, called her every morning without exception before the disappearance.

    - A 28-year-old woman named Paula died in a ground-floor apartment on Sanginés in May 2023, an event that led to the discovery behind the attic wall.

    2026/07/14
    She Screamed Ten Times Inside a Police Academy - No One Opened Door

    Her screams echoed down a police academy corridor and every officer on the floor heard them, yet no one opened a door; her phone recorded two hours of audio that ends with her repeating one phrase ten times before silence. How did a criminal defense attorney who fought gender violence walk into a building of law and never come out?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the night she entered the Escuela Superior de Policía to the discovery of her body eleven days later, using the audio recording, camera footage and security logs that shaped the investigation. What do those records reveal about who heard her and who chose not to act?

    Person: María Belén Bernal
    Date: September 10-21, 2022
    Location: Escuela Superior de Policía, Pomasqui; Cerro Casitawa
    Status: Body found; cause of death strangulation, asphyxia, and severe blunt trauma
    Related Person: Germán Fernando Cáceres del Salto

    - Entry log records María Belén entering the academy at just after 1:00 AM on September 11, 2022 with no recorded exit.
    - Her phone captured two hours of audio later recovered when her son unlocked the screen.
    - The audio ends with María Belén repeating one phrase ten times, then silence.
    - Her body was found on September 21, 2022 at Cerro Casitawa wrapped in a blanket.
    - Forensic report confirmed strangulation, asphyxia, and severe blunt trauma to the right side of her head.

    Bones, a Pot on the Stove, and the Missing Head
    2026/07/13
    Bones, a Pot on the Stove, and the Missing Head

    The pot was still on the stove when investigators arrived, and inside were fifty-six bones - out of the body's two hundred and six - with the head and torso never recovered. Neighbors had watched children help carry bags into the woods and a missing man’s social security payments were tied to the woman across the street; what really happened that night, and why were key parts of the body never found?

    In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events from the morning James disappeared through the discoveries that followed, including the neighbor relationships, financial ties, and the odd details that drew investigators in; will those details answer why fifty-six bones were left in a pot and where the missing head and torso went?

    Person: James
    Person: Candy Medina
    Person: Angela Stoll
    Date: April 3, 2013
    Location: Volusia County, Florida

    - 56 bones were recovered from a pot on the stove.
    - James was 180 centimeters tall and weighed over 100 kilograms.
    - James had three tattoos described as "gringo" on his neck, a Metallica skull on his right calf, and "NCC" on his right forearm.
    - James and Candy had been together for 17 years and had two children together; Candy had an additional son from before.
    - Angela Stoll was born April 7, 1972, in Makok, Thailand, and had been married three times.

  • The Night a Girl Trusted a Friend - Whispers from Yara's Last Ride

    The Night a Girl Trusted a Friend - Whispers from Yara's Last Ride
    2026/07/12
    The Night a Girl Trusted a Friend - Whispers from Yara's Last Ride

    The ordinary dusk of a small Argentine city turned lethal: a sixteen-year-old left home with a bicycle and a folder and never returned, her body found five days later with hands and feet bound, semi-buried a few blocks away. How did every protective system - neighbors, police, and protocols - fail so completely that a trail became only a memory?

    In this episode, we lay out the timeline from the evening Sabrina "Yara" Rueda left home on September 23, 2020, to the discovery of her body, documenting the people, decisions, and missed chances that shaped those five days; will the gaps in response explain why she was never saved?

    Person: Sabrina "Yara" Rueda
    Date: September 23-25, 2020
    Location: Palpalá, Jujuy, Argentina
    Cause: Anoxia (strangulation by ligature)
    Perpetrators: Tomás Fernández (16), Raúl Arnaldo "Nano" (40), Esteban Mauricio Abad (owner of red vehicle)

    - Yara left home just before sundown on September 23, 2020, carrying a bicycle and a folder.
    - Her family filed a missing person report the same evening; police initially told them she had probably run off with her boyfriend.
    - Formal acceptance of the missing person case occurred more than 24 hours after her disappearance when the Fiscalía assistant reportedly refused to trigger Alerta Sofía while watching a football match.
    - Forensic examiners established Yara died between September 23 and September 25, 2020, from anoxia due to ligature strangulation, with bruising on her face.
    - Her body was found five days after she disappeared, semi-buried in a vacant lot a few blocks from her house with her national identification card left beside her.

  • She Hid Him in a Freezer for Twelve Years - Why?

    She Hid Him in a Freezer for Twelve Years - Why?
    2026/07/11
    She Hid Him in a Freezer for Twelve Years - Why?

    The ordinary banality of a moving truck, a sealed freezer and a storage unit hid a mummified body for over a decade - a man found taped inside a chest freezer in Somerville matched a 1980s photo and had a fatal gunshot wound to the back of his skull. Why would a woman carry that secret across states, silence her children, and keep the corpse in a freezer until confessing on her deathbed?

    In this episode, we recount the timeline from a 1998 cross-country move to the discovery on November 12, 2004, tracing Geraldine Kelly’s life with John from Somerville to Ventura and back, and we ask: what motive, if any, explains why she kept him frozen and hidden for twelve years?

    Person: Geraldine Kelly
    Person: John Kelly
    Date: November 12, 2004
    Location: Planet Self Storage, Somerville, Massachusetts
    Cause: gunshot wound to the back of the skull

    - The moving truck transported furniture, boxes, and one sealed freezer in late October 1998.
    - The freezer remained unplugged and taped shut in a storage unit for six years before discovery.
    - Geraldine confessed on November 12, 2004, while dying of stage-four breast cancer in a Somerville hospital.
    - Forensic examiners confirmed the mummified body matched a late 1980s photograph and identified three tattoos.
    - A handgun recovered from Geraldine’s apartment fired ammunition matching the bullet recovered from John’s head.

  • The Night She Sent That Photo: Two Falls, One Unanswered Truth

    The Night She Sent That Photo: Two Falls, One Unanswered Truth
    2026/07/10
    The Night She Sent That Photo: Two Falls, One Unanswered Truth

    A bruised face, a cry at 1:10 a.m., and by sunrise both were dead - a twelve-floor fall captured on camera that shows hands but not intent. The unresolved question: did he pull her back in or push her out, and what did she go back for?

    In this episode, we lay out the timeline, the messages, the footage, and the official findings to present the facts surrounding the deaths of Sara Arauco Mendoza and Dagner Joaquín Rojas Talamas, and ask whether the evidence supports homicide, accident, or something else.

    Person: Sara Arauco Mendoza
    Person: Dagner Joaquín Rojas Talamas
    Date: April 27, 2021
    Location: Condominio Santa Cruz, Calle Suárez Arana, Santa Cruz
    Case: Intimate Partner Violence; two falls from twelfth-floor window

    - At 1:10 a.m. Sara sent four messages including "Look what you did to me" and a photograph showing a split nose and swelling.
    - Sara was born May 11, 1996 and planned to marry on her 25th birthday, May 11, 2021.
    - Building camera footage shows Sara hanging from the twelfth-floor window with Dagner above her; footage could not determine intention.
    - First responder Jim Nájera reported Sara fell first and Dagner fell seconds later from the same window; both were pronounced dead at the scene.
    - Forensic director Naira Padilla Morena documented bruising on Sara’s lower right eyelid and thorax and abrasions on Dagner’s chest and back consistent with a pre-fall physical altercation.

    Last Call at 1:00 AM - Who Killed Sharon La Hechicera?

    A leading tecnocumbia star was found unconscious on asphalt at 1:00 AM with a fractured skull, seatbelt marks, and a two-year-old son in the car - yet her partner’s account says a white vehicle sped off. Why did Giovanni López Tello’s car face the wrong direction, and how did surveillance footage and forensics rewrite the last thirty minutes of Sharon’s life?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the call for help at 01:00 on January 4, 2015 through the forensic findings, witness statements, and the discovery of a third vehicle on ECO-911 recordings, asking whether the initial witness account can be trusted.

    Person: Edi Rosario Bermeo Cisneros (Sharon La Hechicera)
    Date: January 4, 2015
    Location: Coastal highway between Monteverde and San Pablo, Santa Elena province
    Age: 40
    Partner: Giovanni López Tello

    - Sharon was found unconscious on the asphalt 300 meters from Giovanni’s car.
    - Sharon’s last recorded words, spoken around 01:00, were “Ayuda. Giovanito.”
    - Sharon died from a fractured skull at the base, internal hemorrhaging, a lacerated lung, a broken left leg, and deep abrasions.
    - Forensic examiners found seatbelt markings indicating she was bracing inside a moving vehicle, not standing outside.
    - Analysis of 38 ECO-911 surveillance recordings identified a third vehicle driven by Luis Correa Dávila that struck Sharon and showed broken windows and altered rims.

    2026/07/08
    He Walked Into a Trap: The Man Buried Alive After a Date

    A man who cared for elderly parents and drove three hours for a single online date was found half-buried, naked and covered in mud; forensic pathologists discovered soil and dust in his nose, mouth and esophagus - proof he was still breathing when buried. How did a dating profile called "Dulce Ángel" become the doorway to murder, and who engineered the trap?

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of events from the Badoo profile to the field outside Pedrola where the body was found, tracing the people, places and evidence that link an online meeting to a staged killing. What patterns emerge that show this was not an isolated crime but a deliberate operation?

    Person: José Antonio Delgado Fresnedo
    Date: September 6, 2019 (date of meeting) and September 27, 2019 (body found)
    Location: Pedrola, Zaragoza (fields outside the town)
    Age: 54
    Profile name: "Dulce Ángel" (Badoo)

    - Forensic exam found soil and dust inside the victim's nose, mouth and esophagus, indicating he was breathing when buried.
    - The body was discovered half-buried in a crop field near Pedrola on September 27, 2019, about 21 days after the meeting.
    - José Antonio drove approximately three hours from Vizcaya to Luceni for the date and left on the evening of September 6, 2019, with a small bag and his phone.
    - The "Dulce Ángel" profile was one of at least three similar accounts ("Daniela Mendoza" and "Bella") created shortly before separate attacks and closed immediately after.
    - Hedangelling Candy Arrieta Landazabal, age 34 in 2019 and originally from Zulia, Venezuela, was identified as the person behind the "Dulce Ángel" profile and had been in Spain under asylum for three months.
