3
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:11,594
That night, I had a nightmare.
4
00:00:15,807 --> 00:00:20,145
I saw her body in a cave, where mendressed in white removed her organs.
5
00:00:24,232 --> 00:00:26,401
I described my dream to one of my sons.
6
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:31,322
"Don't worry, Mommy."
7
00:00:32,323 --> 00:00:34,117
"It was just a nightmare."
8
00:00:36,953 --> 00:00:38,580
But it wasn't.
9
00:00:38,663 --> 00:00:42,667
That very same night, I would discover
10
00:00:44,169 --> 00:00:46,087
it was all too real.
11
00:00:58,224 --> 00:01:04,731
JULY 31, 2015
12
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:12,781
Five people found dead inside apartment!
Read it here first!
13
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:28,088
We turn now to Mexico,
where the last few hours
14
00:01:28,171 --> 00:01:31,883
have been filled with outrage
over the murder of a photojournalist.
15
00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:35,553
Hundreds of peopleacross the country have been protesting
16
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:39,349
to demand justice for their colleagueand the four women murdered alongside him.
17
00:01:40,391 --> 00:01:42,602
Nadia, as well as Rubén,
18
00:01:42,685 --> 00:01:45,772
had accused the governor of Veracruzas the author of threats against them.
19
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:49,234
Rubén Espinosa Becerrilhad gone public
20
00:01:49,317 --> 00:01:51,736
about being a target of political threats,
21
00:01:52,487 --> 00:01:55,698
so he moved out of the State of Veracruzto Mexico City.
22
00:01:58,576 --> 00:02:01,663
When we got the message
that it had happened in Mexico City,
23
00:02:02,163 --> 00:02:03,706
in a neighborhood like Narvarte,
24
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:07,919
in broad daylight,
against two politically displaced people,
25
00:02:08,002 --> 00:02:10,755
as well as against three other women,
26
00:02:11,923 --> 00:02:15,135
it was very disturbing
and caused not fear but terror.
27
00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:17,679
STATE-SANCTIONED MURDER
28
00:02:17,762 --> 00:02:20,181
Other victims includea woman of Colombian origin,
29
00:02:20,265 --> 00:02:22,517
a beauty school student,and a domestic worker.
30
00:02:23,726 --> 00:02:25,353
They're focusing more on saying,
31
00:02:25,937 --> 00:02:29,357
"The girls did bad things,"
and, "The girls are to blame."
32
00:02:33,403 --> 00:02:37,448
They used kitchen knives,cables, tape, firearms,
33
00:02:37,532 --> 00:02:39,701
and shot the victimsin the back of the head.
34
00:02:42,036 --> 00:02:43,955
Each one of the victims sustained
35
00:02:44,038 --> 00:02:49,961
a head wound caused by gunshots
from a nine-millimeter caliber firearm.
36
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:55,758
Authorities have claimedrobbery as a motive
37
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:57,594
for the killings to the press.
38
00:02:58,344 --> 00:03:01,639
Although they were not ableto elaborate on what was allegedly stolen
39
00:03:01,723 --> 00:03:03,141
from the apartment.
40
00:03:03,224 --> 00:03:06,269
We still don't have information
on what was stolen.
41
00:03:07,562 --> 00:03:09,689
And I will ask the authorities
what they're afraid of
42
00:03:09,772 --> 00:03:11,357
and who they're covering for.
43
00:03:13,484 --> 00:03:17,572
Since we no longer trust the authorities,
we'll investigate what happened ourselves.
44
00:03:20,158 --> 00:03:23,953
They say it was all a coincidence
that they were all there together.
45
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:26,915
But is it really a coincidence
or the perfect crime?
46
00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:36,174
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT: THE NARVARTE CASE
47
00:03:48,478 --> 00:03:52,398
She could always sense things.
Always.
48
00:03:53,441 --> 00:03:57,487
The last time we went to Acapulco,
she seemed sad, depressed.
49
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:04,953
Like in this photo, she wanted to smile,
but her eyes, they look swollen and sad.
50
00:04:15,797 --> 00:04:19,968
After a few drinks,
they were all chatting, and my mom said,
51
00:04:20,718 --> 00:04:25,181
"I'm not going to live past 40,
and I'll be broadcast on TV."
52
00:04:30,144 --> 00:04:35,066
The third victim was a domestic worker
originally from the State of Mexico.
53
00:04:35,316 --> 00:04:37,443
NAUCALPAN, STATE OF MEXICO
54
00:04:37,527 --> 00:04:40,738
From the beginning,
the press would set my mom aside,
55
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:44,158
always referring to her
as "the domestic worker."
56
00:04:44,242 --> 00:04:46,995
They never even said her name, Alejandra.
57
00:04:56,379 --> 00:05:00,133
I honestly don't know who referred my mom
to the apartment building.
58
00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:05,305
All she said was, "I have a cleaning job
in Narvarte tomorrow."
59
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:06,848
"Take care of Arly."
60
00:05:12,061 --> 00:05:14,439
I remember that morning, she woke me up,
61
00:05:14,522 --> 00:05:17,859
gave me a kiss and said,
"God bless you." And she left.
62
00:05:28,077 --> 00:05:31,831
7-31-2015
63
00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:39,130
I tried calling her,
and it did ring at first,
64
00:05:39,213 --> 00:05:40,465
but then it stopped.
65
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:45,261
I called her at 3:00 p.m.
66
00:05:47,263 --> 00:05:48,681
According to the records,
67
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:51,017
that's the exact time
they were all killed.
68
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:07,617
I called her
at the same time they were being murdered.
69
00:06:13,456 --> 00:06:17,460
I need to know what happened to my mom.
She was just working.
70
00:06:18,211 --> 00:06:20,213
She wasn't doing anything else.
71
00:06:20,296 --> 00:06:23,508
YOUR MEMORY IS LIFE
#JU5TICE
72
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:44,362
Congratulations!Lex told me you just had a nose job.
73
00:06:44,445 --> 00:06:47,657
Now you can finally be a hot bitch,just like us!
74
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:50,618
That was Yesenia's voice.
75
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,621
And sometimes…
76
00:06:56,707 --> 00:06:58,584
I listen to her voicemails…
77
00:07:01,754 --> 00:07:04,715
…because I'm afraid I'll forget
what her voice sounds like,
78
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:06,008
her laughter,
79
00:07:07,176 --> 00:07:08,803
her bad language.
80
00:07:09,554 --> 00:07:11,931
#FRIENDS #LOVEYOU
81
00:07:24,152 --> 00:07:25,695
And holding her phone…
82
00:07:29,073 --> 00:07:31,200
is like touching her because…
83
00:07:33,411 --> 00:07:35,413
she'd always do this
84
00:07:36,622 --> 00:07:38,082
when she was texting.
85
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:42,753
This is the last phone I saw her with.
86
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:53,306
She was invited to Mexico,
87
00:07:53,389 --> 00:07:56,184
and I told her Mexico City
is very dangerous
88
00:07:57,143 --> 00:07:59,061
and asked how she could go there alone.
89
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,857
But if I told her no, she'd go anyways.
90
00:08:03,524 --> 00:08:05,109
I just wanted to stay in touch.
91
00:08:11,699 --> 00:08:13,910
Then she sent me
the address in Narvarte.
92
00:08:20,416 --> 00:08:22,793
She said it was the safest place
for her to be.
93
00:08:26,964 --> 00:08:30,426
She said it was quieter,
and she didn't feel unsafe there.
94
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:37,558
She looked happy.
With no issues whatsoever.
95
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:41,979
Yesenia was 18 years old.
96
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:49,570
And this is the only picture
of them together, Mile and Yesenia.
97
00:08:53,241 --> 00:08:55,910
Mile lived in that apartment
for a short time.
98
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:02,041
Yesenia hadn't known her long.
99
00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:09,423
Mile was a beautiful woman,
older than Yesenia.
100
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:15,012
So I imagine Mile was
what she wanted to be in the future.
101
00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:23,771
On the day of the murders,the perpetrators used a red Mustang
102
00:09:23,854 --> 00:09:26,816
belonging to the Colombian,Mile Virginia Martín.
103
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:30,861
However, everyone in the apartmentknew her as "Nicole"
104
00:09:30,945 --> 00:09:32,989
and was unawareof what she did for a living.
105
00:09:58,222 --> 00:09:59,765
-There you go.
-Thanks.
106
00:09:59,849 --> 00:10:00,891
You got it.
107
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:04,312
Fifteen days before she died,
108
00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:09,483
I was working at La Virgen
in Patio Bonito, selling sweets.
109
00:10:09,567 --> 00:10:12,445
It was a gray morning. It was raining.
110
00:10:13,821 --> 00:10:15,531
The last day I talked to her,
111
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:18,576
she told me she was gonna get me
out of selling sweets.
112
00:10:18,659 --> 00:10:23,456
As she spoke to me, I could see the pain
she felt from seeing me selling that.
113
00:10:23,539 --> 00:10:27,376
I told her not to worry about it
because I loved my job.
114
00:10:28,252 --> 00:10:30,546
That was the last time
I had a heart-to-heart with her,
115
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,923
and it was all because of my candy.
116
00:10:34,258 --> 00:10:36,260
That was the last time I talked to her.
117
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:42,183
"Mile."
118
00:10:42,266 --> 00:10:43,768
"My angel."
119
00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:46,520
"I miss you so much."
120
00:10:47,813 --> 00:10:51,192
"It's been more than six years
with no justice and without knowing
121
00:10:51,275 --> 00:10:55,237
exactly what happened on July 31, 2015."
122
00:10:56,947 --> 00:11:01,118
"The day your life was taken away
and your wings were savagely clipped."
123
00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:04,455
"There are no words and no actions
124
00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:06,624
that can justify those criminals
125
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:09,293
who shut your eyes forever."
126
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:36,987
"I want the world to know
how proud we are of you."
127
00:11:38,155 --> 00:11:41,534
"You were a wonderful sister
and a strong warrior."
128
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:44,954
My sister lived here
until she was 12.
129
00:11:45,746 --> 00:11:48,666
Ever since then,
she never came back here again.
130
00:11:52,002 --> 00:11:53,879
She said goodbye to us.
131
00:11:55,339 --> 00:11:58,509
She said she had
some sort of a modeling contract.
132
00:11:58,592 --> 00:12:00,052
Good morning, everybody.
133
00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:04,682
When we talked to her,
she sounded very positive
134
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:09,729
"I'm living in a nice place
in a good neighborhood."
135
00:12:09,812 --> 00:12:12,064
"I already bought a new car."
136
00:12:14,608 --> 00:12:18,904
One of the perpetrators fledin a car belonging to the Colombian.
137
00:12:21,282 --> 00:12:24,034
BEING COLOMBIAN IS NOT A CRIME
#JU5TICE
138
00:12:24,827 --> 00:12:27,621
In many places,
Colombians are labeled
139
00:12:27,705 --> 00:12:29,582
and blamed for certain things.
140
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:32,168
She was used by the perpetrator
141
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:35,379
to divert attention
away from who actually did it.
142
00:12:36,338 --> 00:12:39,425
"She's Colombian.
She's just a drug dealer."
143
00:12:40,217 --> 00:12:44,555
They've always used these things
against Colombians to make us look bad
144
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:47,224
and treat us as criminals.
145
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:52,521
They tried to do that with my sister,
and it's just not right.
146
00:12:54,982 --> 00:12:57,568
We think it had something to do
with the journalists.
147
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:06,577
On Monday, family and friendslaid the slain Mexican journalist to rest.
148
00:13:07,578 --> 00:13:10,915
He had sought protection from threatsmade in the State of Veracruz.
149
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:22,301
Rubén, brother,
150
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:27,056
I dared to show up today because I know
that's what you would have wanted.
151
00:13:28,098 --> 00:13:30,810
You fought for all of us
and left as a warrior.
152
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:41,570
When I found out
he was already here in Mexico City,
153
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:42,988
I asked him what was wrong
154
00:13:43,072 --> 00:13:45,866
because normally, he would let us know
that he was coming to the city,
155
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:47,827
but this time, he didn't.
156
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,121
He said that things in Xalapa were tough
157
00:13:51,205 --> 00:13:53,791
and he didn't know
how long he was gonna stay here.
158
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:59,004
He asked me not to tell our mother,
and he had interviews to attend to, but…
159
00:14:00,756 --> 00:14:03,092
Things are tough in Veracruz,
as we all know.
160
00:14:03,968 --> 00:14:07,137
Especially if you criticize
Javier Duarte's bad government.
161
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:10,474
I fled because I was being intimidated.
162
00:14:11,475 --> 00:14:13,143
Something was wrong in Xalapa.
163
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:16,856
I knew it wasn't the calmest,
safest place to be,
164
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:21,360
but I could never imagine the magnitude
of what Rubén was going through.
165
00:14:24,113 --> 00:14:26,615
I met Rubén in Veracruz. In Xalapa.
166
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:33,914
This was in 2009.
167
00:14:33,998 --> 00:14:35,332
PHOTOJOURNALIST
168
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:37,543
He had moved there
to look for a job opportunity…
169
00:14:40,796 --> 00:14:43,299
…and found one
covering the Duarte campaign,
170
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:45,551
back when he was running for governor.
171
00:14:46,176 --> 00:14:48,679
He was a photographer
covering his whole campaign.
172
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:03,027
One, two, three,
173
00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:06,280
four, five, six,
174
00:15:06,363 --> 00:15:08,866
seven, eight, nine…
175
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:11,160
Action!
176
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:18,292
A close friend of mine
who owned a digital media outlet
177
00:15:20,002 --> 00:15:25,549
told me he found a photojournalist
who could cover my campaign.
178
00:15:28,802 --> 00:15:32,014
And Rubén was essentially
part of that press staff.
179
00:15:39,813 --> 00:15:43,150
Rubén made his voice heard.
He was a rebel.
180
00:15:45,653 --> 00:15:50,032
He didn't take things lying down,
and they didn't appreciate that at all.
181
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:53,994
They didn't want to deal with him,
so they hounded him
182
00:15:54,078 --> 00:15:55,746
until he was out of a job.
183
00:15:59,708 --> 00:16:02,795
So Rubén began knocking
on doors of other news outlets,
184
00:16:02,878 --> 00:16:04,797
and that's when he had his awakening.
185
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,258
LAND AND LIBERTY
186
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:21,897
This hall was Rubén Espinosa's office
for about four years.
187
00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:24,608
Rubén always sat here.
188
00:16:29,530 --> 00:16:34,660
The first of December 2010,
I swore in as the constitutional governor
189
00:16:36,787 --> 00:16:40,749
of the Free and Sovereign State
of Veracruz of Ignacio de la Llave.
190
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:44,670
I swear to perform my duties as governor,
191
00:16:44,753 --> 00:16:48,841
which the people have bestowed upon me,
with loyalty and patriotism.
192
00:16:53,887 --> 00:16:57,307
Back then, I was a young, 36-year-old man.
193
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:01,020
That's when the hell of Duarte began.
194
00:17:01,103 --> 00:17:05,107
But let's not forget that the hell
of Bermúdez Zurita also began.
195
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:10,320
As the person overseeing
Veracruz's Department of Public Safety,
196
00:17:10,404 --> 00:17:13,032
I appoint Arturo Bermúdez Zurita.
197
00:17:14,658 --> 00:17:17,661
"Captain Storm" was his nickname
inside the organization.
198
00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:20,080
A dark character.
199
00:17:20,164 --> 00:17:23,709
Machiavellian, narcissistic, arrogant.
200
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:25,669
Authoritarian.
201
00:17:26,962 --> 00:17:29,631
The truth is that Arturo gained my trust.
202
00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:32,551
And not only my trust but my affection.
203
00:17:34,094 --> 00:17:37,222
You will be
the emissaries of the work we are doing.
204
00:17:37,306 --> 00:17:42,186
Our society, which we serve,
will trust our state police once again.
205
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,360
Rubén had a photo and document catalog
and files of missing persons.
206
00:17:50,444 --> 00:17:51,904
MISSING
207
00:17:51,987 --> 00:17:53,781
Of teachers' protests.
208
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:58,368
Of unfinished public work. Everything.
209
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:03,040
But he chose that photograph.
210
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:07,252
PROCESO
VERACRUZ, STATE WITHOUT LAW
211
00:18:07,336 --> 00:18:11,381
Neither him nor I thought
it'd make that front cover.
212
00:18:11,965 --> 00:18:13,717
My little governor's hat.
213
00:18:15,385 --> 00:18:16,595
Good picture.
214
00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:20,265
I really like it.
215
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:23,185
I have it framed.
216
00:18:24,228 --> 00:18:26,063
-Oh, really? Where?
-Yeah.
217
00:18:26,563 --> 00:18:29,399
Well, it's somewhere.
218
00:18:29,483 --> 00:18:30,818
I don't know where.
219
00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:37,324
Day after day,
we live with nonexistent justice.
220
00:18:38,992 --> 00:18:41,328
There's no real justice in this state.
221
00:18:41,829 --> 00:18:43,956
The state institutions don't exist.
222
00:18:49,837 --> 00:18:54,049
What prevails in this state is corruption.
What prevails is fear.
223
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:56,260
What prevails is deceit.
224
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,059
Take off your armor
and come here, motherfuckers!
225
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:05,394
We're workers!
226
00:19:20,075 --> 00:19:21,910
My name is Nadia Vera.
227
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:26,290
We will hold Javier Duarte de Ochoa,
state governor, and his whole cabinet
228
00:19:26,373 --> 00:19:30,169
entirely accountable for what could happen
to those of us involved
229
00:19:30,252 --> 00:19:32,337
in organized movements,
230
00:19:33,505 --> 00:19:38,051
whether they be student, academic,
or civil society as a whole.
231
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:46,310
We've seen an increase in the number
of disappearances since 2010
232
00:19:46,393 --> 00:19:47,978
when Duarte took office.
233
00:19:48,061 --> 00:19:51,857
Three state police officers took them,
and we haven't heard from them since.
234
00:19:52,983 --> 00:19:58,030
We are here representing
all the mothers who have lost a loved one.
235
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:01,366
Government officials, do your job!
236
00:20:02,659 --> 00:20:04,369
We need to do something.
237
00:20:04,453 --> 00:20:08,457
We can't have children living here,
expecting to be kidnapped.
238
00:20:19,676 --> 00:20:21,720
This is her at a demonstration.
239
00:20:21,803 --> 00:20:25,224
She's right up front. She organized it.
240
00:20:25,307 --> 00:20:29,895
-They took them alive!
-We want them alive!
241
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:34,441
I THINK… THEREFORE,
THEY MAKE ME DISAPPEAR!
242
00:20:34,524 --> 00:20:36,860
When violence starts to unfold,
243
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:41,865
I worry that we turn into
exactly what they want us to be.
244
00:20:42,366 --> 00:20:45,661
Don't forget all of our comrades
who've been killed for telling the truth!
245
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:47,996
This is why we're forced
to wear hoods outside.
246
00:20:49,456 --> 00:20:52,668
This is an object
from the Zapatista protest.
247
00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:56,338
Since she's from Chiapas,
she bought this ski mask
248
00:20:56,421 --> 00:20:59,007
and wore it
in the Veracruz demonstrations.
249
00:21:00,884 --> 00:21:02,386
You're sold like merchandise.
250
00:21:02,469 --> 00:21:04,805
Women are sold into sex trafficking.
251
00:21:04,888 --> 00:21:07,641
Young people are taken
to become cartel members.
252
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,812
"Arm yourself and be violentBeautifully violent"
253
00:21:11,895 --> 00:21:13,647
"Until everything bursts"
254
00:21:17,734 --> 00:21:20,612
Disappearances are occurring
on a daily basis.
255
00:21:20,696 --> 00:21:22,948
Murders, kidnapping, violence…
256
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:31,164
We rented a room in a hotel
right in front of the main plaza.
257
00:21:31,873 --> 00:21:34,543
Then we put out a large poster that said…
258
00:21:35,711 --> 00:21:36,628
It said…
259
00:21:37,838 --> 00:21:39,798
"Duarte, we're watching you."
260
00:21:39,881 --> 00:21:41,883
"The people don't forgive you."
261
00:21:43,719 --> 00:21:46,096
We tied it up, put it out, and ran.
262
00:21:46,638 --> 00:21:47,889
We were caught by the police
263
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:50,684
as well as undercover agents
known as "the Ears."
264
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,355
They threatened to kill us
and told us we were being detained
265
00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:57,524
without any prior records.
266
00:21:59,276 --> 00:22:02,362
-No press, no cameras, nothing.
-No press, no cameras, nothing at all.
267
00:22:02,446 --> 00:22:06,658
They were ready to really hurt us
until our savior, Rubén…
268
00:22:09,786 --> 00:22:13,623
appeared with his giant camera
and started capturing everything.
269
00:22:15,792 --> 00:22:18,086
Clack! Tack! Tack! Tack Tack Tack!
270
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:20,213
"I'm with the press.
Where are you taking them?"
271
00:22:23,925 --> 00:22:27,971
Nadia grabbed him and said,
"You, come here and take pictures, quick!"
272
00:22:28,055 --> 00:22:29,014
"They're taking them!"
273
00:22:32,309 --> 00:22:35,062
She was very excited when she met him.
274
00:22:35,145 --> 00:22:39,066
She said, "I just met this photographer
who works at Proceso Magazine."
275
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:46,907
We just wanted to demonstrate peacefully,
but they shoved us and forced us to react.
276
00:22:48,575 --> 00:22:51,661
I found a photographer
and asked him to take pictures.
277
00:22:52,537 --> 00:22:56,041
And thanks to him
and his camera taking those pictures,
278
00:22:58,168 --> 00:23:01,004
they stopped beating peaceful protesters.
279
00:23:03,173 --> 00:23:06,343
There were also photos published
of Nadia's arrest.
280
00:23:11,014 --> 00:23:13,600
I was detained
by undercover police officers
281
00:23:13,683 --> 00:23:15,519
dressed in civilian clothing.
282
00:23:15,602 --> 00:23:18,230
They beat me
and took me away in a patrol car.
283
00:23:23,151 --> 00:23:27,280
They were ordered to round us up
and identify us to know who was involved.
284
00:23:32,953 --> 00:23:36,289
In the end,
it was still a forced disappearance.
285
00:23:36,373 --> 00:23:37,499
They didn't arrest me,
286
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:41,336
but they did arrest two other women
from our group in the San José quarters,
287
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:43,713
where they were stripped of their clothing
288
00:23:43,797 --> 00:23:47,759
and forced to do squats, up and down,
while the officers watched.
289
00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:51,179
There's so much humiliation of women
290
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:55,225
all because women
are seen as the spoils of war,
291
00:23:55,308 --> 00:23:56,435
and are treated as such.
292
00:24:04,526 --> 00:24:07,529
I continued taking pictures
until a Veracruz government employee
293
00:24:07,612 --> 00:24:08,572
approached me.
294
00:24:09,281 --> 00:24:12,242
He grabbed me by the neck
and told me to stop taking pictures.
295
00:24:12,325 --> 00:24:15,662
And if I didn't, I'd end up
like my friend Regina Martínez.
296
00:24:15,745 --> 00:24:16,913
7-7-1963 4-28-2012
297
00:24:20,584 --> 00:24:23,712
The first red flag
was the murder of Regina Martínez.
298
00:24:26,756 --> 00:24:29,009
Rubén called me
and said we should get together soon
299
00:24:29,092 --> 00:24:31,803
because, by the look of things,
any one of us could've been next.
300
00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:33,388
JUSTICE FOR REGINA MARTÍNEZ
301
00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:34,890
Murderers!
302
00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:36,683
DEFENDING YOUR MEMORY
303
00:24:36,766 --> 00:24:38,602
JUSTICE FOR REGINA MARTÍNEZ
304
00:24:42,272 --> 00:24:45,233
Honestly, us journalists
aren't used to demonstrations.
305
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:46,735
It shouldn't be normal for us.
306
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,490
Javier Duarte will be remembered
by our collective memory
307
00:24:51,573 --> 00:24:55,577
for the administration in which
the most journalists have been murdered.
308
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:59,414
During his term,
17 journalists were murdered.
309
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:01,500
Miguel Ángel López.
310
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:02,542
Justice!
311
00:25:02,626 --> 00:25:04,544
Misael López Solana.
312
00:25:04,628 --> 00:25:05,962
Justice!
313
00:25:06,922 --> 00:25:09,758
Duarte's government
was heavily complicit,
314
00:25:11,134 --> 00:25:13,637
with instructions coming
from inside the government
315
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,556
to murder journalists
or make them disappear.
316
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,891
Regina Martínez.
317
00:25:17,974 --> 00:25:18,934
Justice!
318
00:25:19,017 --> 00:25:20,769
-Guillermo Luna.
-Justice!
319
00:25:20,852 --> 00:25:22,270
JUSTICE FOR GOYO
320
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:24,689
This is what Rubén was protesting.
321
00:25:26,775 --> 00:25:30,403
And it ultimately led him
to be targeted by Bermúdez Zurita.
322
00:25:31,112 --> 00:25:32,322
Yolanda Ordaz.
323
00:25:32,405 --> 00:25:33,406
Justice!
324
00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:35,075
Gabriel Huge Córdova.
325
00:25:35,158 --> 00:25:36,159
Justice!
326
00:25:36,243 --> 00:25:37,452
Esteban Rodríguez.
327
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:38,703
Justice!
328
00:25:39,204 --> 00:25:40,664
Víctor Manuel Báez Chino.
329
00:25:40,747 --> 00:25:42,165
Justice!
330
00:25:42,249 --> 00:25:43,291
Gregorio Jiménez.
331
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:44,584
Justice!
332
00:25:45,085 --> 00:25:47,879
Respectfully, we would like to address
333
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:49,589
our friends from the press
334
00:25:50,257 --> 00:25:51,925
and would like to make it known…
335
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:56,137
DO YOUR JOBS
#WEWANTHIMALIVE
336
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:59,516
We are living
in a state of absolute violence,
337
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:03,520
where the real danger comes
from simply being a young person.
338
00:26:06,982 --> 00:26:09,359
Nadia lived in this apartment building.
339
00:26:11,695 --> 00:26:14,823
Here, we're the problem
and an inconvenience,
340
00:26:14,906 --> 00:26:18,243
both to the government
and the… and the cartel.
341
00:26:19,995 --> 00:26:22,122
This is where they broke into her home.
342
00:26:26,835 --> 00:26:28,420
FIGHT
RESIST
343
00:26:28,503 --> 00:26:29,879
She was very messy.
344
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:32,966
Her stuff was always lying
all over the place.
345
00:26:33,049 --> 00:26:35,552
But the fact that her cables
had been properly rolled up
346
00:26:35,635 --> 00:26:37,679
was what made her realize
someone had been there.
347
00:26:39,848 --> 00:26:42,058
They cleaned absolutely everything.
348
00:26:42,142 --> 00:26:44,728
They cleaned her bathroom,
folded her clothes,
349
00:26:44,811 --> 00:26:46,771
organized her personal things.
350
00:26:46,855 --> 00:26:48,356
They left everything neat.
351
00:26:49,899 --> 00:26:51,484
Completely spotless.
352
00:26:53,528 --> 00:26:55,697
She noticed
the shower floor was wet.
353
00:26:56,906 --> 00:26:58,992
Someone took a shower in her bathroom.
354
00:26:59,868 --> 00:27:01,828
They were saying, "We know who you are."
355
00:27:01,911 --> 00:27:03,413
"We know where you live."
356
00:27:04,664 --> 00:27:05,874
"We can."
357
00:27:08,335 --> 00:27:11,963
After that, she thought,
"I really don't want this."
358
00:27:12,047 --> 00:27:13,965
"I don't want to be afraid anymore."
359
00:27:14,466 --> 00:27:16,801
"I can't go home by myself anymore."
360
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:19,095
"So I'm leaving this place."
361
00:27:19,804 --> 00:27:21,681
"I can't be here anymore."
362
00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:29,022
And she left because she wanted to.
363
00:27:29,105 --> 00:27:31,983
Because everyone has
the right to a life of peace.
364
00:27:32,567 --> 00:27:33,985
To enjoy what they want.
365
00:27:34,069 --> 00:27:36,696
To relax and ride a bike, if they want.
366
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:39,908
So she went to Mexico City.
367
00:27:53,963 --> 00:27:57,676
FIGHT
RESIST
368
00:28:08,269 --> 00:28:10,355
When my daughter came home…
369
00:28:13,149 --> 00:28:16,361
we took a long walk
to the Lakes of Montebello.
370
00:28:22,909 --> 00:28:28,123
That was our last trip together
as a family.
371
00:28:31,626 --> 00:28:34,045
Since that day, I couldn't come here.
372
00:28:38,049 --> 00:28:42,011
It reminded me too much of her,
and I needed time to heal.
373
00:28:42,095 --> 00:28:44,180
I PLANT YOUR HEART
IN THIS NOTEBOOK…
374
00:28:45,348 --> 00:28:48,852
I needed to make
some sort of ritual to bring me back.
375
00:28:53,022 --> 00:28:56,151
To speak with her through the water,
376
00:28:57,527 --> 00:28:59,070
through the forest,
377
00:28:59,154 --> 00:29:01,197
and put our minds at ease.
378
00:29:16,713 --> 00:29:21,301
Your departure from Veracruz, Rubén,
what conditions led to that decision?
379
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:24,429
I fled because I was being intimidated.
380
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:28,308
The attack on the students
had just happened,
381
00:29:28,391 --> 00:29:30,310
where they were beaten with machetes.
382
00:29:35,273 --> 00:29:37,734
Obviously, we did not support
Duarte's regime.
383
00:29:39,068 --> 00:29:43,198
The demonstrations were
becoming more and more intense.
384
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:45,533
As a consequence,
385
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:49,287
the state increased
its repressive activities…
386
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:52,832
and began spying on people
387
00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:56,085
They broke into people's houses.
388
00:30:00,048 --> 00:30:02,634
The attack happened
at night, around one o'clock.
389
00:30:04,761 --> 00:30:06,179
I saw the police lights.
390
00:30:07,764 --> 00:30:09,265
Just eight people?
391
00:30:09,349 --> 00:30:11,559
I went inside to check on my friends.
392
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:14,270
Almost all of them were in shock.
393
00:30:14,938 --> 00:30:18,274
Take a look at the boys, please?
They're very badly injured.
394
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:21,236
-Yeah, of course.
-Hey there.
395
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,364
Just relax and lay down.
396
00:30:27,534 --> 00:30:31,788
Rubén arrived asking questions,
but he wasn't looking for a news story.
397
00:30:31,871 --> 00:30:35,250
More like, "Who did this?
Is everyone okay? What happened here?"
398
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:41,339
He wasn't doing it for work.
They were his friends.
399
00:30:43,383 --> 00:30:44,759
We were his friends.
400
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:47,679
Don't you have any family?
401
00:30:50,473 --> 00:30:53,184
This attack was carried out
by a group of ten men,
402
00:30:53,268 --> 00:30:55,103
armed with high-caliber weapons,
403
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:57,313
machetes, bats, and sticks.
404
00:30:59,148 --> 00:31:01,651
They beat and stabbed
the young men with machetes
405
00:31:01,734 --> 00:31:04,028
as they were celebrating a birthday.
406
00:31:05,196 --> 00:31:08,074
We place full blame
on Governor Javier Duarte de Ochoa
407
00:31:08,157 --> 00:31:11,911
and Secretary of Public Safety
Arturo Bermúdez Zurita.
408
00:31:12,579 --> 00:31:16,040
Young men were beaten,
according to official reports.
409
00:31:16,124 --> 00:31:20,336
-They said they didn't receive assistance.
-Uh, no. The situation didn't call for it.
410
00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:23,089
Because this isn't
the first time this has happened.
411
00:31:23,172 --> 00:31:26,926
In Coatzacoalcos, there are also reports
of young people disappearing.
412
00:31:27,427 --> 00:31:30,638
And there seems to be connections
between police activity and--
413
00:31:30,722 --> 00:31:32,765
Well, it's very easy to point fingers.
414
00:31:32,849 --> 00:31:35,685
What I can tell you is
that we're doing our work properly.
415
00:31:35,768 --> 00:31:37,979
The Attorney's Office
is still investigating.
416
00:31:38,062 --> 00:31:40,690
The young men said they were cooking food
for poor children.
417
00:31:40,773 --> 00:31:42,984
Their neighbors said
they were partying very loudly.
418
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:44,944
I'm not in a position
to say anything for sure,
419
00:31:45,028 --> 00:31:47,864
but I can tell you we strongly deny
that the Department of Public Safety
420
00:31:47,947 --> 00:31:49,699
took any part in the incident.
421
00:31:53,661 --> 00:31:56,998
I mean,
we were reading them loud and clear.
422
00:31:57,081 --> 00:31:59,751
They were totally prepared to terminate,
423
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:04,589
kill, assassinate the few they had
in their sights.
424
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,635
They already knew where I lived.
They had my phone number.
425
00:32:08,718 --> 00:32:12,013
They knew who I talked to,
who I dated, where I worked.
426
00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:15,767
Rubén started being followed home
by officers dressed in civilian clothing.
427
00:32:16,893 --> 00:32:19,145
In the morning,
there was someone staring at me.
428
00:32:19,228 --> 00:32:22,523
I didn't think much of it,
so I went to work as I normally do.
429
00:32:23,024 --> 00:32:25,109
When I stepped outside, I saw three men
430
00:32:25,193 --> 00:32:28,154
standing at the corner of my house
next to a running taxi.
431
00:32:29,405 --> 00:32:31,824
When I looked up,
I noticed one of them took a picture of me
432
00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:34,369
and signals to me saying,
like, "What's up?"
433
00:32:34,452 --> 00:32:36,621
Rubén called me
and said, "I need to see you."
434
00:32:36,704 --> 00:32:38,081
"Sure, let's meet tonight."
435
00:32:38,164 --> 00:32:39,582
"No, right now."
436
00:32:39,666 --> 00:32:42,168
"Oh wow," I thought.
"What could be so important?"
437
00:32:43,044 --> 00:32:44,879
As I walked past them, they approached me
438
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:49,092
and pushed me
with their bodies… blocking my path.
439
00:32:50,093 --> 00:32:52,845
-They wanted you to know they were there?
-That he was there.
440
00:32:52,929 --> 00:32:55,431
-And it was you they were after?
-Yeah, that's it.
441
00:32:56,933 --> 00:32:58,434
And while they were targeting us,
442
00:33:00,103 --> 00:33:03,523
the pressure starts to burst,
starting with Rubén.
443
00:33:04,315 --> 00:33:06,192
In this current state of things,
444
00:33:06,776 --> 00:33:09,737
we can't take aggression
or intimidation lightly.
445
00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:13,157
Because we never know
how it could escalate.
446
00:33:22,208 --> 00:33:25,336
MEXICO CITY
447
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:31,384
I was riding the subway,
right at Tacubaya station.
448
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:38,349
When all of a sudden,
I see Rubén walking right in front of me,
449
00:33:38,433 --> 00:33:39,892
going the opposite way.
450
00:33:39,976 --> 00:33:41,644
And I said, "Holy shit, that's Rubén!"
451
00:33:42,895 --> 00:33:45,231
As soon as I got off the subway,
I called him and asked,
452
00:33:45,314 --> 00:33:47,817
"What are you doing here?"
I was complaining to him.
453
00:33:48,735 --> 00:33:50,361
But then he told me everything.
454
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:54,240
He told me about the threats
and how he was feeling scared.
455
00:33:56,284 --> 00:34:02,790
It's been difficult for me, mentally,
emotionally, and even economically.
456
00:34:06,544 --> 00:34:08,921
Enough with the martyrs and heroes.
457
00:34:10,673 --> 00:34:12,550
You have to be human enough to understand
458
00:34:12,633 --> 00:34:15,053
that there are things
you can't fix overnight.
459
00:34:16,763 --> 00:34:19,140
And we're much more useful
alive than dead.
460
00:34:30,193 --> 00:34:34,405
When Rubén arrived in Mexico City,
he immediately connected with Nadia,
461
00:34:34,489 --> 00:34:36,866
since she had been there
for a few months already.
462
00:34:39,702 --> 00:34:41,871
I mean, he stayed
in a few different places.
463
00:34:41,954 --> 00:34:44,332
He stayed at my house.
He stayed with another friend.
464
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:46,209
He stayed at Nadia's place.
465
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:48,503
-I think he stayed there a few times.
-He did.
466
00:34:48,586 --> 00:34:50,379
APARTMENT FOR RENT
3 ROOMS
467
00:34:50,463 --> 00:34:53,925
Nadia started living
in the apartment on Luz Saviñón.
468
00:34:56,010 --> 00:34:58,387
One of the roommates
had just left the apartment,
469
00:34:58,471 --> 00:35:01,349
so they were looking
for someone else to move in.
470
00:35:04,227 --> 00:35:07,230
Nadia contacted them online,
and she moved in.
471
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:10,650
Without knowing any of them previously.
472
00:35:18,699 --> 00:35:21,953
We will hold
Javier Duarte de Ochoa, state governor,
473
00:35:22,036 --> 00:35:24,288
and his whole cabinet entirely accountable
474
00:35:24,372 --> 00:35:26,874
for what could happen
to those of us involved
475
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:29,043
in organized movements,
476
00:35:30,253 --> 00:35:34,799
whether they be student,
academic, or civil society as a whole.
477
00:35:37,885 --> 00:35:42,807
We want to emphasize that the state
is completely responsible for our safety.
478
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:46,644
Because they are the ones
who are ordering our repression.
479
00:35:46,727 --> 00:35:48,187
#JUSTICE FOR THE 5
480
00:35:54,902 --> 00:35:58,865
The message sent was that
Duarte's tentacles could reach everywhere.
481
00:36:01,784 --> 00:36:04,412
President Enrique Peña Nietospoke out
482
00:36:04,495 --> 00:36:06,831
on the multiple homicide case in Narvarte.
483
00:36:06,914 --> 00:36:11,085
Without a doubt, the authorities
and prosecutors are fully committed
484
00:36:11,169 --> 00:36:14,714
to the investigation
and capture of the perpetrators.
485
00:36:15,756 --> 00:36:18,885
On the same matter,the government doubled down,
486
00:36:18,968 --> 00:36:22,346
saying that the search would exhaustall possible lines of investigation.
487
00:36:22,430 --> 00:36:24,473
We must exhaust all options.
488
00:36:25,558 --> 00:36:28,477
Miguel Ángel Mancera
had been the city's attorney general.
489
00:36:32,565 --> 00:36:35,776
However, he gave his position
to his personal secretary.
490
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:37,862
Rodolfo Fernando Ríos Garza,
491
00:36:37,945 --> 00:36:40,656
Federal DistrictAttorney General's Office.
492
00:36:42,158 --> 00:36:44,368
A man without much experience
in law enforcement,
493
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:47,580
whose only merit was being a friend
of Miguel Ángel Mancera.
494
00:36:49,415 --> 00:36:53,211
There was enormous pressure put
on the government of Miguel Ángel Mancera
495
00:36:53,294 --> 00:36:56,756
and his attorney's office
to get to the bottom of this crime.
496
00:36:56,839 --> 00:36:58,424
JOURNALIST KILLER
497
00:36:59,133 --> 00:37:00,426
First, we have to wait
498
00:37:00,509 --> 00:37:03,679
for all the facts of this case
to come to light.
499
00:37:04,972 --> 00:37:10,269
This situation is one completely foreign
to the government of Veracruz.
500
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:16,150
It's even being overseen by a government
belonging to a different political party.
501
00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:21,030
We met Prosecutor Ríos Garza
with numerous journalist organizations
502
00:37:21,113 --> 00:37:23,074
to try to do some damage control.
503
00:37:24,033 --> 00:37:25,952
Let me play some audio from that day.
504
00:37:27,662 --> 00:37:30,039
I can't disclosetoo much information,
505
00:37:30,122 --> 00:37:31,374
but the events that took place
506
00:37:31,457 --> 00:37:34,210
had nothing to dowith journalistic activity.
507
00:37:34,293 --> 00:37:37,171
The crime was not directedat Rubén Espinosa.
508
00:37:38,381 --> 00:37:41,175
We were surprised
by him saying that it wasn't about Rubén
509
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:42,843
or his work as a journalist.
510
00:37:42,927 --> 00:37:46,180
It felt like they said that
just to eliminate it as an option.
511
00:37:47,682 --> 00:37:49,809
To throw out that line of investigation.
512
00:37:51,852 --> 00:37:54,063
I believe that
the meeting with Rodolfo Ríos
513
00:37:54,146 --> 00:37:57,900
was the starting point
for a whole strategy of investigation,
514
00:37:59,151 --> 00:38:00,778
manipulation,
515
00:38:03,072 --> 00:38:05,199
and establishing a narrative.
516
00:38:06,117 --> 00:38:09,120
THEY CANNOT KILL THE TRUTH
517
00:38:09,203 --> 00:38:13,499
Rubén Espinosa Becerril
was identified by his relatives,
518
00:38:13,582 --> 00:38:16,877
who said that his return
to Mexico City was due to the search
519
00:38:16,961 --> 00:38:19,046
for new opportunities
520
00:38:19,922 --> 00:38:22,008
as professional photographer,
521
00:38:23,759 --> 00:38:26,095
an activity that he developed in Veracruz.
522
00:38:27,096 --> 00:38:28,848
He was a fellow reporter!
523
00:38:29,348 --> 00:38:32,310
Please, quiet down.
Keep calm. I agree that we had…
524
00:38:32,393 --> 00:38:34,979
Rubén Espinosa
didn't leave Veracruz.
525
00:38:35,062 --> 00:38:36,230
He fled Veracruz.
526
00:38:36,314 --> 00:38:38,941
He pointed directly
to Governor Javier Duarte
527
00:38:39,025 --> 00:38:41,193
as the reason for his integrity.
528
00:38:41,277 --> 00:38:43,404
What can you tell us?
I don't believe that.
529
00:38:43,487 --> 00:38:46,532
In regards to this--
All right. All right. Let me speak.
530
00:38:47,074 --> 00:38:50,870
It's very clear that all lines
of investigation are still open.
531
00:38:53,998 --> 00:38:55,708
Our greatest concern…
532
00:38:57,418 --> 00:39:02,048
is that the attorney and this government
keep protecting murderers.
533
00:39:03,007 --> 00:39:04,925
The most likely scenario that we see
534
00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:09,055
is that they will arrest the Toms,
Dicks, and Harrys, as we joked about.
535
00:39:10,056 --> 00:39:11,599
Three complete nobodies.
536
00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:14,143
-Free of wrongdoing.
-Yeah. Without fear of wrongdoing.
537
00:39:14,226 --> 00:39:16,187
The attorney would present them
as the perpetrators
538
00:39:16,270 --> 00:39:17,396
with fabricated stories.
539
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:20,316
He'll mention drugs.
He'll mention alcohol.
540
00:39:20,399 --> 00:39:22,485
Anything that will rationalize the crime.
541
00:39:28,574 --> 00:39:31,035
This video shows
the alleged perpetrators
542
00:39:31,118 --> 00:39:33,079
of the multiple homicide
543
00:39:33,162 --> 00:39:36,290
making their escape
through the Narvarte neighborhood.
544
00:39:40,836 --> 00:39:43,881
The three criminals,found leaving the apartment
545
00:39:43,964 --> 00:39:47,510
after the murderof five people, have been identified,
546
00:39:47,593 --> 00:39:49,136
arrested, and detained.
547
00:39:50,179 --> 00:39:53,933
The first man, seen carrying a suitcase,is Chef Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez.
548
00:39:56,102 --> 00:39:58,062
Forensics found a fingerprint
549
00:39:58,145 --> 00:40:02,191
and compared it to fingerprints
in the Attorney's Office's database.
550
00:40:02,858 --> 00:40:05,069
And the result was positive.
551
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:09,865
Pacheco Gutiérrez,had previously been imprisoned
552
00:40:09,949 --> 00:40:11,367
for robbery and rape.
553
00:40:12,535 --> 00:40:16,288
Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez,the man who snitched on his accomplices.
554
00:40:16,372 --> 00:40:19,667
He identified the killersafter being shown pictures of suspects.
555
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:22,586
The man in the red Mustangwas a former officer
556
00:40:22,670 --> 00:40:26,006
of Mexico City's police force,Abraham Torres Tranquilino.
557
00:40:31,470 --> 00:40:34,682
Abraham Torres Tranquilino is an ex-cop.
558
00:40:34,765 --> 00:40:40,271
In 2011, he was prosecuted for torture,
alongside several other police officers,
559
00:40:40,354 --> 00:40:43,232
when he submerged
a criminal's head in water.
560
00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:46,777
One of the victimsknew at least one of the killers
561
00:40:47,486 --> 00:40:50,573
In the center,we see Colombian Mile Virginia Martín.
562
00:40:51,407 --> 00:40:55,202
And on the far right of this photo,we see Abraham Torres Tranquilino,
563
00:40:55,703 --> 00:40:57,246
now accused of her murder.
564
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:03,669
The Capital'sAttorney's Office announced
565
00:41:03,752 --> 00:41:06,714
the arrest of a man identifiedas César Omar Martínez,
566
00:41:06,797 --> 00:41:10,342
the third suspect allegedly involvedin the multiple homicide in Narvarte.
567
00:41:11,844 --> 00:41:13,762
He's the lastto exit the building,
568
00:41:13,846 --> 00:41:16,265
wearing a white T-shirtand walking across the street.
569
00:41:16,348 --> 00:41:18,601
His name is César Omar Martínez Zendejas.
570
00:41:18,684 --> 00:41:22,897
He is 32 years old
and is a resident of Mexico City.
571
00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:25,357
It's been reportedthat his phone made calls
572
00:41:25,441 --> 00:41:28,194
in the same area,day, and time as the crime.
573
00:41:30,696 --> 00:41:33,991
Their logic was that three people
show up in the main security camera
574
00:41:34,074 --> 00:41:35,659
on Luz Saviñón.
575
00:41:39,747 --> 00:41:41,790
"Three people claimed
they were in that place."
576
00:41:41,874 --> 00:41:43,417
"That's all the evidence I need."
577
00:41:44,084 --> 00:41:47,421
The Prosecutor's Officemaintains that only three people
578
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:49,423
were involved in the multiple homicide.
579
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:55,137
Deputy Prosecutor Garrido said,
"I've identified the perpetrators."
580
00:41:55,221 --> 00:41:59,141
"And what the law requires of me is
to prove who takes the life of a person."
581
00:41:59,225 --> 00:42:01,519
-"Whoever takes the life of a person."
-Mm-hmm.
582
00:42:01,602 --> 00:42:02,436
And then he says,
583
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,523
"Here. Where is the motivation?"
I mean, where do you…?
584
00:42:05,606 --> 00:42:07,983
And we told him,
"If this is the only proof you have,
585
00:42:08,067 --> 00:42:11,320
you can't even figure out
which of the three men shot the gun?"
586
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,698
"No, no, no.
We already have this case solved."
587
00:42:15,574 --> 00:42:18,494
"What else do you want?"
"Well, we want the truth."
588
00:42:18,577 --> 00:42:19,537
And he says, "No."
589
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:21,956
"What you're asking me for
is a fairy tale."
590
00:42:26,544 --> 00:42:30,756
According to the investigations
or what the Attorney's Office tells you,
591
00:42:30,839 --> 00:42:34,593
your head starts writing a script
that might not even exist.
592
00:42:37,054 --> 00:42:38,639
There's no logic to it.
593
00:42:39,139 --> 00:42:41,141
We want to know every detail,
594
00:42:41,225 --> 00:42:44,895
but we still don't know
what really happened.
595
00:42:48,524 --> 00:42:51,151
All we're asking for
is that justice gets carried out
596
00:42:51,235 --> 00:42:53,070
and that there will be no impunity.
597
00:42:53,904 --> 00:42:56,907
The best thing they could do for us
at this point would be to tell us,
598
00:42:57,408 --> 00:42:59,201
"We're not gonna do this anymore."
599
00:42:59,285 --> 00:43:02,288
NARVARTE CASE
600
00:43:02,371 --> 00:43:04,456
Now that we have
all the preliminary information,
601
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:08,627
we've decided to seek out specialists,
forensic experts…
602
00:43:10,796 --> 00:43:12,881
anyone who can analyze
the information we have
603
00:43:12,965 --> 00:43:15,884
and allow us to correct the course
of this investigation.
604
00:43:17,845 --> 00:43:20,264
NARVARTE CASE
605
00:43:28,856 --> 00:43:31,650
In an investigation,
there must be a problem.
606
00:43:32,318 --> 00:43:35,279
The lines of investigation
serve as strategies,
607
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:37,072
or the solutions, to solving said problem.
608
00:43:38,282 --> 00:43:40,492
Who was there?
Who did it? Why did they do it?
609
00:43:40,576 --> 00:43:42,870
And if you see it reflected
in a legal matter,
610
00:43:42,953 --> 00:43:44,872
then those answers solve the problem.
611
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:47,416
They're facts.
612
00:43:49,752 --> 00:43:53,047
"…intended to intervene in invasions of…"
613
00:43:54,673 --> 00:43:59,428
"Based on the absence of traces
of forced entry into the property,
614
00:43:59,511 --> 00:44:04,808
it is established
that the perpetrators had access."
615
00:44:06,143 --> 00:44:07,686
There was no forced entry.
616
00:44:11,065 --> 00:44:13,359
It's important to analyze
the Narvarte case
617
00:44:13,442 --> 00:44:15,694
from the perspective of a femicide.
618
00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:18,656
If it is left as a homicide,
619
00:44:19,156 --> 00:44:25,579
then all the violence that was exercised
upon those four women… will fade away.
620
00:44:27,206 --> 00:44:30,584
This implies that key evidence
for the investigation is lost.
621
00:44:32,544 --> 00:44:35,255
"Partial, reddish blood-like stains."
622
00:44:39,718 --> 00:44:44,223
In principle, homicide is the type
of investigation easiest to solve.
623
00:44:46,975 --> 00:44:49,478
That's because homicides
leave behind large amounts of traces,
624
00:44:49,561 --> 00:44:50,979
starting with the corpse.
625
00:44:55,734 --> 00:44:57,736
"Partial,
reddish blood-like stains
626
00:44:57,820 --> 00:45:02,408
are caused by footprints
with no visible pattern or design."
627
00:45:04,952 --> 00:45:08,539
There's no individual description
of the type and size of each shoe.
628
00:45:11,917 --> 00:45:14,795
But that shoe print can still help us
identify and match
629
00:45:14,878 --> 00:45:16,714
with different footprints.
630
00:45:20,884 --> 00:45:25,806
When Daniel got arrested,
we assumed they'd retrieved the shoe
631
00:45:26,765 --> 00:45:31,228
and checked to see if his shoe size
matched the one found at the crime scene.
632
00:45:31,311 --> 00:45:33,814
-And their reaction was, "Uh."
-Yeah. It was like…
633
00:45:33,897 --> 00:45:35,649
"We should write this down."
634
00:45:36,275 --> 00:45:39,153
-Two days later, they got a warrant.
-Of course. Obviously.
635
00:45:39,236 --> 00:45:41,447
But 20 days had already gone by
since his arrest.
636
00:45:41,530 --> 00:45:43,365
Obviously, they didn't find anything.
637
00:45:44,074 --> 00:45:46,493
I don't know why there are
still authorities who don't think
638
00:45:46,577 --> 00:45:49,413
that victims should be allowed access
into their own investigation.
639
00:45:50,664 --> 00:45:53,625
Exactly. It's also one of the principles
of due diligence,
640
00:45:53,709 --> 00:45:56,462
the active involvement of victims
and their families.
641
00:45:56,545 --> 00:45:57,755
Yes.
642
00:45:57,838 --> 00:46:00,424
First of all, they should be allowed
to provide information
643
00:46:00,507 --> 00:46:02,801
they believe to be relevant or pertinent
644
00:46:03,302 --> 00:46:06,972
but also be allowed to access info
gathered in the investigation.
645
00:46:07,973 --> 00:46:10,559
A black-and-white photograph
is ridiculous.
646
00:46:10,642 --> 00:46:12,352
A copy of a copy.
647
00:46:13,228 --> 00:46:14,646
That's what people see.
648
00:46:14,730 --> 00:46:18,066
A copy of the original… with nothing new.
649
00:46:21,987 --> 00:46:25,073
I also believe that this hinders
people's right to justice.
650
00:46:27,034 --> 00:46:29,495
I don't want to say
it's done intentionally,
651
00:46:29,995 --> 00:46:31,163
but it is systematic.
652
00:46:36,543 --> 00:46:37,878
When an investigation begins,
653
00:46:37,961 --> 00:46:40,881
you only have one chance
to get things right.
654
00:46:43,383 --> 00:46:44,802
And if it's not done properly,
655
00:46:44,885 --> 00:46:48,555
it can mark the beginning
of an investigation with deficiencies.
656
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:52,100
This can plant
the seed of impunity.
657
00:47:06,323 --> 00:47:07,282
Daniel was arrested
658
00:47:07,366 --> 00:47:09,868
because they found a fingerprint
in the closet.
659
00:47:14,832 --> 00:47:18,335
Then the Attorney's Office
leaks his confession to the press.
660
00:47:19,253 --> 00:47:21,463
"The confession
of the Narvarte case killer."
661
00:47:22,923 --> 00:47:24,174
Ciro in the Morning.
662
00:47:24,258 --> 00:47:26,051
The news program with the best
663
00:47:26,134 --> 00:47:28,929
and brightest radio audiencein the country.
664
00:47:29,972 --> 00:47:33,016
Here, I have the statementof Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez,
665
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:36,687
and I'm going to read it as is,without comments.
666
00:47:38,021 --> 00:47:40,816
"I wish to state that I accept, in part,
667
00:47:40,899 --> 00:47:43,026
the charges made against me
668
00:47:43,902 --> 00:47:46,864
and will detail what occurred as follows."
669
00:47:48,740 --> 00:47:50,492
"On July 31, 2015,
670
00:47:50,617 --> 00:47:56,331
I received a call via my Nextel cell phone
from a friend of mine, José Abraham."
671
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,750
"José Abraham."
672
00:47:59,751 --> 00:48:01,837
"He offered me an invitation, saying…"
673
00:48:02,921 --> 00:48:06,174
"'What's up, Daniel?'You want to fuck the Colocha?'"
674
00:48:06,675 --> 00:48:09,595
"He was referring
to a Colombian named Nicole."
675
00:48:09,678 --> 00:48:13,682
In Mile's case, every time
you want to criminalize someone,
676
00:48:14,474 --> 00:48:16,226
you give them a nickname.
677
00:48:16,310 --> 00:48:17,728
"Mile, aka Nicole."
678
00:48:17,811 --> 00:48:21,273
It's the same way they'd refer to her
as "the Colombian woman."
679
00:48:22,024 --> 00:48:24,234
"He also told me
he was going to meet with Omar."
680
00:48:28,113 --> 00:48:30,365
"Outside the building,
Abraham rang the intercom,
681
00:48:30,449 --> 00:48:32,618
and Nicole answered and came to the door."
682
00:48:36,580 --> 00:48:40,834
"Then we entered the building
and took the elevator to apartment 401."
683
00:48:49,384 --> 00:48:51,678
"We followed Nicole into the apartment."
684
00:48:59,811 --> 00:49:01,521
"The door to the middle bedroom was open,
685
00:49:01,605 --> 00:49:03,941
and there was a guy
and a girl laying on the bed."
686
00:49:05,692 --> 00:49:08,153
"Nicole returned with another woman
from the main bedroom."
687
00:49:08,654 --> 00:49:11,823
"The couple in the middle bedroom
came out to the living room as well."
688
00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:18,997
"There were five menand three women in the room."
689
00:49:19,081 --> 00:49:20,707
"We began to talk."
690
00:49:23,794 --> 00:49:27,464
"Ten minutes later, a larger womanwith light skin came in
691
00:49:27,547 --> 00:49:30,384
and began to clean the kitchenand do chores."
692
00:49:30,467 --> 00:49:34,221
"I was chatting with the girl Nicolehad brought out of the master bedroom,
693
00:49:34,304 --> 00:49:38,016
and I was asking her if we were goingto 'get down to business,'
694
00:49:41,103 --> 00:49:46,066
referring to whether or not we were goingto engage in sexual intercourse."
695
00:49:47,401 --> 00:49:52,155
"She said yes,and that it would cost 1,800 pesos."
696
00:49:58,036 --> 00:50:00,288
The statement seems unlikely
as there is no evidence
697
00:50:00,372 --> 00:50:04,251
on the victims' bodies that indicates
they'd had sexual relations that day.
698
00:50:07,921 --> 00:50:11,675
"Meanwhile,Omar, Abraham, the Colombian,
699
00:50:11,758 --> 00:50:16,471
the bearded guy, and the womanwho was with him were doing cocaine."
700
00:50:21,685 --> 00:50:26,481
How could this statement possibly…
benefit Daniel?
701
00:50:26,565 --> 00:50:28,025
It doesn't.
702
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:31,695
This statement benefits the authorities.
703
00:50:34,823 --> 00:50:37,743
Why? Because it's helping
tie the loose ends.
704
00:50:37,826 --> 00:50:39,411
"Ah, see? They did cocaine."
705
00:50:39,494 --> 00:50:43,248
USING COCAINE
706
00:50:43,331 --> 00:50:45,625
"Ah, see? It involved prostitution."
707
00:50:46,835 --> 00:50:49,796
"Ah, see? It involved a lot of people."
708
00:50:51,590 --> 00:50:53,175
These are small brushstrokes,
709
00:50:53,258 --> 00:50:56,595
used to construct an entire narrative
with context.
710
00:50:57,137 --> 00:50:59,181
Right. And that's
where the attention diverted to
711
00:50:59,264 --> 00:51:00,682
and where the hypotheses came from.
712
00:51:04,686 --> 00:51:07,189
"I left the apartment
and pressed the elevator button."
713
00:51:10,067 --> 00:51:13,070
"While waiting for the elevator,
Abraham came out to give me a backpack."
714
00:51:13,904 --> 00:51:16,364
"He said. 'Take it.
My things are in there.'"
715
00:51:18,033 --> 00:51:21,036
"I took them, knowing he needed
some time alone with the Colombian."
716
00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:28,752
"Omar stayed in the apartment
the entire time."
717
00:51:31,755 --> 00:51:34,841
And he says he doesn't know
what happened when he left the apartment.
718
00:51:35,342 --> 00:51:36,968
Till they all left the scene.
719
00:51:38,512 --> 00:51:41,139
"It wasn'tuntil Sunday, after 2:00 p.m.
720
00:51:41,223 --> 00:51:44,684
that I heard on the newsthat several people had been killed,
721
00:51:44,768 --> 00:51:47,979
including a reporterfrom Colonia Narvarte."
722
00:51:55,654 --> 00:51:58,240
Daniel is not actually confessing
in this statement.
723
00:51:58,323 --> 00:52:01,034
Why did the Attorney's Office
say there was a confession?
724
00:52:01,535 --> 00:52:04,496
And on top of that,
his statement is incoherent.
725
00:52:05,497 --> 00:52:08,416
Thanks to this statement,the authorities were now aware
726
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:11,294
that gatherings were commonin that apartment building,
727
00:52:11,378 --> 00:52:13,588
where unknown people could enterwith ease.
728
00:52:15,674 --> 00:52:18,468
The apartment was usedfor sex, according to Daniel.
729
00:52:18,552 --> 00:52:20,679
They were practicing prostitution.
730
00:52:20,762 --> 00:52:22,097
"WE WENT FOR SEX"
731
00:52:23,557 --> 00:52:25,225
With these types of headlines,
732
00:52:25,308 --> 00:52:28,186
you strip away the victims'
status as victims.
733
00:52:28,854 --> 00:52:31,273
You deny their access to social justice.
734
00:52:32,107 --> 00:52:33,775
Sometimes, that's all we have.
735
00:52:34,943 --> 00:52:38,822
That was Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez'scriminal statement.
736
00:52:40,323 --> 00:52:43,034
You heard it right here first, folks.
737
00:52:47,289 --> 00:52:50,667
In the end, the Attorney's Office
achieved their impunity protocol,
738
00:52:50,750 --> 00:52:52,377
building and perpetuating a narrative
739
00:52:52,460 --> 00:52:55,589
that drove attention away
from Veracruz's officials.
740
00:52:57,799 --> 00:53:00,051
A narrative that also stigmatized
the victims
741
00:53:00,135 --> 00:53:03,513
and generated very little social sympathy
towards them.
742
00:53:14,649 --> 00:53:16,860
You could almost think of it
as a relationship
743
00:53:18,653 --> 00:53:20,655
between the authority
investigating the case
744
00:53:20,739 --> 00:53:24,993
and the media trying to make sense of
the version that criminalizes the victims
745
00:53:25,869 --> 00:53:28,747
and tells the general public
that what happened was a brothel party
746
00:53:28,830 --> 00:53:30,207
got out of control
747
00:53:31,625 --> 00:53:34,377
and everyone involved
was morally reprehensible.
748
00:53:38,506 --> 00:53:42,177
Unfortunately, it's partof a system composed of different actors
749
00:53:42,260 --> 00:53:45,597
that, together, contributefrom their own separate stages
750
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:50,977
to arrange and try to put togetherdifferent truths.
751
00:53:52,729 --> 00:53:53,897
Or lies.
752
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,743
The University of Toronto's Citizen Lab
documented another attempt of espionage
753
00:54:06,826 --> 00:54:08,286
using Pegasus software.
754
00:54:08,370 --> 00:54:10,956
Karla Micheel Salas Ramírez
and David Peña Rodríguez,
755
00:54:11,039 --> 00:54:13,041
lawyers for the Narvarte cases,
were targeted.
756
00:54:14,626 --> 00:54:17,337
The Pegasus software
had accessed the entire phone,
757
00:54:17,420 --> 00:54:18,546
so it listened to calls.
758
00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:21,383
-It could turn on the camera.
-It was literally controlling our lives.
759
00:54:22,634 --> 00:54:24,010
That software had been acquired
760
00:54:24,094 --> 00:54:27,013
by the then Attorney General's Office
of Mexico.
761
00:54:27,597 --> 00:54:29,474
-And SEDENA.
-And SEDENA.
762
00:54:29,557 --> 00:54:32,477
But it came as a direct order
from the president himself.
763
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:33,561
Peña Nieto.
764
00:54:33,645 --> 00:54:36,022
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
765
00:54:36,940 --> 00:54:39,442
Why did we become a target
for the federal government?
766
00:54:40,860 --> 00:54:42,779
But it wasn't the federal government
targeting us.
767
00:54:44,281 --> 00:54:46,533
It was the government
of Miguel Ángel Mancera.
768
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:49,286
He wanted to do damage control
769
00:54:49,369 --> 00:54:51,538
on a case
that had gotten out of his hands.
770
00:54:55,750 --> 00:54:57,252
Also, around this time,
771
00:54:57,335 --> 00:55:00,130
leaks began to flow out
of the city government at a rapid rate.
772
00:55:02,590 --> 00:55:05,427
Traces of drugswere found at the crime scene.
773
00:55:05,510 --> 00:55:08,471
In Nadia's room, they found an ashtray
774
00:55:08,555 --> 00:55:11,308
containing a substanceidentified as marijuana.
775
00:55:13,184 --> 00:55:15,603
They found a small sample of drugs
in the apartment.
776
00:55:16,104 --> 00:55:19,482
That was enough for the media to say
they were involved in drug trafficking.
777
00:55:20,692 --> 00:55:24,571
The theory that the multiple homicide
is drug related has been reaffirmed.
778
00:55:25,739 --> 00:55:28,575
This suggests that the crime
was indeed drug related.
779
00:55:30,201 --> 00:55:32,162
Whatever was talked about on the news
780
00:55:32,245 --> 00:55:34,873
was then used by the authorities
in the investigation.
781
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:38,376
MEXICO CITY GOVERNOR, 2012-2018
782
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:43,965
Look, Mexico City has always had
a drug-dealing problem.
783
00:55:44,841 --> 00:55:48,094
And, of course,
this is what criminal groups fight for
784
00:55:48,178 --> 00:55:50,472
and why they kill each other every day.
785
00:55:52,349 --> 00:55:54,768
Inside the suitcasebeing carried by this man,
786
00:55:54,851 --> 00:55:58,646
there were several kilos of pure cocainepackaged inside what are known as bricks.
787
00:55:59,439 --> 00:56:04,235
And this was the motive for the homicidethat occurred in the Narvarte apartment.
788
00:56:05,403 --> 00:56:08,531
There's evidence
that they arrived empty-handed
789
00:56:08,615 --> 00:56:09,991
and left with a black suitcase.
790
00:56:16,373 --> 00:56:20,502
This is why they said it was a robbery,
but it wasn't just any robbery.
791
00:56:20,585 --> 00:56:22,087
The type of men involved,
792
00:56:22,879 --> 00:56:26,007
the type of execution,
the type of violence,
793
00:56:26,591 --> 00:56:30,345
those were the elements
that proved this was related to narcotics.
794
00:56:31,888 --> 00:56:33,181
Drugs.
795
00:56:34,933 --> 00:56:37,769
The authorities now knowexactly what was in that suitcase.
796
00:56:37,852 --> 00:56:40,063
The murderers carriedseveral kilos of cocaine
797
00:56:40,146 --> 00:56:41,981
they had stolen from the young Colombian.
798
00:56:43,817 --> 00:56:47,612
However, they didn't find
a strong link to drug trafficking, right?
799
00:56:48,947 --> 00:56:53,201
No. This is why when they discussed
the theft of the suitcase,
800
00:56:54,619 --> 00:56:57,455
they couldn't say
exactly what it contained.
801
00:57:02,168 --> 00:57:04,045
The contents of the suitcase
were never known
802
00:57:04,129 --> 00:57:06,297
because that suitcase was never found.
803
00:57:08,758 --> 00:57:11,428
The Attorney's Office theory was
that there were three murderers
804
00:57:11,511 --> 00:57:14,055
who acted with the motive
of recovering drugs.
805
00:57:17,016 --> 00:57:18,893
They were arrested,
and the case was closed.
806
00:57:20,019 --> 00:57:21,229
That was the evidence.
807
00:57:21,312 --> 00:57:23,731
Those were the items
found at the scene of the crime.
808
00:57:24,899 --> 00:57:27,152
And those were the people
who took part in the event.
809
00:57:27,652 --> 00:57:28,653
That was it.
810
00:57:34,534 --> 00:57:39,247
My name is Luis Pedro García Yáñez.
I'm an expert in computer science.
811
00:57:39,330 --> 00:57:43,877
I have almost 20 years' experience working
with crimes that involve technology.
812
00:57:44,836 --> 00:57:47,172
For example, identifying devices,
813
00:57:47,255 --> 00:57:50,884
extracting information from them,
and seeing what we can find.
814
00:57:54,345 --> 00:57:56,431
These devices were used specifically
815
00:57:56,514 --> 00:57:59,934
so they could have
effective communications in real time
816
00:58:00,018 --> 00:58:02,020
to coordinate their actions.
817
00:58:06,983 --> 00:58:09,944
Once a number
under investigation is located,
818
00:58:10,028 --> 00:58:12,906
the phone carrier
receives an information request.
819
00:58:20,163 --> 00:58:22,165
These sheets have information
820
00:58:22,248 --> 00:58:25,627
regarding the calls
made between the perpetrators.
821
00:58:26,753 --> 00:58:28,838
CLIENT DETAILS
822
00:58:30,715 --> 00:58:34,677
For example, the date of the call,
the time of the call,
823
00:58:34,761 --> 00:58:36,346
the duration of the call,
824
00:58:36,429 --> 00:58:40,892
and the particular geographic location
of the person making the call.
825
00:58:52,612 --> 00:58:57,075
We are going to examine these sheets
and see how the communications
826
00:58:57,158 --> 00:59:00,578
between perpetrators will appear.
827
00:59:04,541 --> 00:59:07,168
From this analysis, we can deduce
828
00:59:07,252 --> 00:59:10,004
that Abraham, Omar, and Daniel
829
00:59:10,088 --> 00:59:13,424
were all likely involved
on the day of the event.
830
00:59:13,508 --> 00:59:15,593
OMAR - OFFICE
831
00:59:17,178 --> 00:59:21,307
But Omar, in particular,
was in constant communication
832
00:59:21,391 --> 00:59:25,103
with a number registered as DP2.
833
00:59:27,689 --> 00:59:31,734
So we learned that there
were not only three people involved.
834
00:59:31,818 --> 00:59:33,444
But at least four.
835
00:59:40,743 --> 00:59:43,746
One of the key issues
was accessing security videos.
836
00:59:43,830 --> 00:59:45,623
Being able to see full videos.
837
00:59:45,707 --> 00:59:49,627
Because the only thing we could find
were essentially photograph frames.
838
00:59:49,711 --> 00:59:52,338
With experts looking through photographs,
839
00:59:52,922 --> 00:59:56,301
it's ultimately determined
by them which photos are relevant
840
00:59:56,884 --> 00:59:58,511
and which ones are not.
841
00:59:59,429 --> 01:00:01,723
That's why we say,
"No, we need to see the whole video."
842
01:00:03,683 --> 01:00:06,769
Unfortunately, the chief of police
was the only one with access
843
01:00:06,853 --> 01:00:08,396
to those videos.
844
01:00:09,439 --> 01:00:11,858
We told the attorney
to order the chief of police
845
01:00:11,941 --> 01:00:14,193
to grant us access to those videos.
846
01:00:16,195 --> 01:00:19,907
And basically, all he said was,
"I can't do that."
847
01:00:22,535 --> 01:00:25,330
Everything came
from the Investigative Police.
848
01:00:25,413 --> 01:00:28,458
The person in control
of the entire distorted version of events
849
01:00:28,541 --> 01:00:30,043
was Raúl Peralta.
850
01:00:31,711 --> 01:00:34,213
He was the head
of the Investigative Police.
851
01:00:35,340 --> 01:00:36,841
Some say he was the real boss
852
01:00:36,924 --> 01:00:40,053
who gave orders to Ríos Garza,
the attorney at the time.
853
01:00:41,554 --> 01:00:43,514
We knew the power Peralta had.
854
01:00:43,598 --> 01:00:45,433
A lot of people warned us, you know,
855
01:00:46,934 --> 01:00:49,520
"Whatever you do, don't mess with him."
856
01:00:51,731 --> 01:00:55,360
The first set of videos I had been sent
from Chief Peralta were heavily edited
857
01:00:55,443 --> 01:00:57,278
by the Investigative Police.
858
01:00:57,862 --> 01:00:59,656
They just took several specific frames
859
01:00:59,739 --> 01:01:02,408
and just cut them out
before sending it to me.
860
01:01:03,034 --> 01:01:04,577
It was like a cartoon,
861
01:01:05,078 --> 01:01:09,248
where you could see the trail left
by the SUV and the Mustang.
862
01:01:10,750 --> 01:01:13,461
"This is a grainy video
from a crappy camera,
863
01:01:13,544 --> 01:01:15,380
but you could see the SUV
leaving the scene."
864
01:01:15,463 --> 01:01:17,298
But he just took a clip
from a different camera
865
01:01:17,382 --> 01:01:18,966
where the SUV is moving.
866
01:01:19,050 --> 01:01:23,054
JULY 31, 2015
1:40 P.M.
867
01:01:26,933 --> 01:01:30,144
We saw what they wanted us to see
and basically nothing else.
868
01:01:30,228 --> 01:01:33,231
JULY 31, 2015
1:47 P.M.
869
01:01:36,317 --> 01:01:40,071
In the same vein of how they assembled
the fragments of different videos,
870
01:01:40,154 --> 01:01:43,700
they started releasing fragments
of the phone call analyses.
871
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:48,454
When they first released the fragmented
transcripts, we had questions.
872
01:01:49,539 --> 01:01:53,042
When they released the transcript
as a whole, we had even more questions.
873
01:01:53,543 --> 01:01:54,794
What we asked them was,
874
01:01:54,877 --> 01:01:58,631
"Why is it that you only followed the SUV?
Wasn't there another vehicle?"
875
01:01:58,715 --> 01:01:59,674
"No."
876
01:01:59,757 --> 01:02:02,343
"So that means
when they were calling each other,
877
01:02:02,427 --> 01:02:05,012
they were all inside the same car?"
878
01:02:05,096 --> 01:02:06,472
They said, "Yes."
879
01:02:10,017 --> 01:02:13,688
DISC 1
DAMAGED, POOR QUALITY, AND TAKEN AT NIGHT
880
01:02:13,771 --> 01:02:15,440
I made a lot of notes.
881
01:02:17,775 --> 01:02:21,446
Cars passing, patrol cars passing,
visible shadows.
882
01:02:22,947 --> 01:02:25,283
Those notes made me feel
like I had something.
883
01:02:25,783 --> 01:02:28,661
Like I was getting closer.
Closer to the truth.
884
01:02:32,457 --> 01:02:34,083
Up until 2021,
885
01:02:34,167 --> 01:02:38,171
we were only able to see
about 80% of the videos in that folder.
886
01:02:49,766 --> 01:02:50,975
Abraham is definitely one
887
01:02:51,058 --> 01:02:53,519
of the more interesting characters
in this case.
888
01:02:56,397 --> 01:02:58,900
STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CULPRIT(S)
889
01:02:58,983 --> 01:03:01,944
Abraham made this statement
on September 16th,
890
01:03:02,028 --> 01:03:04,489
just after Omar had been arrested.
891
01:03:06,115 --> 01:03:08,367
Abraham's statement reads as follows.
892
01:03:08,451 --> 01:03:10,161
"We went to the Luz Saviñón building
893
01:03:10,244 --> 01:03:12,622
when César Omar Zendejas ordered myself,
894
01:03:12,705 --> 01:03:15,458
Daniel Pacheco,
and a man nicknamed 'El Duy,'"
895
01:03:15,541 --> 01:03:17,084
whom they never asked about again.
896
01:03:17,585 --> 01:03:20,296
Who is "El Duy”? What's his real name?
897
01:03:20,379 --> 01:03:21,714
Where did it come from?
898
01:03:27,094 --> 01:03:30,097
"Daniel Pacheco,
El Duy, and I drove to the apartment."
899
01:03:30,181 --> 01:03:32,517
"We left in the blue Suburban SUV."
900
01:03:36,020 --> 01:03:39,232
"César Omar Zendejas, aka 'El Omarcito,'
901
01:03:39,315 --> 01:03:42,902
came with another person
I didn't recognize in a Malibu vehicle."
902
01:04:08,261 --> 01:04:11,597
There. An arm comes out
from behind the passenger seat.
903
01:04:11,681 --> 01:04:14,809
He sticks his arm out the window
to smoke a cigarette.
904
01:04:18,312 --> 01:04:22,066
Abraham said that there were three people
in the SUV.
905
01:04:26,904 --> 01:04:30,366
-And two more people were in the Malibu.
-Exactly.
906
01:04:30,449 --> 01:04:33,536
-Including Omar.
-Omar and someone else.
907
01:04:38,749 --> 01:04:41,586
This is no coincidence,
and it's incredibly rare
908
01:04:41,669 --> 01:04:44,547
that the Investigative Police
miss an extra person,
909
01:04:44,630 --> 01:04:47,508
given how much tracking and tracing
they do with their footage.
910
01:05:20,082 --> 01:05:21,918
The perpetrators' vehicle arrives
911
01:05:22,001 --> 01:05:23,961
from the east side
of the scene of the crime.
912
01:05:26,672 --> 01:05:28,507
They turn down Zempoala.
913
01:05:41,437 --> 01:05:46,484
Once they park, they get out of their car
and walk south.
914
01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:50,404
Here, we see three men.
915
01:05:50,905 --> 01:05:53,324
The one with the black jacket is Abraham.
916
01:05:58,245 --> 01:05:59,872
The one on the phone is Daniel.
917
01:06:01,707 --> 01:06:03,668
And, according to the Attorney's Office,
918
01:06:03,751 --> 01:06:06,212
he's talking with Omar,
the one in the middle.
919
01:06:06,295 --> 01:06:08,881
-But he's not on the phone.
-That doesn't make sense.
920
01:06:08,965 --> 01:06:10,549
How could they be talking on the phone?
921
01:06:10,633 --> 01:06:13,511
Omar is clearly not talking to anyone
on the phone.
922
01:06:16,138 --> 01:06:19,767
With this video,
the story told by the Justice Department
923
01:06:19,850 --> 01:06:21,519
starts to unravel.
924
01:06:23,771 --> 01:06:26,816
It makes total sense why they didn't
want us to see these videos.
925
01:06:27,316 --> 01:06:28,526
Total sense.
926
01:06:33,823 --> 01:06:36,784
Abraham revealed
at least three crucial elements
927
01:06:36,867 --> 01:06:40,705
that we have finally been able to confirm,
seven years later.
928
01:06:41,956 --> 01:06:46,836
First, there's another man named "El Duy"
who was involved in some way.
929
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,759
Second, he was receiving instructions
from Omar.
930
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:58,472
And third, there was a second vehicle
accompanying them.
931
01:07:03,394 --> 01:07:07,189
Abraham made this statement
just after Omar had been arrested.
932
01:07:09,108 --> 01:07:11,736
At the end of his statement, Abraham says,
933
01:07:13,029 --> 01:07:16,198
"Do not transfer César Omar
to this same prison."
934
01:07:16,824 --> 01:07:19,535
"I'm afraid he will try to hurt me."
935
01:07:20,369 --> 01:07:23,914
The authorities have refused
to investigate this specific angle,
936
01:07:23,998 --> 01:07:27,626
which begs the question,
why do they refuse to investigate
937
01:07:27,710 --> 01:07:31,922
what seems to be an orchestrated,
planned, directed operation?
938
01:07:33,841 --> 01:07:35,760
Exactly. This was an operation.
939
01:07:35,843 --> 01:07:39,096
They went to that apartment
to execute the people who were there.
940
01:07:43,392 --> 01:07:45,269
As the investigation continues,
941
01:07:45,352 --> 01:07:48,564
your head starts writing a script
that might not even exist.
942
01:07:48,647 --> 01:07:53,819
"Maybe it was because of Mile
or Nadia or Yesenia or Rubén."
943
01:07:55,404 --> 01:07:56,614
The night before the event,
944
01:07:56,697 --> 01:08:00,576
Rubén arrived at the apartment
late at night with his friend Antonio.
945
01:08:01,327 --> 01:08:03,996
They had gone out
to a bar together downtown.
946
01:08:05,790 --> 01:08:08,334
There, Rubén remembered
that his friend Nadia
947
01:08:08,417 --> 01:08:11,337
was about to leave town,
and he wanted to say goodbye.
948
01:08:12,963 --> 01:08:14,006
So he calls her.
949
01:08:14,090 --> 01:08:17,218
Nadia joins them there,
and when the bar closes,
950
01:08:17,301 --> 01:08:19,887
Nadia suggests they go back to her place.
951
01:08:20,387 --> 01:08:23,432
Apparently, Antonio left the apartment
early the next morning,
952
01:08:24,350 --> 01:08:27,728
and Mile and Yesenia
had slept there overnight.
953
01:08:30,981 --> 01:08:34,485
Mrs. Alejandra Olivia was also there,
cleaning the apartment.
954
01:08:42,660 --> 01:08:44,411
I texted him at 2:00 pm.
955
01:08:44,495 --> 01:08:46,122
"What's up? Where were you yesterday?"
956
01:08:46,205 --> 01:08:48,374
And he said,
"I had drinks with a friend of mine
957
01:08:48,457 --> 01:08:50,584
and went back to her place after."
958
01:08:50,668 --> 01:08:52,378
Of course, I teased him
for not inviting me.
959
01:08:52,461 --> 01:08:54,130
WHY DIDN'T YOU INVITE ME?
960
01:09:08,227 --> 01:09:09,645
Three guys arrive.
961
01:09:10,146 --> 01:09:14,984
Two separate from Abraham
as Abraham is on the phone with Mile.
962
01:09:16,694 --> 01:09:19,655
He was probably letting her know
he was coming to the apartment.
963
01:09:23,450 --> 01:09:25,870
I told him,
"Dude, what are you still doing there?"
964
01:09:26,787 --> 01:09:29,748
And he said, "I'm on my way out.
I'll let you know when I'm home."
965
01:09:30,708 --> 01:09:32,293
With that, I thought he was okay.
966
01:09:32,376 --> 01:09:37,298
I'LL TEXT YOU WHEN I GET HOME, MAN.
I'M HEADING OUT NOW. 2:13 P.M.
967
01:09:37,381 --> 01:09:40,009
FRIDAY, 2:13 P.M.
968
01:09:55,691 --> 01:09:58,777
A few days earlier,
Yesenia told me her arm hurt.
969
01:10:00,863 --> 01:10:05,326
So, that day, I sent her a message
asking how her arm was.
970
01:10:05,409 --> 01:10:07,536
-IT'S BETTER NOW.
-TAKE CARE, HONEY.
971
01:10:07,620 --> 01:10:09,955
She said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
972
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,417
Then she gave me a call.
973
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:15,419
It was around 2:00 pm.
974
01:10:18,964 --> 01:10:20,424
She sounded fine.
975
01:10:21,508 --> 01:10:25,095
She said she was going to take… a shower.
976
01:10:27,014 --> 01:10:29,016
But everything sounded normal.
977
01:10:29,099 --> 01:10:31,352
She didn't sound worried or anything.
978
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:43,530
When she answered my message
on WhatsApp, it was exactly 2:13 pm.
979
01:10:43,614 --> 01:10:46,742
2:13 P.M.
980
01:10:46,825 --> 01:10:49,286
THAT'S GOOD, MA.
981
01:10:49,370 --> 01:10:51,705
I imagine that, at that time,
982
01:10:52,539 --> 01:10:55,125
those people were arriving
at the apartment.
983
01:10:56,460 --> 01:10:58,879
ENTRANCE
NO PARKING
984
01:11:07,096 --> 01:11:09,932
2:06 P.M.
THE SUBURBAN PASSES BY
985
01:12:21,337 --> 01:12:26,550
For starters, the first two in are armed,
and they immediately seize control.
986
01:12:27,676 --> 01:12:30,179
As soon as they arrive,
they hold Mile hostage
987
01:12:30,262 --> 01:12:33,515
and threaten everyone else directly.
988
01:12:36,310 --> 01:12:38,354
What's the only constant in this world?
989
01:12:38,437 --> 01:12:40,022
The presence of weapons.
990
01:12:44,735 --> 01:12:46,987
We have evidence
that only one weapon was fired,
991
01:12:47,071 --> 01:12:49,782
but we don't know if that was
the only one present at the scene
992
01:12:49,865 --> 01:12:51,408
or if others were carrying guns.
993
01:12:53,243 --> 01:12:55,913
The three-gun idea
seems the most plausible.
994
01:12:57,581 --> 01:12:59,291
But when you piece together
certain elements,
995
01:12:59,375 --> 01:13:01,919
it makes me think
there may have been only one weapon.
996
01:13:04,588 --> 01:13:07,674
Um, could all of you except Omar
put away the guns?
997
01:13:07,758 --> 01:13:09,510
Abraham, put away your gun.
998
01:13:12,638 --> 01:13:14,223
As soon as Mile opens the door,
999
01:13:14,306 --> 01:13:16,892
there should be
an element of surprise bursting in.
1000
01:13:17,476 --> 01:13:20,396
Nadia and Rubén will come out immediately
to see what's happening.
1001
01:13:26,151 --> 01:13:28,362
Rubén may have tried
to do something about it.
1002
01:13:29,238 --> 01:13:33,700
Maybe that's what made them go look
for the potato peeler to subdue him.
1003
01:13:37,788 --> 01:13:39,331
In similar situations,
1004
01:13:39,415 --> 01:13:41,500
when there are several victims
in an enclosed space,
1005
01:13:41,583 --> 01:13:44,211
the execution is almost immediate.
1006
01:13:45,671 --> 01:13:47,339
Why? Because that's their purpose.
1007
01:13:48,048 --> 01:13:51,510
They came carrying guns,
but they also brought tape.
1008
01:13:53,429 --> 01:13:57,349
So their plan was to tie them up
and, obviously, end their lives.
1009
01:13:57,433 --> 01:14:00,727
But at that moment, they could have
received instructions to make them suffer.
1010
01:14:00,811 --> 01:14:01,812
Yeah.
1011
01:14:07,860 --> 01:14:10,988
When a crime like this
takes place inside a victim's home,
1012
01:14:11,071 --> 01:14:13,449
there is always a personal intention.
1013
01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:18,120
There's a type of connection,
a subordination,
1014
01:14:18,203 --> 01:14:21,623
a relationship between the victim
and the perpetrator.
1015
01:14:22,791 --> 01:14:23,750
A lot of trust
1016
01:14:23,834 --> 01:14:27,713
that leads the aggressor
to transgress the victim's personal space.
1017
01:14:31,133 --> 01:14:34,636
There was fury.
There was violence. There was cruelty.
1018
01:14:36,597 --> 01:14:40,267
But I see a need to leave a clear message
of who's in charge here.
1019
01:14:40,350 --> 01:14:41,852
The message is clear.
1020
01:14:45,355 --> 01:14:48,734
In Mile's case, we didn't know
how or when she got there.
1021
01:14:48,817 --> 01:14:51,528
Did someone bring her,
or was she there for work?
1022
01:14:58,035 --> 01:15:00,537
Her family knew she
had begun work as a model.
1023
01:15:04,166 --> 01:15:05,250
There was even a folder
1024
01:15:05,334 --> 01:15:07,961
from her supposed employer
at the crime scene.
1025
01:15:13,926 --> 01:15:15,928
The folder contained
her passport,
1026
01:15:16,011 --> 01:15:18,430
which drew attention to her nationality.
1027
01:15:19,306 --> 01:15:22,267
It also had a document
stating her immigration status.
1028
01:15:24,394 --> 01:15:26,021
It's definitely no coincidence
1029
01:15:26,104 --> 01:15:28,732
that they left these documents
in plain sight.
1030
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:33,695
Documents that confirm
Mile's stigmatized profession.
1031
01:15:33,779 --> 01:15:36,365
-Sure.
-She's a model.
1032
01:15:36,990 --> 01:15:41,245
She's Colombian, which in itself
is also highly stigmatized
1033
01:15:41,328 --> 01:15:42,454
and criminalized.
1034
01:15:44,665 --> 01:15:46,708
There is evidence that two of the victims,
1035
01:15:46,792 --> 01:15:49,711
Mile and Yessenia,
were involved in prostitution.
1036
01:15:54,341 --> 01:15:57,010
WHATSAPP CHAT HISTORY WITH BRUNO
1037
01:16:00,847 --> 01:16:03,267
Okay. Here's what you need to know.
1038
01:16:03,350 --> 01:16:05,102
The man's name is Roberto.
1039
01:16:06,436 --> 01:16:08,397
He is at the Eurosuites Hotel.
1040
01:16:10,816 --> 01:16:13,735
He'll offer you serviceif you ask him directly.
1041
01:16:17,864 --> 01:16:22,202
They recruit young women
and offer them a work permit in Mexico,
1042
01:16:22,286 --> 01:16:25,414
usually through
several fake modeling agencies.
1043
01:16:27,457 --> 01:16:31,336
Mile came through a company
called MS Model Management.
1044
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,467
In one of the many meetings
we had at the Attorney's Office,
1045
01:16:37,551 --> 01:16:39,261
we asked them to bring in the employer.
1046
01:16:40,637 --> 01:16:42,973
And then they told us
they couldn't find the company.
1047
01:16:44,850 --> 01:16:46,643
There's something
very suspicious going on here
1048
01:16:46,727 --> 01:16:50,564
because how did immigration
authorize Mile's work permit?
1049
01:16:52,691 --> 01:16:57,029
It's interesting because among the papers
found inside the Mustang,
1050
01:16:57,112 --> 01:17:00,365
there was a greeting card
from the immigration officers.
1051
01:17:00,866 --> 01:17:02,868
INSIDE THE CARD IT SAYS,
1052
01:17:02,951 --> 01:17:06,705
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
BEST WISHES. JUNE 13, 2015."
1053
01:17:08,206 --> 01:17:10,917
Does that mean someone
from immigration is involved in all this?
1054
01:17:12,002 --> 01:17:13,962
All of this points to sex trafficking.
1055
01:17:17,883 --> 01:17:21,511
When we talk about sex trafficking,
it always involves a network
1056
01:17:21,595 --> 01:17:23,347
because it requires many accomplices.
1057
01:17:24,681 --> 01:17:28,393
We could presume this company
is part of a larger network
1058
01:17:28,477 --> 01:17:31,855
in which the authorities
were possibly involved
1059
01:17:31,938 --> 01:17:35,692
and that it was not just
"a businessman hiring models."
1060
01:17:39,404 --> 01:17:42,032
In my opinion,
it just doesn't make any sense,
1061
01:17:42,115 --> 01:17:45,577
that with all these pieces of evidence
being placed in plain sight
1062
01:17:45,661 --> 01:17:49,122
by the perpetrator or perpetrators,
we still don't know what happened.
1063
01:17:49,206 --> 01:17:51,249
Because this has nothing to do
with the folder
1064
01:17:51,333 --> 01:17:53,627
or the ID found outside of her purse.
1065
01:18:01,885 --> 01:18:05,013
They did not bother
to inform us about anything.
1066
01:18:06,515 --> 01:18:08,433
It felt like it was more important
1067
01:18:08,517 --> 01:18:11,103
for the authorities
to handwave the whole situation away
1068
01:18:11,186 --> 01:18:16,400
as a party gone wrong with drugs,
prostitution, and a robbery.
1069
01:18:20,028 --> 01:18:21,363
Bad stuff.
1070
01:18:23,615 --> 01:18:25,200
It doesn't make sense.
1071
01:18:26,118 --> 01:18:29,663
These boxes seem
to be an odd piece of evidence to place.
1072
01:18:30,956 --> 01:18:32,833
Yes, they divert
the investigation elsewhere.
1073
01:18:37,212 --> 01:18:38,630
This happens a lot.
1074
01:18:38,714 --> 01:18:42,300
We've seen it in previous femicides,
where they look for any piece of evidence,
1075
01:18:42,384 --> 01:18:44,136
no matter how small,
1076
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:46,847
to rule out the possibility
of it being a femicide.
1077
01:18:48,181 --> 01:18:50,267
For example, they say,
1078
01:18:51,393 --> 01:18:53,061
"Oh, there were drugs on the premises,
1079
01:18:53,145 --> 01:18:57,607
so let's make them visible
to declare this case a homicide."
1080
01:18:58,358 --> 01:19:02,070
"This way, we can get rid of the issue
of having to deal with the femicide."
1081
01:19:03,697 --> 01:19:05,949
Well, and this obviously helps them
1082
01:19:06,032 --> 01:19:08,493
take their story
in whatever direction they want.
1083
01:19:13,373 --> 01:19:16,251
The aggressor placed Mile
in such a way that
1084
01:19:16,334 --> 01:19:20,213
whoever entered the apartment,
they would see her body first.
1085
01:19:22,215 --> 01:19:25,510
This type of murder is classified
as "very personal,"
1086
01:19:25,594 --> 01:19:28,180
which is an inherent attribute
of femicides.
1087
01:19:29,347 --> 01:19:32,934
There is not only the murder
but an exercise of power.
1088
01:19:33,018 --> 01:19:35,312
The murderer wants to exhibit his victim,
1089
01:19:35,395 --> 01:19:38,857
exhibit his crime,
and send a social message of dominance
1090
01:19:38,940 --> 01:19:40,776
and hatred towards women.
1091
01:19:47,866 --> 01:19:51,328
The bruises found
on Mile's face and head, in particular.
1092
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:55,165
They were made
with such violent forcefulness,
1093
01:19:56,750 --> 01:19:59,628
which is also very characteristic
in femicides,
1094
01:20:00,545 --> 01:20:04,549
where there was usually a connection
between the aggressor and the victim.
1095
01:20:08,053 --> 01:20:11,306
It's been shown through pictures,
phone calls, and text messages
1096
01:20:11,389 --> 01:20:14,226
that Abraham had
a close relationship with Mile.
1097
01:20:15,769 --> 01:20:17,145
He was in love with Mile.
1098
01:20:17,229 --> 01:20:19,523
And although they had become
close friends,
1099
01:20:19,606 --> 01:20:22,526
she never agreed
to a romantic relationship with him.
1100
01:20:27,656 --> 01:20:32,244
I think my sister let this person
into her life…
1101
01:20:33,495 --> 01:20:34,538
and he…
1102
01:20:36,706 --> 01:20:38,208
betrayed her trust.
1103
01:20:46,132 --> 01:20:48,969
Yes, there's a difference
in how each body was treated.
1104
01:20:51,096 --> 01:20:53,807
This is a clear example.
She shows signs…
1105
01:20:53,890 --> 01:20:57,769
In Alejandra's case, we
don't see the same sort of intention
1106
01:20:57,853 --> 01:21:00,021
that we see with Mile and Yesenia.
1107
01:21:05,735 --> 01:21:07,404
Most of the incident took place
1108
01:21:07,487 --> 01:21:10,866
in an area called
the Benito Juárez District.
1109
01:21:11,366 --> 01:21:15,161
It's considered one of the safest places
to live in the city.
1110
01:21:22,043 --> 01:21:25,839
However, there are other places
of interest in this case,
1111
01:21:25,922 --> 01:21:28,008
like the famous Nápoles neighborhood.
1112
01:21:32,053 --> 01:21:36,141
It's a major hotspot for mid-level
sex trafficking in Mexico City.
1113
01:21:38,393 --> 01:21:40,353
It's an upper-middle-class neighborhood.
1114
01:21:41,146 --> 01:21:45,066
There are plenty of apartments
for women to stay at and conduct business,
1115
01:21:45,150 --> 01:21:48,778
with customers paying between 2,000
and 4,000 pesos
1116
01:21:48,862 --> 01:21:50,405
for an hour of service.
1117
01:21:52,782 --> 01:21:55,410
On Illinois Street, there is an address
1118
01:21:55,493 --> 01:21:58,580
that one witness claims Mile lived at.
1119
01:22:00,874 --> 01:22:04,085
In 2018, several victims
of foreign sex trafficking
1120
01:22:04,169 --> 01:22:06,671
were rescued
after a search warrant went out.
1121
01:22:08,340 --> 01:22:10,759
This afternoon,17 women were rescued
1122
01:22:10,842 --> 01:22:14,095
from sexual exploitationnear the Nápoles neighborhood.
1123
01:22:16,389 --> 01:22:20,560
However, the Attorney's Office
has not made a link between these events.
1124
01:22:26,274 --> 01:22:29,069
The hotels where this activity took place
1125
01:22:29,152 --> 01:22:33,365
are found on Patriotismo,
the Viaduct, and Revolución Avenues.
1126
01:22:36,993 --> 01:22:40,538
Traffickers can move victims
around this area easily,
1127
01:22:40,622 --> 01:22:42,040
within a matter of minutes.
1128
01:22:42,123 --> 01:22:43,708
Because of how close they are,
1129
01:22:43,792 --> 01:22:47,587
they can perform more services per day,
maximizing their profits.
1130
01:22:52,676 --> 01:22:55,053
Rememberto let me know immediately
1131
01:22:55,136 --> 01:22:56,596
as soon as you get there.
1132
01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:00,433
Let me know when they've paid youand that everything is okay.
1133
01:23:02,686 --> 01:23:05,105
And when you leave,as you know, make the deposit.
1134
01:23:05,188 --> 01:23:07,899
YESS: HE PAID.
1135
01:23:07,983 --> 01:23:10,902
This makes the case seem
much more like a hate crime,
1136
01:23:10,986 --> 01:23:14,155
relating it to a hyper-violent crime
like sex trafficking,
1137
01:23:14,239 --> 01:23:16,241
rather than hired assassins.
1138
01:23:18,243 --> 01:23:22,789
However, there are certain elements
that I can't yet explain myself.
1139
01:23:24,082 --> 01:23:28,253
The deposits they made in their final year
were close to one million pesos.
1140
01:23:28,336 --> 01:23:31,548
DAN: HE'LL PAY YOU 1,600 PESOS
AND 100 USD.
1141
01:23:31,631 --> 01:23:35,385
DAN: GO DEPOSIT RIGHT AWAY, PLEASE.
1142
01:23:35,468 --> 01:23:38,304
DAN: CONFIRM PAYMENT
1143
01:23:38,388 --> 01:23:41,474
Why would you choose
to lose that kind of money?
1144
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,330
Our children
don't tell us everything.
1145
01:24:04,831 --> 01:24:06,082
In the moment,
1146
01:24:08,251 --> 01:24:10,670
these things can be difficult to hear.
1147
01:24:11,171 --> 01:24:12,797
My daughter didn't trust me enough
1148
01:24:12,881 --> 01:24:16,301
to tell me if she really worked
in that type of business.
1149
01:24:24,517 --> 01:24:27,270
If she chose to take that path,
1150
01:24:29,939 --> 01:24:31,524
I wouldn't judge her.
1151
01:24:31,608 --> 01:24:33,026
I never would.
1152
01:24:35,737 --> 01:24:38,531
Only she knows why she made
the choices she made.
1153
01:24:40,158 --> 01:24:43,828
But this just leads to the authorities
saying that they deserved it.
1154
01:24:46,081 --> 01:24:47,290
This crime.
1155
01:24:47,373 --> 01:24:49,918
Being murdered, being tortured.
1156
01:24:55,215 --> 01:24:58,718
This is why we can't always accept
what the authorities say.
1157
01:25:00,386 --> 01:25:02,847
They're always looking
for the easiest solution.
1158
01:25:02,931 --> 01:25:04,682
"This is why it happened."
1159
01:25:07,977 --> 01:25:13,942
SEPTEMBER 4, 1996-JULY 31, 2015
1160
01:25:14,025 --> 01:25:16,569
Even if what they say is true,
1161
01:25:18,113 --> 01:25:21,074
she will never stop being my daughter.
1162
01:25:22,325 --> 01:25:25,286
I will always love her,
and there's nothing wrong
1163
01:25:25,370 --> 01:25:27,163
with the path she chose.
1164
01:25:27,956 --> 01:25:32,210
She had goals and dreams
that she wanted to reach for in life.
1165
01:25:34,212 --> 01:25:35,380
Both for herself
1166
01:25:36,798 --> 01:25:38,007
and for me.
1167
01:25:40,135 --> 01:25:41,761
It doesn't make me…
1168
01:25:44,722 --> 01:25:45,723
love her less.
1169
01:25:45,807 --> 01:25:47,350
It's the opposite.
1170
01:25:53,606 --> 01:25:57,277
They say that when you pass awayA street will be named after you
1171
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:59,571
And repair the world's damages
1172
01:26:02,198 --> 01:26:05,743
I would like a streetWhere you and I could walk together
1173
01:26:05,827 --> 01:26:09,664
Laughing, talking with wordsOnly we could understand
1174
01:26:11,958 --> 01:26:14,544
OCTOBER 20, 1983
JULY 31, 2015
1175
01:26:15,962 --> 01:26:17,380
A street named after you
1176
01:26:17,463 --> 01:26:20,592
Would not fix the issuesStill faced in this world
1177
01:26:22,969 --> 01:26:26,472
It would have to be a streetWhere a woman could walk safely
1178
01:26:30,018 --> 01:26:33,104
It would be a streetWhere anyone could walk at night
1179
01:26:33,188 --> 01:26:35,148
Without feeling afraid
1180
01:26:38,985 --> 01:26:44,157
A street to repair the world's damagesDoesn't exist in this land of darkness
1181
01:26:50,538 --> 01:26:53,124
DEATH IS NOT YET A PARTY
1182
01:27:19,609 --> 01:27:22,862
The phone calls that took place
before and after the incident
1183
01:27:22,946 --> 01:27:25,240
involved several other contacts.
1184
01:27:29,035 --> 01:27:30,495
In this case, we can see
1185
01:27:30,578 --> 01:27:33,623
that there is a network
of at least ten people involved.
1186
01:27:40,755 --> 01:27:46,177
All those numbers are also relevant
as there are shared contacts between them.
1187
01:27:48,429 --> 01:27:51,683
For example, "Pillo,"
"Dui," "Jordan," and "River."
1188
01:27:56,104 --> 01:28:01,276
STORM
1189
01:28:01,359 --> 01:28:03,945
The contact saved
as "Storm" draws my attention
1190
01:28:04,028 --> 01:28:07,407
as that's one of the nicknames
given to Arturo Bermúdez Zurita.
1191
01:28:11,494 --> 01:28:16,207
BERMÚDEZ, FROM BUREAUCRAT
TO "CAPTAIN STORM"
1192
01:28:16,291 --> 01:28:20,295
This is a shared contact
between both Omar and Abraham.
1193
01:28:21,212 --> 01:28:25,842
Storm called Abraham three times
a few hours after the incident.
1194
01:28:25,925 --> 01:28:29,721
STORM
1195
01:28:29,804 --> 01:28:32,181
What we have found
regarding Bermúdez Zurita,
1196
01:28:32,265 --> 01:28:34,142
from a journalistic investigation,
1197
01:28:34,225 --> 01:28:36,144
is that he owned
private security companies
1198
01:28:36,227 --> 01:28:39,480
in Mexico City,
some located only ten minutes
1199
01:28:39,564 --> 01:28:42,817
from where the Narvarte femicides
and homicides occurred.
1200
01:28:48,281 --> 01:28:51,409
Even though we presented this information
to the Attorney's Office,
1201
01:28:51,492 --> 01:28:53,828
they have shown no interest to this day.
1202
01:28:55,496 --> 01:28:59,709
At GPR, we subject our elementsto the most advanced training
1203
01:28:59,792 --> 01:29:03,046
to offer you complete,professional protection.
1204
01:29:04,797 --> 01:29:07,008
Did you know
that Arturo Bermúdez Zurita
1205
01:29:07,091 --> 01:29:09,761
owned private security companies
under his family's name,
1206
01:29:09,844 --> 01:29:12,555
which operated very closely
to the scene of the crime?
1207
01:29:13,348 --> 01:29:14,932
I didn't know where they were.
1208
01:29:15,016 --> 01:29:16,976
I don't know
where his companies are located.
1209
01:29:17,060 --> 01:29:19,812
I do know he has operated
private security companies
1210
01:29:19,896 --> 01:29:21,314
here in Mexico for many years.
1211
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:24,317
Do you think
Arturo Bermúdez Zurita
1212
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:25,985
could be capable of these acts?
1213
01:29:27,570 --> 01:29:29,030
No, no. I don't know.
1214
01:29:29,113 --> 01:29:32,867
I really don't know if Arturo
could be involved in that incident.
1215
01:29:35,286 --> 01:29:36,662
That's my clearest answer.
1216
01:29:36,746 --> 01:29:39,582
Because it's irrelevant
if I believe he could or not.
1217
01:29:39,665 --> 01:29:42,168
It's a matter
of whether I know or I don't know.
1218
01:29:42,668 --> 01:29:45,088
The truth is, I don't know.
1219
01:29:54,514 --> 01:29:56,432
Another element
that we had pointed out
1220
01:29:56,516 --> 01:29:58,643
was the persistent calls
that were conducted
1221
01:29:58,726 --> 01:30:00,561
around the time of the incident.
1222
01:30:06,109 --> 01:30:09,112
And the answer we got back
from the Chief of Investigative Police,
1223
01:30:09,195 --> 01:30:12,865
Raúl Peralta, was
that they were likely calls from the bank.
1224
01:30:12,949 --> 01:30:15,701
And he said this,
dripping with sarcasm and cynicism.
1225
01:30:20,957 --> 01:30:24,085
Eleven calls were made
from inside the apartment.
1226
01:30:24,168 --> 01:30:27,547
Considering that the event lasted
nearly 55 minutes,
1227
01:30:27,630 --> 01:30:29,841
if you add up the time from every call,
1228
01:30:29,924 --> 01:30:31,884
you have almost ten total minutes,
1229
01:30:31,968 --> 01:30:34,178
which means there was
a lot of communication going on
1230
01:30:34,262 --> 01:30:39,892
between the people inside the apartment
and another contact saved as "office."
1231
01:30:44,939 --> 01:30:48,025
The fact that Daniel
had saved this contact as "office"
1232
01:30:48,109 --> 01:30:53,614
suggests that this was someone
at a higher level in the chain of command.
1233
01:30:57,869 --> 01:30:59,954
It's also interesting
how the Attorney's Office,
1234
01:31:00,037 --> 01:31:02,373
when asking for information
about that number,
1235
01:31:02,457 --> 01:31:04,375
got several details wrong.
1236
01:31:04,459 --> 01:31:06,919
First, they wrote down
the first few digits incorrectly
1237
01:31:07,003 --> 01:31:09,839
when making their request
to the now-defunct Nextel.
1238
01:31:10,339 --> 01:31:12,717
But they actually made their request
to Telcel.
1239
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:16,554
We don't know why, if they knew
the number was registered with Nextel.
1240
01:31:17,472 --> 01:31:19,807
This time, they changed the digits again.
1241
01:31:21,309 --> 01:31:23,853
So they failed three times to properly
record the number,
1242
01:31:23,936 --> 01:31:27,148
which is crucial to understanding
how everything played out.
1243
01:31:30,318 --> 01:31:32,778
We lost our chance to know
who was behind that number
1244
01:31:32,862 --> 01:31:34,405
and what other connections they had
1245
01:31:34,489 --> 01:31:36,866
which could match up
with the rest of our list.
1246
01:31:42,747 --> 01:31:46,792
Not having made that request
correctly suggests dishonesty.
1247
01:31:48,961 --> 01:31:52,757
They were trying to remove information
that could bring us closer to the truth.
1248
01:31:57,345 --> 01:32:00,431
What were the others doing when
one of them was talking on the phone?
1249
01:32:01,849 --> 01:32:04,977
You could speculate anything.
I mean, absolutely anything.
1250
01:32:05,061 --> 01:32:07,980
They were either giving information
or receiving instructions.
1251
01:32:08,648 --> 01:32:10,483
Was it possible that one of the victims
1252
01:32:10,566 --> 01:32:13,027
was put on the phone to speak
with the perpetrators' contact?
1253
01:32:13,528 --> 01:32:14,570
Totally.
1254
01:32:15,488 --> 01:32:19,200
The message was so important
that they didn't interrupt their call.
1255
01:32:19,992 --> 01:32:22,119
There are calls that last over 100 seconds
1256
01:32:22,203 --> 01:32:25,039
and others that are only six
to seven seconds long.
1257
01:32:26,541 --> 01:32:29,919
They subdue them and get a call
with instructions, "Hurt them."
1258
01:32:36,717 --> 01:32:38,636
This is Rubén's autopsy.
1259
01:32:40,596 --> 01:32:43,140
He was apparently beaten
on the right cheek.
1260
01:32:50,481 --> 01:32:53,150
Two wounds were caused
by a sharp instrument,
1261
01:32:53,234 --> 01:32:55,528
injuring soft tissue on his body.
1262
01:33:15,756 --> 01:33:18,217
"Unknown female corpse A."
1263
01:33:19,135 --> 01:33:21,220
"The corpse features tattoos
with the words,
1264
01:33:21,304 --> 01:33:23,764
'Let's be real. Let's do the impossible.'"
1265
01:33:25,433 --> 01:33:28,936
"Another one reads, 'Rebellion is life.'"
1266
01:33:32,982 --> 01:33:36,944
The corpse presents six
oval-shaped cut wounds with sharp edges.
1267
01:33:37,445 --> 01:33:39,864
They're similar to the wounds
found on Rubén's neck.
1268
01:33:39,947 --> 01:33:41,866
-From the potato peeler.
-Yes.
1269
01:33:47,038 --> 01:33:50,583
These wounds were made with the intention
to harass and intimidate,
1270
01:33:50,666 --> 01:33:52,668
as well as causing…
1271
01:33:52,752 --> 01:33:54,629
-Suffering.
-Suffering, right.
1272
01:33:57,882 --> 01:34:00,718
The injuries ranged
from major to minor cuts,
1273
01:34:00,801 --> 01:34:03,763
covering both the front
and sides of her neck.
1274
01:34:07,475 --> 01:34:09,018
They practically slit her throat.
1275
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:16,567
Assuming the motive had to do
with Yesenia and Mile,
1276
01:34:17,234 --> 01:34:18,986
why did they torture Rubén?
1277
01:34:19,779 --> 01:34:21,322
Why torture Nadia?
1278
01:34:22,823 --> 01:34:26,619
They said, "No, no, no, no, no.
Why are you saying they were tortured?"
1279
01:34:26,702 --> 01:34:28,913
"Rubén's injuries were made
with a potato peeler."
1280
01:34:33,542 --> 01:34:36,128
"And these are all
non-life-threatening injuries."
1281
01:34:36,837 --> 01:34:38,589
And we told them, "Exactly!"
1282
01:34:38,673 --> 01:34:41,342
"We're saying it was torture
because they wanted to hurt him,
1283
01:34:41,425 --> 01:34:43,135
not kill him."
1284
01:34:47,848 --> 01:34:50,810
As more and more was revealed
from the autopsies,
1285
01:34:50,893 --> 01:34:54,647
we began to have a greater understanding
of how the incident played out.
1286
01:34:55,272 --> 01:34:57,358
It became clear that these injuries
1287
01:34:57,441 --> 01:35:00,653
were precisely the kind
used to make hostages talk.
1288
01:35:09,245 --> 01:35:11,997
Something that reinforces
this hypothesis
1289
01:35:12,498 --> 01:35:15,126
is the way
the victims' bodies were placed.
1290
01:35:35,521 --> 01:35:37,606
I write verses around your neck
1291
01:35:37,690 --> 01:35:40,609
So that the pressure of the ropeIs not exerted
1292
01:35:46,741 --> 01:35:49,160
The wind that ruffles through your hair
1293
01:35:49,243 --> 01:35:50,911
Inhales your thoughts
1294
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:54,915
It keeps your memories of the good times
1295
01:35:54,999 --> 01:35:56,584
And blows them across the land
1296
01:35:58,419 --> 01:36:00,588
It carries your thoughts everywhere
1297
01:36:01,255 --> 01:36:04,884
And deposits each memoryIn every place it touches
1298
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:16,729
The wind knocks at my window
1299
01:36:16,812 --> 01:36:18,105
And brings your thoughts to me
1300
01:36:20,524 --> 01:36:23,110
The neural signature of consciousness
1301
01:36:24,653 --> 01:36:25,863
A flash of light
1302
01:36:25,946 --> 01:36:26,947
FIGHT
RESIST
1303
01:36:27,031 --> 01:36:28,491
Continuous time
1304
01:37:17,289 --> 01:37:18,791
They're hiding something.
1305
01:37:19,291 --> 01:37:21,001
They're protecting someone.
1306
01:37:22,044 --> 01:37:24,463
They never thought that because of Rubén…
1307
01:37:25,089 --> 01:37:26,048
because…
1308
01:37:26,131 --> 01:37:28,342
It's hard to say this
1309
01:37:29,593 --> 01:37:31,887
because my daughter was killed, but…
1310
01:37:33,430 --> 01:37:36,058
I thank Rubén, Rubén Espinosa,
1311
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:38,269
for being there that day.
1312
01:37:40,980 --> 01:37:45,025
Because if he hadn't been there,
it would've been forgotten.
1313
01:37:45,776 --> 01:37:48,112
Just some other girls killed.
1314
01:37:51,991 --> 01:37:54,201
And thanks to him being there,
1315
01:37:55,703 --> 01:37:57,580
the case goes on and…
1316
01:37:59,915 --> 01:38:00,958
and we continue.
1317
01:38:01,041 --> 01:38:03,711
We continue this fight
and continue to realize
1318
01:38:03,794 --> 01:38:06,714
that the authorities
are doing their jobs wrong.
1319
01:38:11,802 --> 01:38:13,345
I want justice to be done.
1320
01:38:13,429 --> 01:38:16,473
Not just for my mom,
but for the others who were there too.
1321
01:38:19,226 --> 01:38:21,395
I just need to know why they did it.
1322
01:38:21,478 --> 01:38:23,105
What their motive was.
1323
01:38:36,368 --> 01:38:38,037
Because they won't talk.
1324
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:41,624
They won't say who sent them
or who gave them their orders.
1325
01:38:42,917 --> 01:38:45,586
They just went in and did their job.
1326
01:38:45,669 --> 01:38:46,837
That's all we know.
1327
01:38:52,343 --> 01:38:57,389
From the beginning, we've been saying
that there's a lot more to this story.
1328
01:39:00,017 --> 01:39:02,686
It's been about seven years
since the multiple homicide
1329
01:39:02,770 --> 01:39:06,607
that claimed the lives of five people
in an apartment in Narvarte.
1330
01:39:06,690 --> 01:39:07,816
Today, the case's lawyers…
1331
01:39:07,900 --> 01:39:11,862
The participation of at least
five visible people in the incident,
1332
01:39:11,946 --> 01:39:14,657
not just the three
that have already been arrested.
1333
01:39:15,366 --> 01:39:18,702
They claim that there were more peopleinvolved in the incident.
1334
01:39:20,496 --> 01:39:21,789
We have been lied to,
1335
01:39:21,872 --> 01:39:24,625
victimized, and stigmatized
over and over again.
1336
01:39:25,501 --> 01:39:29,046
How much of this is ineptitude,
and how much of this is a cover-up?
1337
01:39:29,129 --> 01:39:31,548
How did they forget to check key details?
1338
01:39:31,632 --> 01:39:33,509
Did they forget to care about this case?
1339
01:39:34,385 --> 01:39:36,220
Did they think we weren't going to notice?
1340
01:39:37,137 --> 01:39:39,014
Did they think
we were just going to move on?
1341
01:39:39,098 --> 01:39:41,809
Do they think we're afraid of them?
Because we're not.
1342
01:39:51,193 --> 01:39:53,028
Their leaders are hiding.
1343
01:39:54,321 --> 01:39:56,115
There are more people behind this.
1344
01:39:57,950 --> 01:39:59,159
They're protecting someone.
1345
01:40:00,911 --> 01:40:03,163
I don't know how I writeWithout screaming
1346
01:40:13,882 --> 01:40:16,510
The violence against our beloved Nadia
1347
01:40:21,682 --> 01:40:23,767
The violence against Rubén
1348
01:40:27,646 --> 01:40:29,732
The violence against Yesenia
1349
01:40:35,029 --> 01:40:37,114
Alejandra, and Mile
1350
01:40:38,615 --> 01:40:40,284
Institutional violence followed
1351
01:40:41,744 --> 01:40:43,328
Mancera, what about Narvarte?
1352
01:40:44,663 --> 01:40:46,290
-Are you with the press?
-Yes.
1353
01:40:46,373 --> 01:40:48,375
We talked to the press.
We didn't see you.
1354
01:40:48,459 --> 01:40:50,210
When are you going to
do something?
1355
01:40:51,462 --> 01:40:52,504
You're useless!
1356
01:40:54,590 --> 01:40:56,925
Misuse of resourcesand organized crime
1357
01:40:57,009 --> 01:40:58,761
are among the chargesin the arrest warrant
1358
01:40:58,844 --> 01:41:02,639
against Javier Duarte,governor of Veracruz.
1359
01:41:03,223 --> 01:41:07,352
These charges also includethe creation of 33 ghost companies,
1360
01:41:07,436 --> 01:41:09,980
used for the acquisition of real estate.
1361
01:41:10,064 --> 01:41:16,195
THE HEARING WAS BECAUSE OF MY COMPLAINTS
MIGUEL ÁNGEL YUNES, GOVERNOR OF VERACRUZ
1362
01:41:19,865 --> 01:41:21,867
I will inevitably
get out of this place.
1363
01:41:21,950 --> 01:41:25,412
I hope to be free in the near future.
1364
01:41:32,711 --> 01:41:35,589
We are in the presence of two crimes.
1365
01:41:35,672 --> 01:41:39,176
That day at 2:00 p.m. at the apartment
on Luz Saviñón Street,
1366
01:41:39,259 --> 01:41:41,970
where the brutal murder
of five people took place.
1367
01:41:46,016 --> 01:41:49,103
And later, when this crime
was discovered by the authorities,
1368
01:41:49,186 --> 01:41:52,189
another crime was committed,
a state crime.
1369
01:41:56,318 --> 01:41:58,028
The meddling of information.
1370
01:42:01,406 --> 01:42:04,451
The destruction
and concealment of evidence.
1371
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:09,790
Lying to the victims' families.
1372
01:42:10,791 --> 01:42:13,293
As well as lying to the general public.
1373
01:42:16,588 --> 01:42:18,132
They're always making promises,
1374
01:42:18,215 --> 01:42:20,509
saying that they'll do more research.
1375
01:42:22,136 --> 01:42:26,306
But they never do anything,
and we never find out what happened
1376
01:42:26,390 --> 01:42:27,850
or who was involved.
1377
01:42:30,269 --> 01:42:32,104
There's no obvious motive.
1378
01:42:32,187 --> 01:42:36,275
And as time goes on,
there's more and more social demand
1379
01:42:36,358 --> 01:42:40,863
to find out who, when, where, and how,
1380
01:42:40,946 --> 01:42:42,573
but, above all, why.
1381
01:42:43,949 --> 01:42:46,368
Why does it seem
that this Attorney's Office
1382
01:42:46,451 --> 01:42:48,370
and the previous one are in collusion?
1383
01:42:49,538 --> 01:42:53,834
In favor of protecting the accused
and those who remain to be accused?
1384
01:43:05,053 --> 01:43:06,638
Why does their judicial conduct
1385
01:43:06,722 --> 01:43:09,266
resist clarifying
the innumerable contradictions
1386
01:43:09,349 --> 01:43:11,685
that have been bubbling up over time?
1387
01:43:17,232 --> 01:43:21,278
The lack of information
is itself a kind of torture.
1388
01:43:23,780 --> 01:43:26,825
It's as if a bullet pierced my heart
for the second time
1389
01:43:26,909 --> 01:43:29,494
since a bullet pierced my daughter's head,
1390
01:43:33,207 --> 01:43:35,876
ending her life of brilliance and bravery.
1391
01:43:35,959 --> 01:43:38,462
That bullet did not stay there
in those walls
1392
01:43:38,545 --> 01:43:42,341
but pierced through my heart
and the hearts of all of us who loved her.
1393
01:43:53,644 --> 01:43:54,895
NO TO SILENCE
1394
01:43:54,978 --> 01:43:56,772
NO MORE FEMICIDES
OR JOURNALISTS KILLED
1395
01:43:58,941 --> 01:44:00,859
And that's what
the so-called authorities
1396
01:44:00,943 --> 01:44:02,277
don't understand.
1397
01:44:08,617 --> 01:44:12,246
If you just sit there and tell me
it was all because of human trafficking,
1398
01:44:12,329 --> 01:44:13,413
guess what?
1399
01:44:13,914 --> 01:44:16,208
You're still going to have to get
to the bottom of this
1400
01:44:16,291 --> 01:44:18,335
and find those human traffickers.
1401
01:44:18,835 --> 01:44:21,380
JULY 31, 2015
7:02 P.M.
1402
01:44:27,302 --> 01:44:28,762
Refusing to do your job
1403
01:44:28,845 --> 01:44:31,848
is as good as being
an accomplice to the murderers.
1404
01:44:40,482 --> 01:44:44,069
If you tell me it involves Veracruz,
you're still going to have to find out
1405
01:44:44,152 --> 01:44:46,321
who in Veracruz is responsible for this.
1406
01:44:46,405 --> 01:44:48,323
If you tell me it was a drug dispute,
1407
01:44:48,407 --> 01:44:51,451
then you're gonna have to confront
the organized cartels.
1408
01:44:53,537 --> 01:44:56,957
I don't know which of those three motives
would be easier for them to handle.
1409
01:45:09,469 --> 01:45:12,347
I don't knowHow I write without screaming
1410
01:45:20,564 --> 01:45:23,233
WE THANK THE FAMILIES OF MILE,
YESENIA, ALEJANDRA, NADIA, AND RUBÉN
1411
01:45:23,317 --> 01:45:25,944
FOR ALLOWING US TO JOIN THEM
IN THEIR SEARCH FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE.
1412
01:45:26,028 --> 01:45:27,487
YOU HAVE OUR SUPPORT AND ADMIRATION.
1413
01:48:18,325 --> 01:48:22,662
