That night, I had a nightmare.
I saw her body in a cave, where men dressed in white removed her organs.
I described my dream to one of my sons.
"Don't worry, Mommy."
"It was just a nightmare."
But it wasn't.
That very same night, I would discover
it was all too real.
JULY 31, 2015
Five people found dead inside apartment! Read it here first!
We turn now to Mexico, where the last few hours
have been filled with outrage over the murder of a photojournalist.
Hundreds of people across the country have been protesting
to demand justice for their colleague and the four women murdered alongside him.
Nadia, as well as Rubén,
had accused the governor of Veracruz as the author of threats against them.
Rubén Espinosa Becerril had gone public
about being a target of political threats,
so he moved out of the State of Veracruz to Mexico City.
When we got the message that it had happened in Mexico City,
in a neighborhood like Narvarte,
in broad daylight, against two politically displaced people,
as well as against three other women,
it was very disturbing and caused not fear but terror.
STATE-SANCTIONED MURDER
Other victims include a woman of Colombian origin,
a beauty school student, and a domestic worker.
They're focusing more on saying,
"The girls did bad things," and, "The girls are to blame."
They used kitchen knives, cables, tape, firearms,
and shot the victims in the back of the head.
Each one of the victims sustained
a head wound caused by gunshots from a nine-millimeter caliber firearm.
Authorities have claimed robbery as a motive
for the killings to the press.
Although they were not able to elaborate on what was allegedly stolen
from the apartment.
We still don't have information on what was stolen.
And I will ask the authorities what they're afraid of
and who they're covering for.
Since we no longer trust the authorities, we'll investigate what happened ourselves.
They say it was all a coincidence that they were all there together.
But is it really a coincidence or the perfect crime?
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT: THE NARVARTE CASE
She could always sense things. Always.
The last time we went to Acapulco, she seemed sad, depressed.
Like in this photo, she wanted to smile, but her eyes, they look swollen and sad.
After a few drinks, they were all chatting, and my mom said,
"I'm not going to live past 40, and I'll be broadcast on TV."
The third victim was a domestic worker originally from the State of Mexico.
NAUCALPAN, STATE OF MEXICO
From the beginning, the press would set my mom aside,
always referring to her as "the domestic worker."
They never even said her name, Alejandra.
I honestly don't know who referred my mom to the apartment building.
All she said was, "I have a cleaning job in Narvarte tomorrow."
"Take care of Arly."
I remember that morning, she woke me up,
gave me a kiss and said, "God bless you." And she left.
7-31-2015
I tried calling her, and it did ring at first,
but then it stopped.
I called her at 3:00 p.m.
According to the records,
that's the exact time they were all killed.
I called her at the same time they were being murdered.
I need to know what happened to my mom. She was just working.
She wasn't doing anything else.
YOUR MEMORY IS LIFE #JU5TICE
Congratulations! Lex told me you just had a nose job.
Now you can finally be a hot bitch, just like us!
That was Yesenia's voice.
And sometimes…
I listen to her voicemails…
…because I'm afraid I'll forget what her voice sounds like,
her laughter,
her bad language.
#FRIENDS #LOVEYOU
And holding her phone…
is like touching her because…
she'd always do this
when she was texting.
This is the last phone I saw her with.
She was invited to Mexico,
and I told her Mexico City is very dangerous
and asked how she could go there alone.
But if I told her no, she'd go anyways.
I just wanted to stay in touch.
Then she sent me the address in Narvarte.
She said it was the safest place for her to be.
She said it was quieter, and she didn't feel unsafe there.
She looked happy. With no issues whatsoever.
Yesenia was 18 years old.
And this is the only picture of them together, Mile and Yesenia.
Mile lived in that apartment for a short time.
Yesenia hadn't known her long.
Mile was a beautiful woman, older than Yesenia.
So I imagine Mile was what she wanted to be in the future.
On the day of the murders, the perpetrators used a red Mustang
belonging to the Colombian, Mile Virginia Martín.
However, everyone in the apartment knew her as "Nicole"
and was unaware of what she did for a living.
-There you go. -Thanks.
You got it.
Fifteen days before she died,
I was working at La Virgen in Patio Bonito, selling sweets.
It was a gray morning. It was raining.
The last day I talked to her,
she told me she was gonna get me out of selling sweets.
As she spoke to me, I could see the pain she felt from seeing me selling that.
I told her not to worry about it because I loved my job.
That was the last time I had a heart-to-heart with her,
and it was all because of my candy.
That was the last time I talked to her.
"Mile."
"My angel."
"I miss you so much."
"It's been more than six years with no justice and without knowing
exactly what happened on July 31, 2015."
"The day your life was taken away and your wings were savagely clipped."
"There are no words and no actions
that can justify those criminals
who shut your eyes forever."
"I want the world to know how proud we are of you."
"You were a wonderful sister and a strong warrior."
My sister lived here until she was 12.
Ever since then, she never came back here again.
She said goodbye to us.
She said she had some sort of a modeling contract.
Good morning, everybody.
When we talked to her, she sounded very positive
"I'm living in a nice place in a good neighborhood."
"I already bought a new car."
One of the perpetrators fled in a car belonging to the Colombian.
BEING COLOMBIAN IS NOT A CRIME #JU5TICE
In many places, Colombians are labeled
and blamed for certain things.
She was used by the perpetrator
to divert attention away from who actually did it.
"She's Colombian. She's just a drug dealer."
They've always used these things against Colombians to make us look bad
and treat us as criminals.
They tried to do that with my sister, and it's just not right.
We think it had something to do with the journalists.
On Monday, family and friends laid the slain Mexican journalist to rest.
He had sought protection from threats made in the State of Veracruz.
Rubén, brother,
I dared to show up today because I know that's what you would have wanted.
You fought for all of us and left as a warrior.
When I found out he was already here in Mexico City,
I asked him what was wrong
because normally, he would let us know that he was coming to the city,
but this time, he didn't.
He said that things in Xalapa were tough
and he didn't know how long he was gonna stay here.
He asked me not to tell our mother, and he had interviews to attend to, but…
Things are tough in Veracruz, as we all know.
Especially if you criticize Javier Duarte's bad government.
I fled because I was being intimidated.
Something was wrong in Xalapa.
I knew it wasn't the calmest, safest place to be,
but I could never imagine the magnitude of what Rubén was going through.
I met Rubén in Veracruz. In Xalapa.
This was in 2009.
PHOTOJOURNALIST
He had moved there to look for a job opportunity…
…and found one covering the Duarte campaign,
back when he was running for governor.
He was a photographer covering his whole campaign.
One, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine…
Action!
A close friend of mine who owned a digital media outlet
told me he found a photojournalist who could cover my campaign.
And Rubén was essentially part of that press staff.
Rubén made his voice heard. He was a rebel.
He didn't take things lying down, and they didn't appreciate that at all.
They didn't want to deal with him, so they hounded him
until he was out of a job.
So Rubén began knocking on doors of other news outlets,
and that's when he had his awakening.
LAND AND LIBERTY
This hall was Rubén Espinosa's office for about four years.
Rubén always sat here.
The first of December 2010, I swore in as the constitutional governor
of the Free and Sovereign State of Veracruz of Ignacio de la Llave.
I swear to perform my duties as governor,
which the people have bestowed upon me, with loyalty and patriotism.
Back then, I was a young, 36-year-old man.
That's when the hell of Duarte began.
But let's not forget that the hell of Bermúdez Zurita also began.
As the person overseeing Veracruz's Department of Public Safety,
I appoint Arturo Bermúdez Zurita.
"Captain Storm" was his nickname inside the organization.
A dark character.
Machiavellian, narcissistic, arrogant.
Authoritarian.
The truth is that Arturo gained my trust.
And not only my trust but my affection.
You will be the emissaries of the work we are doing.
Our society, which we serve, will trust our state police once again.
Rubén had a photo and document catalog and files of missing persons.
MISSING
Of teachers' protests.
Of unfinished public work. Everything.
But he chose that photograph.
PROCESO VERACRUZ, STATE WITHOUT LAW
Neither him nor I thought it'd make that front cover.
My little governor's hat.
Good picture.
I really like it.
I have it framed.
-Oh, really? Where? -Yeah.
Well, it's somewhere.
I don't know where.
Day after day, we live with nonexistent justice.
There's no real justice in this state.
The state institutions don't exist.
What prevails in this state is corruption. What prevails is fear.
What prevails is deceit.
Take off your armor and come here, motherfuckers!
We're workers!
My name is Nadia Vera.
We will hold Javier Duarte de Ochoa, state governor, and his whole cabinet
entirely accountable for what could happen to those of us involved
in organized movements,
whether they be student, academic, or civil society as a whole.
We've seen an increase in the number of disappearances since 2010
when Duarte took office.
Three state police officers took them, and we haven't heard from them since.
We are here representing all the mothers who have lost a loved one.
Government officials, do your job!
We need to do something.
We can't have children living here, expecting to be kidnapped.
This is her at a demonstration.
She's right up front. She organized it.
-They took them alive! -We want them alive!
I THINK… THEREFORE, THEY MAKE ME DISAPPEAR!
When violence starts to unfold,
I worry that we turn into exactly what they want us to be.
Don't forget all of our comrades who've been killed for telling the truth!
This is why we're forced to wear hoods outside.
This is an object from the Zapatista protest.
Since she's from Chiapas, she bought this ski mask
and wore it in the Veracruz demonstrations.
You're sold like merchandise.
Women are sold into sex trafficking.
Young people are taken to become cartel members.
"Arm yourself and be violent Beautifully violent"
"Until everything bursts"
Disappearances are occurring on a daily basis.
Murders, kidnapping, violence…
We rented a room in a hotel right in front of the main plaza.
Then we put out a large poster that said…
It said…
"Duarte, we're watching you."
"The people don't forgive you."
We tied it up, put it out, and ran.
We were caught by the police
as well as undercover agents known as "the Ears."
They threatened to kill us and told us we were being detained
without any prior records.
-No press, no cameras, nothing. -No press, no cameras, nothing at all.
They were ready to really hurt us until our savior, Rubén…
appeared with his giant camera and started capturing everything.
Clack! Tack! Tack! Tack Tack Tack!
"I'm with the press. Where are you taking them?"
Nadia grabbed him and said, "You, come here and take pictures, quick!"
"They're taking them!"
She was very excited when she met him.
She said, "I just met this photographer who works at Proceso Magazine."
We just wanted to demonstrate peacefully, but they shoved us and forced us to react.
I found a photographer and asked him to take pictures.
And thanks to him and his camera taking those pictures,
they stopped beating peaceful protesters.
There were also photos published of Nadia's arrest.
I was detained by undercover police officers
dressed in civilian clothing.
They beat me and took me away in a patrol car.
They were ordered to round us up and identify us to know who was involved.
In the end, it was still a forced disappearance.
They didn't arrest me,
but they did arrest two other women from our group in the San José quarters,
where they were stripped of their clothing
and forced to do squats, up and down, while the officers watched.
There's so much humiliation of women
all because women are seen as the spoils of war,
and are treated as such.
I continued taking pictures until a Veracruz government employee
approached me.
He grabbed me by the neck and told me to stop taking pictures.
And if I didn't, I'd end up like my friend Regina Martínez.
7-7-1963 4-28-2012
The first red flag was the murder of Regina Martínez.
Rubén called me and said we should get together soon
because, by the look of things, any one of us could've been next.
JUSTICE FOR REGINA MARTÍNEZ
Murderers!
DEFENDING YOUR MEMORY
JUSTICE FOR REGINA MARTÍNEZ
Honestly, us journalists aren't used to demonstrations.
It shouldn't be normal for us.
Javier Duarte will be remembered by our collective memory
for the administration in which the most journalists have been murdered.
During his term, 17 journalists were murdered.
Miguel Ángel López.
Justice!
Misael López Solana.
Justice!
Duarte's government was heavily complicit,
with instructions coming from inside the government
to murder journalists or make them disappear.
Regina Martínez.
Justice!
-Guillermo Luna. -Justice!
JUSTICE FOR GOYO
This is what Rubén was protesting.
And it ultimately led him to be targeted by Bermúdez Zurita.
Yolanda Ordaz.
Justice!
Gabriel Huge Córdova.
Justice!
Esteban Rodríguez.
Justice!
Víctor Manuel Báez Chino.
Justice!
Gregorio Jiménez.
Justice!
Respectfully, we would like to address
our friends from the press
and would like to make it known…
DO YOUR JOBS #WEWANTHIMALIVE
We are living in a state of absolute violence,
where the real danger comes from simply being a young person.
Nadia lived in this apartment building.
Here, we're the problem and an inconvenience,
both to the government and the… and the cartel.
This is where they broke into her home.
FIGHT RESIST
She was very messy.
Her stuff was always lying all over the place.
But the fact that her cables had been properly rolled up
was what made her realize someone had been there.
They cleaned absolutely everything.
They cleaned her bathroom, folded her clothes,
organized her personal things.
They left everything neat.
Completely spotless.
She noticed the shower floor was wet.
Someone took a shower in her bathroom.
They were saying, "We know who you are."
"We know where you live."
"We can."
After that, she thought, "I really don't want this."
"I don't want to be afraid anymore."
"I can't go home by myself anymore."
"So I'm leaving this place."
"I can't be here anymore."
And she left because she wanted to.
Because everyone has the right to a life of peace.
To enjoy what they want.
To relax and ride a bike, if they want.
So she went to Mexico City.
FIGHT RESIST
When my daughter came home…
we took a long walk to the Lakes of Montebello.
That was our last trip together as a family.
Since that day, I couldn't come here.
It reminded me too much of her, and I needed time to heal.
I PLANT YOUR HEART IN THIS NOTEBOOK…
I needed to make some sort of ritual to bring me back.
To speak with her through the water,
through the forest,
and put our minds at ease.
Your departure from Veracruz, Rubén, what conditions led to that decision?
I fled because I was being intimidated.
The attack on the students had just happened,
where they were beaten with machetes.
Obviously, we did not support Duarte's regime.
The demonstrations were becoming more and more intense.
As a consequence,
the state increased its repressive activities…
and began spying on people
They broke into people's houses.
The attack happened at night, around one o'clock.
I saw the police lights.
Just eight people?
I went inside to check on my friends.
Almost all of them were in shock.
Take a look at the boys, please? They're very badly injured.
-Yeah, of course. -Hey there.
Just relax and lay down.
Rubén arrived asking questions, but he wasn't looking for a news story.
More like, "Who did this? Is everyone okay? What happened here?"
He wasn't doing it for work. They were his friends.
We were his friends.
Don't you have any family?
This attack was carried out by a group of ten men,
armed with high-caliber weapons,
machetes, bats, and sticks.
They beat and stabbed the young men with machetes
as they were celebrating a birthday.
We place full blame on Governor Javier Duarte de Ochoa
and Secretary of Public Safety Arturo Bermúdez Zurita.
Young men were beaten, according to official reports.
-They said they didn't receive assistance. -Uh, no. The situation didn't call for it.
Because this isn't the first time this has happened.
In Coatzacoalcos, there are also reports of young people disappearing.
And there seems to be connections between police activity and--
Well, it's very easy to point fingers.
What I can tell you is that we're doing our work properly.
The Attorney's Office is still investigating.
The young men said they were cooking food for poor children.
Their neighbors said they were partying very loudly.
I'm not in a position to say anything for sure,
but I can tell you we strongly deny that the Department of Public Safety
took any part in the incident.
I mean, we were reading them loud and clear.
They were totally prepared to terminate,
kill, assassinate the few they had in their sights.
They already knew where I lived. They had my phone number.
They knew who I talked to, who I dated, where I worked.
Rubén started being followed home by officers dressed in civilian clothing.
In the morning, there was someone staring at me.
I didn't think much of it, so I went to work as I normally do.
When I stepped outside, I saw three men
standing at the corner of my house next to a running taxi.
When I looked up, I noticed one of them took a picture of me
and signals to me saying, like, "What's up?"
Rubén called me and said, "I need to see you."
"Sure, let's meet tonight."
"No, right now."
"Oh wow," I thought. "What could be so important?"
As I walked past them, they approached me
and pushed me with their bodies… blocking my path.
-They wanted you to know they were there? -That he was there.
-And it was you they were after? -Yeah, that's it.
And while they were targeting us,
the pressure starts to burst, starting with Rubén.
In this current state of things,
we can't take aggression or intimidation lightly.
Because we never know how it could escalate.
MEXICO CITY
I was riding the subway, right at Tacubaya station.
When all of a sudden, I see Rubén walking right in front of me,
going the opposite way.
And I said, "Holy shit, that's Rubén!"
As soon as I got off the subway, I called him and asked,
"What are you doing here?" I was complaining to him.
But then he told me everything.
He told me about the threats and how he was feeling scared.
It's been difficult for me, mentally, emotionally, and even economically.
Enough with the martyrs and heroes.
You have to be human enough to understand
that there are things you can't fix overnight.
And we're much more useful alive than dead.
When Rubén arrived in Mexico City, he immediately connected with Nadia,
since she had been there for a few months already.
I mean, he stayed in a few different places.
He stayed at my house. He stayed with another friend.
He stayed at Nadia's place.
-I think he stayed there a few times. -He did.
APARTMENT FOR RENT 3 ROOMS
Nadia started living in the apartment on Luz Saviñón.
One of the roommates had just left the apartment,
so they were looking for someone else to move in.
Nadia contacted them online, and she moved in.
Without knowing any of them previously.
We will hold Javier Duarte de Ochoa, state governor,
and his whole cabinet entirely accountable
for what could happen to those of us involved
in organized movements,
whether they be student, academic, or civil society as a whole.
We want to emphasize that the state is completely responsible for our safety.
Because they are the ones who are ordering our repression.
#JUSTICE FOR THE 5
The message sent was that Duarte's tentacles could reach everywhere.
President Enrique Peña Nieto spoke out
on the multiple homicide case in Narvarte.
Without a doubt, the authorities and prosecutors are fully committed
to the investigation and capture of the perpetrators.
On the same matter, the government doubled down,
saying that the search would exhaust all possible lines of investigation.
We must exhaust all options.
Miguel Ángel Mancera had been the city's attorney general.
However, he gave his position to his personal secretary.
Rodolfo Fernando Ríos Garza,
Federal District Attorney General's Office.
A man without much experience in law enforcement,
whose only merit was being a friend of Miguel Ángel Mancera.
There was enormous pressure put on the government of Miguel Ángel Mancera
and his attorney's office to get to the bottom of this crime.
JOURNALIST KILLER
First, we have to wait
for all the facts of this case to come to light.
This situation is one completely foreign to the government of Veracruz.
It's even being overseen by a government belonging to a different political party.
We met Prosecutor Ríos Garza with numerous journalist organizations
to try to do some damage control.
Let me play some audio from that day.
I can't disclose too much information,
but the events that took place
had nothing to do with journalistic activity.
The crime was not directed at Rubén Espinosa.
We were surprised by him saying that it wasn't about Rubén
or his work as a journalist.
It felt like they said that just to eliminate it as an option.
To throw out that line of investigation.
I believe that the meeting with Rodolfo Ríos
was the starting point for a whole strategy of investigation,
manipulation,
and establishing a narrative.
THEY CANNOT KILL THE TRUTH
Rubén Espinosa Becerril was identified by his relatives,
who said that his return to Mexico City was due to the search
for new opportunities
as professional photographer,
an activity that he developed in Veracruz.
He was a fellow reporter!
Please, quiet down. Keep calm. I agree that we had…
Rubén Espinosa didn't leave Veracruz.
He fled Veracruz.
He pointed directly to Governor Javier Duarte
as the reason for his integrity.
What can you tell us? I don't believe that.
In regards to this-- All right. All right. Let me speak.
It's very clear that all lines of investigation are still open.
Our greatest concern…
is that the attorney and this government keep protecting murderers.
The most likely scenario that we see
is that they will arrest the Toms, Dicks, and Harrys, as we joked about.
Three complete nobodies.
-Free of wrongdoing. -Yeah. Without fear of wrongdoing.
The attorney would present them as the perpetrators
with fabricated stories.
He'll mention drugs. He'll mention alcohol.
Anything that will rationalize the crime.
This video shows the alleged perpetrators
of the multiple homicide
making their escape through the Narvarte neighborhood.
The three criminals, found leaving the apartment
after the murder of five people, have been identified,
arrested, and detained.
The first man, seen carrying a suitcase, is Chef Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez.
Forensics found a fingerprint
and compared it to fingerprints in the Attorney's Office's database.
And the result was positive.
Pacheco Gutiérrez, had previously been imprisoned
for robbery and rape.
Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez, the man who snitched on his accomplices.
He identified the killers after being shown pictures of suspects.
The man in the red Mustang was a former officer
of Mexico City's police force, Abraham Torres Tranquilino.
Abraham Torres Tranquilino is an ex-cop.
In 2011, he was prosecuted for torture, alongside several other police officers,
when he submerged a criminal's head in water.
One of the victims knew at least one of the killers
In the center, we see Colombian Mile Virginia Martín.
And on the far right of this photo, we see Abraham Torres Tranquilino,
now accused of her murder.
The Capital's Attorney's Office announced
the arrest of a man identified as César Omar Martínez,
the third suspect allegedly involved in the multiple homicide in Narvarte.
He's the last to exit the building,
wearing a white T-shirt and walking across the street.
His name is César Omar Martínez Zendejas.
He is 32 years old and is a resident of Mexico City.
It's been reported that his phone made calls
in the same area, day, and time as the crime.
Their logic was that three people show up in the main security camera
on Luz Saviñón.
"Three people claimed they were in that place."
"That's all the evidence I need."
The Prosecutor's Office maintains that only three people
were involved in the multiple homicide.
Deputy Prosecutor Garrido said, "I've identified the perpetrators."
"And what the law requires of me is to prove who takes the life of a person."
-"Whoever takes the life of a person." -Mm-hmm.
And then he says,
"Here. Where is the motivation?" I mean, where do you…?
And we told him, "If this is the only proof you have,
you can't even figure out which of the three men shot the gun?"
"No, no, no. We already have this case solved."
"What else do you want?" "Well, we want the truth."
And he says, "No."
"What you're asking me for is a fairy tale."
According to the investigations or what the Attorney's Office tells you,
your head starts writing a script that might not even exist.
There's no logic to it.
We want to know every detail,
but we still don't know what really happened.
All we're asking for is that justice gets carried out
and that there will be no impunity.
The best thing they could do for us at this point would be to tell us,
"We're not gonna do this anymore."
NARVARTE CASE
Now that we have all the preliminary information,
we've decided to seek out specialists, forensic experts…
anyone who can analyze the information we have
and allow us to correct the course of this investigation.
NARVARTE CASE
In an investigation, there must be a problem.
The lines of investigation serve as strategies,
or the solutions, to solving said problem.
Who was there? Who did it? Why did they do it?
And if you see it reflected in a legal matter,
then those answers solve the problem.
They're facts.
"…intended to intervene in invasions of…"
"Based on the absence of traces of forced entry into the property,
it is established that the perpetrators had access."
There was no forced entry.
It's important to analyze the Narvarte case
from the perspective of a femicide.
If it is left as a homicide,
then all the violence that was exercised upon those four women… will fade away.
This implies that key evidence for the investigation is lost.
"Partial, reddish blood-like stains."
In principle, homicide is the type of investigation easiest to solve.
That's because homicides leave behind large amounts of traces,
starting with the corpse.
"Partial, reddish blood-like stains
are caused by footprints with no visible pattern or design."
There's no individual description of the type and size of each shoe.
But that shoe print can still help us identify and match
with different footprints.
When Daniel got arrested, we assumed they'd retrieved the shoe
and checked to see if his shoe size matched the one found at the crime scene.
-And their reaction was, "Uh." -Yeah. It was like…
"We should write this down."
-Two days later, they got a warrant. -Of course. Obviously.
But 20 days had already gone by since his arrest.
Obviously, they didn't find anything.
I don't know why there are still authorities who don't think
that victims should be allowed access into their own investigation.
Exactly. It's also one of the principles of due diligence,
the active involvement of victims and their families.
Yes.
First of all, they should be allowed to provide information
they believe to be relevant or pertinent
but also be allowed to access info gathered in the investigation.
A black-and-white photograph is ridiculous.
A copy of a copy.
That's what people see.
A copy of the original… with nothing new.
I also believe that this hinders people's right to justice.
I don't want to say it's done intentionally,
but it is systematic.
When an investigation begins,
you only have one chance to get things right.
And if it's not done properly,
it can mark the beginning of an investigation with deficiencies.
This can plant the seed of impunity.
Daniel was arrested
because they found a fingerprint in the closet.
Then the Attorney's Office leaks his confession to the press.
"The confession of the Narvarte case killer."
Ciro in the Morning.
The news program with the best
and brightest radio audience in the country.
Here, I have the statement of Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez,
and I'm going to read it as is, without comments.
"I wish to state that I accept, in part,
the charges made against me
and will detail what occurred as follows."
"On July 31, 2015,
I received a call via my Nextel cell phone from a friend of mine, José Abraham."
"José Abraham."
"He offered me an invitation, saying…"
"'What's up, Daniel?' You want to fuck the Colocha?'"
"He was referring to a Colombian named Nicole."
In Mile's case, every time you want to criminalize someone,
you give them a nickname.
"Mile, aka Nicole."
It's the same way they'd refer to her as "the Colombian woman."
"He also told me he was going to meet with Omar."
"Outside the building, Abraham rang the intercom,
and Nicole answered and came to the door."
"Then we entered the building and took the elevator to apartment 401."
"We followed Nicole into the apartment."
"The door to the middle bedroom was open,
and there was a guy and a girl laying on the bed."
"Nicole returned with another woman from the main bedroom."
"The couple in the middle bedroom came out to the living room as well."
"There were five men and three women in the room."
"We began to talk."
"Ten minutes later, a larger woman with light skin came in
and began to clean the kitchen and do chores."
"I was chatting with the girl Nicole had brought out of the master bedroom,
and I was asking her if we were going to 'get down to business,'
referring to whether or not we were going to engage in sexual intercourse."
"She said yes, and that it would cost 1,800 pesos."
The statement seems unlikely as there is no evidence
on the victims' bodies that indicates they'd had sexual relations that day.
"Meanwhile, Omar, Abraham, the Colombian,
the bearded guy, and the woman who was with him were doing cocaine."
How could this statement possibly… benefit Daniel?
It doesn't.
This statement benefits the authorities.
Why? Because it's helping tie the loose ends.
"Ah, see? They did cocaine."
USING COCAINE
"Ah, see? It involved prostitution."
"Ah, see? It involved a lot of people."
These are small brushstrokes,
used to construct an entire narrative with context.
Right. And that's where the attention diverted to
and where the hypotheses came from.
"I left the apartment and pressed the elevator button."
"While waiting for the elevator, Abraham came out to give me a backpack."
"He said. 'Take it. My things are in there.'"
"I took them, knowing he needed some time alone with the Colombian."
"Omar stayed in the apartment the entire time."
And he says he doesn't know what happened when he left the apartment.
Till they all left the scene.
"It wasn't until Sunday, after 2:00 p.m.
that I heard on the news that several people had been killed,
including a reporter from Colonia Narvarte."
Daniel is not actually confessing in this statement.
Why did the Attorney's Office say there was a confession?
And on top of that, his statement is incoherent.
Thanks to this statement, the authorities were now aware
that gatherings were common in that apartment building,
where unknown people could enter with ease.
The apartment was used for sex, according to Daniel.
They were practicing prostitution.
"WE WENT FOR SEX"
With these types of headlines,
you strip away the victims' status as victims.
You deny their access to social justice.
Sometimes, that's all we have.
That was Daniel Pacheco Gutiérrez's criminal statement.
You heard it right here first, folks.
In the end, the Attorney's Office achieved their impunity protocol,
building and perpetuating a narrative
that drove attention away from Veracruz's officials.
A narrative that also stigmatized the victims
and generated very little social sympathy towards them.
You could almost think of it as a relationship
between the authority investigating the case
and the media trying to make sense of the version that criminalizes the victims
and tells the general public that what happened was a brothel party
got out of control
and everyone involved was morally reprehensible.
Unfortunately, it's part of a system composed of different actors
that, together, contribute from their own separate stages
to arrange and try to put together different truths.
Or lies.
The University of Toronto's Citizen Lab documented another attempt of espionage
using Pegasus software.
Karla Micheel Salas Ramírez and David Peña Rodríguez,
lawyers for the Narvarte cases, were targeted.
The Pegasus software had accessed the entire phone,
so it listened to calls.
-It could turn on the camera. -It was literally controlling our lives.
That software had been acquired
by the then Attorney General's Office of Mexico.
-And SEDENA. -And SEDENA.
But it came as a direct order from the president himself.
Peña Nieto.
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
Why did we become a target for the federal government?
But it wasn't the federal government targeting us.
It was the government of Miguel Ángel Mancera.
He wanted to do damage control
on a case that had gotten out of his hands.
Also, around this time,
leaks began to flow out of the city government at a rapid rate.
Traces of drugs were found at the crime scene.
In Nadia's room, they found an ashtray
containing a substance identified as marijuana.
They found a small sample of drugs in the apartment.
That was enough for the media to say they were involved in drug trafficking.
The theory that the multiple homicide is drug related has been reaffirmed.
This suggests that the crime was indeed drug related.
Whatever was talked about on the news
was then used by the authorities in the investigation.
MEXICO CITY GOVERNOR, 2012-2018
Look, Mexico City has always had a drug-dealing problem.
And, of course, this is what criminal groups fight for
and why they kill each other every day.
Inside the suitcase being carried by this man,
there were several kilos of pure cocaine packaged inside what are known as bricks.
And this was the motive for the homicide that occurred in the Narvarte apartment.
There's evidence that they arrived empty-handed
and left with a black suitcase.
This is why they said it was a robbery, but it wasn't just any robbery.
The type of men involved,
the type of execution, the type of violence,
those were the elements that proved this was related to narcotics.
Drugs.
The authorities now know exactly what was in that suitcase.
The murderers carried several kilos of cocaine
they had stolen from the young Colombian.
However, they didn't find a strong link to drug trafficking, right?
No. This is why when they discussed the theft of the suitcase,
they couldn't say exactly what it contained.
The contents of the suitcase were never known
because that suitcase was never found.
The Attorney's Office theory was that there were three murderers
who acted with the motive of recovering drugs.
They were arrested, and the case was closed.
That was the evidence.
Those were the items found at the scene of the crime.
And those were the people who took part in the event.
That was it.
My name is Luis Pedro García Yáñez. I'm an expert in computer science.
I have almost 20 years' experience working with crimes that involve technology.
For example, identifying devices,
extracting information from them, and seeing what we can find.
These devices were used specifically
so they could have effective communications in real time
to coordinate their actions.
Once a number under investigation is located,
the phone carrier receives an information request.
These sheets have information
regarding the calls made between the perpetrators.
CLIENT DETAILS
For example, the date of the call, the time of the call,
the duration of the call,
and the particular geographic location of the person making the call.
We are going to examine these sheets and see how the communications
between perpetrators will appear.
From this analysis, we can deduce
that Abraham, Omar, and Daniel
were all likely involved on the day of the event.
OMAR - OFFICE
But Omar, in particular, was in constant communication
with a number registered as DP2.
So we learned that there were not only three people involved.
But at least four.
One of the key issues was accessing security videos.
Being able to see full videos.
Because the only thing we could find were essentially photograph frames.
With experts looking through photographs,
it's ultimately determined by them which photos are relevant
and which ones are not.
That's why we say, "No, we need to see the whole video."
Unfortunately, the chief of police was the only one with access
to those videos.
We told the attorney to order the chief of police
to grant us access to those videos.
And basically, all he said was, "I can't do that."
Everything came from the Investigative Police.
The person in control of the entire distorted version of events
was Raúl Peralta.
He was the head of the Investigative Police.
Some say he was the real boss
who gave orders to Ríos Garza, the attorney at the time.
We knew the power Peralta had.
A lot of people warned us, you know,
"Whatever you do, don't mess with him."
The first set of videos I had been sent from Chief Peralta were heavily edited
by the Investigative Police.
They just took several specific frames
and just cut them out before sending it to me.
It was like a cartoon,
where you could see the trail left by the SUV and the Mustang.
"This is a grainy video from a crappy camera,
but you could see the SUV leaving the scene."
But he just took a clip from a different camera
where the SUV is moving.
JULY 31, 2015 1:40 P.M.
We saw what they wanted us to see and basically nothing else.
JULY 31, 2015 1:47 P.M.
In the same vein of how they assembled the fragments of different videos,
they started releasing fragments of the phone call analyses.
When they first released the fragmented transcripts, we had questions.
When they released the transcript as a whole, we had even more questions.
What we asked them was,
"Why is it that you only followed the SUV? Wasn't there another vehicle?"
"No."
"So that means when they were calling each other,
they were all inside the same car?"
They said, "Yes."
DISC 1 DAMAGED, POOR QUALITY, AND TAKEN AT NIGHT
I made a lot of notes.
Cars passing, patrol cars passing, visible shadows.
Those notes made me feel like I had something.
Like I was getting closer. Closer to the truth.
Up until 2021,
we were only able to see about 80% of the videos in that folder.
Abraham is definitely one
of the more interesting characters in this case.
STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CULPRIT(S)
Abraham made this statement on September 16th,
just after Omar had been arrested.
Abraham's statement reads as follows.
"We went to the Luz Saviñón building
when César Omar Zendejas ordered myself,
Daniel Pacheco, and a man nicknamed 'El Duy,'"
whom they never asked about again.
Who is "El Duy”? What's his real name?
Where did it come from?
"Daniel Pacheco, El Duy, and I drove to the apartment."
"We left in the blue Suburban SUV."
"César Omar Zendejas, aka 'El Omarcito,'
came with another person I didn't recognize in a Malibu vehicle."
There. An arm comes out from behind the passenger seat.
He sticks his arm out the window to smoke a cigarette.
Abraham said that there were three people in the SUV.
-And two more people were in the Malibu. -Exactly.
-Including Omar. -Omar and someone else.
This is no coincidence, and it's incredibly rare
that the Investigative Police miss an extra person,
given how much tracking and tracing they do with their footage.
The perpetrators' vehicle arrives
from the east side of the scene of the crime.
They turn down Zempoala.
Once they park, they get out of their car and walk south.
Here, we see three men.
The one with the black jacket is Abraham.
The one on the phone is Daniel.
And, according to the Attorney's Office,
he's talking with Omar, the one in the middle.
-But he's not on the phone. -That doesn't make sense.
How could they be talking on the phone?
Omar is clearly not talking to anyone on the phone.
With this video, the story told by the Justice Department
starts to unravel.
It makes total sense why they didn't want us to see these videos.
Total sense.
Abraham revealed at least three crucial elements
that we have finally been able to confirm, seven years later.
First, there's another man named "El Duy" who was involved in some way.
Second, he was receiving instructions from Omar.
And third, there was a second vehicle accompanying them.
Abraham made this statement just after Omar had been arrested.
At the end of his statement, Abraham says,
"Do not transfer César Omar to this same prison."
"I'm afraid he will try to hurt me."
The authorities have refused to investigate this specific angle,
which begs the question, why do they refuse to investigate
what seems to be an orchestrated, planned, directed operation?
Exactly. This was an operation.
They went to that apartment to execute the people who were there.
As the investigation continues,
your head starts writing a script that might not even exist.
"Maybe it was because of Mile or Nadia or Yesenia or Rubén."
The night before the event,
Rubén arrived at the apartment late at night with his friend Antonio.
They had gone out to a bar together downtown.
There, Rubén remembered that his friend Nadia
was about to leave town, and he wanted to say goodbye.
So he calls her.
Nadia joins them there, and when the bar closes,
Nadia suggests they go back to her place.
Apparently, Antonio left the apartment early the next morning,
and Mile and Yesenia had slept there overnight.
Mrs. Alejandra Olivia was also there, cleaning the apartment.
I texted him at 2:00 pm.
"What's up? Where were you yesterday?"
And he said, "I had drinks with a friend of mine
and went back to her place after."
Of course, I teased him for not inviting me.
WHY DIDN'T YOU INVITE ME?
Three guys arrive.
Two separate from Abraham as Abraham is on the phone with Mile.
He was probably letting her know he was coming to the apartment.
I told him, "Dude, what are you still doing there?"
And he said, "I'm on my way out. I'll let you know when I'm home."
With that, I thought he was okay.
I'LL TEXT YOU WHEN I GET HOME, MAN. I'M HEADING OUT NOW. 2:13 P.M.
FRIDAY, 2:13 P.M.
A few days earlier, Yesenia told me her arm hurt.
So, that day, I sent her a message asking how her arm was.
-IT'S BETTER NOW. -TAKE CARE, HONEY.
She said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Then she gave me a call.
It was around 2:00 pm.
She sounded fine.
She said she was going to take… a shower.
But everything sounded normal.
She didn't sound worried or anything.
When she answered my message on WhatsApp, it was exactly 2:13 pm.
2:13 P.M.
THAT'S GOOD, MA.
I imagine that, at that time,
those people were arriving at the apartment.
ENTRANCE NO PARKING
2:06 P.M. THE SUBURBAN PASSES BY
For starters, the first two in are armed, and they immediately seize control.
As soon as they arrive, they hold Mile hostage
and threaten everyone else directly.
What's the only constant in this world?
The presence of weapons.
We have evidence that only one weapon was fired,
but we don't know if that was the only one present at the scene
or if others were carrying guns.
The three-gun idea seems the most plausible.
But when you piece together certain elements,
it makes me think there may have been only one weapon.
Um, could all of you except Omar put away the guns?
Abraham, put away your gun.
As soon as Mile opens the door,
there should be an element of surprise bursting in.
Nadia and Rubén will come out immediately to see what's happening.
Rubén may have tried to do something about it.
Maybe that's what made them go look for the potato peeler to subdue him.
In similar situations,
when there are several victims in an enclosed space,
the execution is almost immediate.
Why? Because that's their purpose.
They came carrying guns, but they also brought tape.
So their plan was to tie them up and, obviously, end their lives.
But at that moment, they could have received instructions to make them suffer.
Yeah.
When a crime like this takes place inside a victim's home,
there is always a personal intention.
There's a type of connection, a subordination,
a relationship between the victim and the perpetrator.
A lot of trust
that leads the aggressor to transgress the victim's personal space.
There was fury. There was violence. There was cruelty.
But I see a need to leave a clear message of who's in charge here.
The message is clear.
In Mile's case, we didn't know how or when she got there.
Did someone bring her, or was she there for work?
Her family knew she had begun work as a model.
There was even a folder
from her supposed employer at the crime scene.
The folder contained her passport,
which drew attention to her nationality.
It also had a document stating her immigration status.
It's definitely no coincidence
that they left these documents in plain sight.
Documents that confirm Mile's stigmatized profession.
-Sure. -She's a model.
She's Colombian, which in itself is also highly stigmatized
and criminalized.
There is evidence that two of the victims,
Mile and Yessenia, were involved in prostitution.
WHATSAPP CHAT HISTORY WITH BRUNO
Okay. Here's what you need to know.
The man's name is Roberto.
He is at the Eurosuites Hotel.
He'll offer you service if you ask him directly.
They recruit young women and offer them a work permit in Mexico,
usually through several fake modeling agencies.
Mile came through a company called MS Model Management.
In one of the many meetings we had at the Attorney's Office,
we asked them to bring in the employer.
And then they told us they couldn't find the company.
There's something very suspicious going on here
because how did immigration authorize Mile's work permit?
It's interesting because among the papers found inside the Mustang,
there was a greeting card from the immigration officers.
INSIDE THE CARD IT SAYS,
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY. BEST WISHES. JUNE 13, 2015."
Does that mean someone from immigration is involved in all this?
All of this points to sex trafficking.
When we talk about sex trafficking, it always involves a network
because it requires many accomplices.
We could presume this company is part of a larger network
in which the authorities were possibly involved
and that it was not just "a businessman hiring models."
In my opinion, it just doesn't make any sense,
that with all these pieces of evidence being placed in plain sight
by the perpetrator or perpetrators, we still don't know what happened.
Because this has nothing to do with the folder
or the ID found outside of her purse.
They did not bother to inform us about anything.
It felt like it was more important
for the authorities to handwave the whole situation away
as a party gone wrong with drugs, prostitution, and a robbery.
Bad stuff.
It doesn't make sense.
These boxes seem to be an odd piece of evidence to place.
Yes, they divert the investigation elsewhere.
This happens a lot.
We've seen it in previous femicides, where they look for any piece of evidence,
no matter how small,
to rule out the possibility of it being a femicide.
For example, they say,
"Oh, there were drugs on the premises,
so let's make them visible to declare this case a homicide."
"This way, we can get rid of the issue of having to deal with the femicide."
Well, and this obviously helps them
take their story in whatever direction they want.
The aggressor placed Mile in such a way that
whoever entered the apartment, they would see her body first.
This type of murder is classified as "very personal,"
which is an inherent attribute of femicides.
There is not only the murder but an exercise of power.
The murderer wants to exhibit his victim,
exhibit his crime, and send a social message of dominance
and hatred towards women.
The bruises found on Mile's face and head, in particular.
They were made with such violent forcefulness,
which is also very characteristic in femicides,
where there was usually a connection between the aggressor and the victim.
It's been shown through pictures, phone calls, and text messages
that Abraham had a close relationship with Mile.
He was in love with Mile.
And although they had become close friends,
she never agreed to a romantic relationship with him.
I think my sister let this person into her life…
and he…
betrayed her trust.
Yes, there's a difference in how each body was treated.
This is a clear example. She shows signs…
In Alejandra's case, we don't see the same sort of intention
that we see with Mile and Yesenia.
Most of the incident took place
in an area called the Benito Juárez District.
It's considered one of the safest places to live in the city.
However, there are other places of interest in this case,
like the famous Nápoles neighborhood.
It's a major hotspot for mid-level sex trafficking in Mexico City.
It's an upper-middle-class neighborhood.
There are plenty of apartments for women to stay at and conduct business,
with customers paying between 2,000 and 4,000 pesos
for an hour of service.
On Illinois Street, there is an address
that one witness claims Mile lived at.
In 2018, several victims of foreign sex trafficking
were rescued after a search warrant went out.
This afternoon, 17 women were rescued
from sexual exploitation near the Nápoles neighborhood.
However, the Attorney's Office has not made a link between these events.
The hotels where this activity took place
are found on Patriotismo, the Viaduct, and Revolución Avenues.
Traffickers can move victims around this area easily,
within a matter of minutes.
Because of how close they are,
they can perform more services per day, maximizing their profits.
Remember to let me know immediately
as soon as you get there.
Let me know when they've paid you and that everything is okay.
And when you leave, as you know, make the deposit.
YESS: HE PAID.
This makes the case seem much more like a hate crime,
relating it to a hyper-violent crime like sex trafficking,
rather than hired assassins.
However, there are certain elements that I can't yet explain myself.
The deposits they made in their final year were close to one million pesos.
DAN: HE'LL PAY YOU 1,600 PESOS AND 100 USD.
DAN: GO DEPOSIT RIGHT AWAY, PLEASE.
DAN: CONFIRM PAYMENT
Why would you choose to lose that kind of money?
Our children don't tell us everything.
In the moment,
these things can be difficult to hear.
My daughter didn't trust me enough
to tell me if she really worked in that type of business.
If she chose to take that path,
I wouldn't judge her.
I never would.
Only she knows why she made the choices she made.
But this just leads to the authorities saying that they deserved it.
This crime.
Being murdered, being tortured.
This is why we can't always accept what the authorities say.
They're always looking for the easiest solution.
"This is why it happened."
SEPTEMBER 4, 1996-JULY 31, 2015
Even if what they say is true,
she will never stop being my daughter.
I will always love her, and there's nothing wrong
with the path she chose.
She had goals and dreams that she wanted to reach for in life.
Both for herself
and for me.
It doesn't make me…
love her less.
It's the opposite.
They say that when you pass away A street will be named after you
And repair the world's damages
I would like a street Where you and I could walk together
Laughing, talking with words Only we could understand
OCTOBER 20, 1983 JULY 31, 2015
A street named after you
Would not fix the issues Still faced in this world
It would have to be a street Where a woman could walk safely
It would be a street Where anyone could walk at night
Without feeling afraid
A street to repair the world's damages Doesn't exist in this land of darkness
DEATH IS NOT YET A PARTY
The phone calls that took place before and after the incident
involved several other contacts.
In this case, we can see
that there is a network of at least ten people involved.
All those numbers are also relevant as there are shared contacts between them.
For example, "Pillo," "Dui," "Jordan," and "River."
STORM
The contact saved as "Storm" draws my attention
as that's one of the nicknames given to Arturo Bermúdez Zurita.
BERMÚDEZ, FROM BUREAUCRAT TO "CAPTAIN STORM"
This is a shared contact between both Omar and Abraham.
Storm called Abraham three times a few hours after the incident.
STORM
What we have found regarding Bermúdez Zurita,
from a journalistic investigation,
is that he owned private security companies
in Mexico City, some located only ten minutes
from where the Narvarte femicides and homicides occurred.
Even though we presented this information to the Attorney's Office,
they have shown no interest to this day.
At GPR, we subject our elements to the most advanced training
to offer you complete, professional protection.
Did you know that Arturo Bermúdez Zurita
owned private security companies under his family's name,
which operated very closely to the scene of the crime?
I didn't know where they were.
I don't know where his companies are located.
I do know he has operated private security companies
here in Mexico for many years.
Do you think Arturo Bermúdez Zurita
could be capable of these acts?
No, no. I don't know.
I really don't know if Arturo could be involved in that incident.
That's my clearest answer.
Because it's irrelevant if I believe he could or not.
It's a matter of whether I know or I don't know.
The truth is, I don't know.
Another element that we had pointed out
was the persistent calls that were conducted
around the time of the incident.
And the answer we got back from the Chief of Investigative Police,
Raúl Peralta, was that they were likely calls from the bank.
And he said this, dripping with sarcasm and cynicism.
Eleven calls were made from inside the apartment.
Considering that the event lasted nearly 55 minutes,
if you add up the time from every call,
you have almost ten total minutes,
which means there was a lot of communication going on
between the people inside the apartment and another contact saved as "office."
The fact that Daniel had saved this contact as "office"
suggests that this was someone at a higher level in the chain of command.
It's also interesting how the Attorney's Office,
when asking for information about that number,
got several details wrong.
First, they wrote down the first few digits incorrectly
when making their request to the now-defunct Nextel.
But they actually made their request to Telcel.
We don't know why, if they knew the number was registered with Nextel.
This time, they changed the digits again.
So they failed three times to properly record the number,
which is crucial to understanding how everything played out.
We lost our chance to know who was behind that number
and what other connections they had
which could match up with the rest of our list.
Not having made that request correctly suggests dishonesty.
They were trying to remove information that could bring us closer to the truth.
What were the others doing when one of them was talking on the phone?
You could speculate anything. I mean, absolutely anything.
They were either giving information or receiving instructions.
Was it possible that one of the victims
was put on the phone to speak with the perpetrators' contact?
Totally.
The message was so important that they didn't interrupt their call.
There are calls that last over 100 seconds
and others that are only six to seven seconds long.
They subdue them and get a call with instructions, "Hurt them."
This is Rubén's autopsy.
He was apparently beaten on the right cheek.
Two wounds were caused by a sharp instrument,
injuring soft tissue on his body.
"Unknown female corpse A."
"The corpse features tattoos with the words,
'Let's be real. Let's do the impossible.'"
"Another one reads, 'Rebellion is life.'"
The corpse presents six oval-shaped cut wounds with sharp edges.
They're similar to the wounds found on Rubén's neck.
-From the potato peeler. -Yes.
These wounds were made with the intention to harass and intimidate,
as well as causing…
-Suffering. -Suffering, right.
The injuries ranged from major to minor cuts,
covering both the front and sides of her neck.
They practically slit her throat.
Assuming the motive had to do with Yesenia and Mile,
why did they torture Rubén?
Why torture Nadia?
They said, "No, no, no, no, no. Why are you saying they were tortured?"
"Rubén's injuries were made with a potato peeler."
"And these are all non-life-threatening injuries."
And we told them, "Exactly!"
"We're saying it was torture because they wanted to hurt him,
not kill him."
As more and more was revealed from the autopsies,
we began to have a greater understanding of how the incident played out.
It became clear that these injuries
were precisely the kind used to make hostages talk.
Something that reinforces this hypothesis
is the way the victims' bodies were placed.
I write verses around your neck
So that the pressure of the rope Is not exerted
The wind that ruffles through your hair
Inhales your thoughts
It keeps your memories of the good times
And blows them across the land
It carries your thoughts everywhere
And deposits each memory In every place it touches
The wind knocks at my window
And brings your thoughts to me
The neural signature of consciousness
A flash of light
FIGHT RESIST
Continuous time
They're hiding something.
They're protecting someone.
They never thought that because of Rubén…
because…
It's hard to say this
because my daughter was killed, but…
I thank Rubén, Rubén Espinosa,
for being there that day.
Because if he hadn't been there, it would've been forgotten.
Just some other girls killed.
And thanks to him being there,
the case goes on and…
and we continue.
We continue this fight and continue to realize
that the authorities are doing their jobs wrong.
I want justice to be done.
Not just for my mom, but for the others who were there too.
I just need to know why they did it.
What their motive was.
Because they won't talk.
They won't say who sent them or who gave them their orders.
They just went in and did their job.
That's all we know.
From the beginning, we've been saying that there's a lot more to this story.
It's been about seven years since the multiple homicide
that claimed the lives of five people in an apartment in Narvarte.
Today, the case's lawyers…
The participation of at least five visible people in the incident,
not just the three that have already been arrested.
They claim that there were more people involved in the incident.
We have been lied to,
victimized, and stigmatized over and over again.
How much of this is ineptitude, and how much of this is a cover-up?
How did they forget to check key details?
Did they forget to care about this case?
Did they think we weren't going to notice?
Did they think we were just going to move on?
Do they think we're afraid of them? Because we're not.
Their leaders are hiding.
There are more people behind this.
They're protecting someone.
I don't know how I write Without screaming
The violence against our beloved Nadia
The violence against Rubén
The violence against Yesenia
Alejandra, and Mile
Institutional violence followed
Mancera, what about Narvarte?
-Are you with the press? -Yes.
We talked to the press. We didn't see you.
When are you going to do something?
You're useless!
Misuse of resources and organized crime
are among the charges in the arrest warrant
against Javier Duarte, governor of Veracruz.
These charges also include the creation of 33 ghost companies,
used for the acquisition of real estate.
THE HEARING WAS BECAUSE OF MY COMPLAINTS MIGUEL ÁNGEL YUNES, GOVERNOR OF VERACRUZ
I will inevitably get out of this place.
I hope to be free in the near future.
We are in the presence of two crimes.
That day at 2:00 p.m. at the apartment on Luz Saviñón Street,
where the brutal murder of five people took place.
And later, when this crime was discovered by the authorities,
another crime was committed, a state crime.
The meddling of information.
The destruction and concealment of evidence.
Lying to the victims' families.
As well as lying to the general public.
They're always making promises,
saying that they'll do more research.
But they never do anything, and we never find out what happened
or who was involved.
There's no obvious motive.
And as time goes on, there's more and more social demand
to find out who, when, where, and how,
but, above all, why.
Why does it seem that this Attorney's Office
and the previous one are in collusion?
In favor of protecting the accused and those who remain to be accused?
Why does their judicial conduct
resist clarifying the innumerable contradictions
that have been bubbling up over time?
The lack of information is itself a kind of torture.
It's as if a bullet pierced my heart for the second time
since a bullet pierced my daughter's head,
ending her life of brilliance and bravery.
That bullet did not stay there in those walls
but pierced through my heart and the hearts of all of us who loved her.
NO TO SILENCE
NO MORE FEMICIDES OR JOURNALISTS KILLED
And that's what the so-called authorities
don't understand.
If you just sit there and tell me it was all because of human trafficking,
guess what?
You're still going to have to get to the bottom of this
and find those human traffickers.
JULY 31, 2015 7:02 P.M.
Refusing to do your job
is as good as being an accomplice to the murderers.
If you tell me it involves Veracruz, you're still going to have to find out
who in Veracruz is responsible for this.
If you tell me it was a drug dispute,
then you're gonna have to confront the organized cartels.
I don't know which of those three motives would be easier for them to handle.
I don't know How I write without screaming
WE THANK THE FAMILIES OF MILE, YESENIA, ALEJANDRA, NADIA, AND RUBÉN
FOR ALLOWING US TO JOIN THEM IN THEIR SEARCH FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE.
YOU HAVE OUR SUPPORT AND ADMIRATION.
