Elmer (Iquitos): the kidnapping planned by his own family

from True Crime Vanished · host Obomedia Network

Five executions for 315 dollars in Narvarte: The multiple homicide of Rubén Espinoza Cervantes Three armed men burst into a middle-class apartment at noon in Mexico City. Five people executed with a shot to the head. But investigators closed the case as simple robbery, and the loot barely reached 315 dollars while valuable items remained intact at the scene. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that dismantle the official narrative: eleven calls made during the crime to a contact never investigated, an anonymous video showing five attackers instead of three, and evidence destroyed under the authority's custody. The differentiated torture of two victims, their bodies placed face to face, and an identifiable vehicle but off the registry suggest an ordered execution, not a robbery. Who ordered this massacre and why do authorities insist on covering it up? Victim: Rubén Espinoza Cervantes Date: July 30, 2015 Location: Calle Luz Saviñón 1909, Colonia Narvarte, Mexico City Status: Open; masterminds unconvicted - Three men were charged; subsequent anonymous video shows five attackers arriving in separate vehicles. - Omar made eleven calls to a contact never officially investigated during the crime, one every five minutes. - Victims' clothing was burned the next day in the presence of authorities, destroying primary evidence. - Contact "Captain Storm" identified as a former Secretary of Public Security of Veracruz with a company ten minutes from the apartment.
