Five shots disguised as a domestic accident

Five shots disguised as a domestic accident: The murder of María Marta García BelsunceA woman is found dead with five bullet wounds to the skull, and for over a hundred days, everyone—doctors, family, police—certified that it was an accidental fall in the bathtub. How does such an evident murder turn into a domestic tragedy? The contradiction that concealed a destroyed scene, a false certificate, and a crime that took 22 years to resolve.In this episode, we explore how two doctors reached opposite conclusions in minutes, why the family cleaned up blood before a formal investigation existed, and how a suspect with a cell phone antenna at the scene remained free for two decades while another man served a life sentence. We unravel the lies that protected the true perpetrator and the questions that justice never answered.Victim: María Marta García Belsunce, 50 years old Date: October 27, 2002 Location: Carmel Country Club, Pilar, Buenos Aires Status: Nicolás Pachelo sentenced to life (March 27, 2024)- Five .32 caliber bullet holes confirmed in the autopsy, but the scene was cleaned and the body was made up before exhumation. - The first doctor ordered the blood to be cleaned, diagnosing a fall; the second detected multiple bullet holes and refused to sign, but no one listened to him. - The cell phone antenna placed the main suspect in Pilar at 6:30 PM while he claimed to be buying a gift in Buenos Aires at that same time. - An employee saw the suspect washing clothes the night of the crime, and a wiretap shows him asking his lawyer if justice would find his DNA.María Marta García Belsunce, Carmel Pilar murder, 2002, investigation, forensic, mystery, homicide, concealed evidence, imperfect crime, judicial corruption, Spanish true crimeIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.
