Mackenzie Lueck: the planned murder with a secret room

from True Crime Vanished · host Obomedia Network

The fall that wasn't: murder in Pergamino: The qualified homicide of Iván Ortiguera A 16-year-old teenager falls from the seventh floor in Pergamino, Argentina. Four witnesses declare that he committed suicide. But the autopsy reveals something impossible: he had facial fractures prior to the fall. How does someone commit suicide who was already unconscious? What seemed like a desperate jump was actually a murder covered up by lies under oath. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that dismantled the first version. We analyze the testimony of two neighbors who saw Fabián Núñez holding Iván by the neck at the window, shouting "Jump or I'll throw you!" We reconstruct the 2014 trial where forensic experts, criminalistics, and forensic psychology converged on an inevitable verdict: what was the true motive behind this crime in the early hours of January 6, 2012? Victim: Iván Ortiguera, 16 years old Date: January 6, 2012 Location: Pergamino, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina Status: Sentenced to life imprisonment for qualified homicide with premeditation (February 2014) - Maxillary and nasal septum fractures documented before impact; forensic expertise incompatible with voluntary fall. - Direct eyewitnesses saw Núñez holding Iván by the neck, with blood on his head and unresponsive, minutes before the fall. - Núñez publicly admitted in a Clarín interview to having hit Iván and uttered the phrase "jump or I'll throw you," but denied having pushed him. - Previous formal complaint for death threats against Iván establishes a pattern of violent behavior and a motive of pathological jealousy towards his daughter.
