The killer whom justice released two months earlier

The killer that justice released two months earlier: The homicide of Laura LuelmoLaura disappeared on December 12, 2018, in El Campillo. Her phone marked a location 9 kilometers from home, but her body was found in the completely opposite direction, covered with branches. The man who lived across from her had been released just two months prior after serving time for stabbing an 82-year-old woman. Justice knew everything. And did nothing.In this episode, we explore how Bernardo Montoya, convicted of homicide in 1995, was released without active supervision just meters from the young teacher. We reconstruct the 75 minutes of aggression that forensic police managed to document, Montoya's changing story in court blaming his girlfriend, and the central contradiction: his first account of kidnapping versus the late confession that attempted to minimize the events. This case exposes the failure of a system that released a convicted murderer without oversight.Victim: Laura Luelmo Date: December 12, 2018 Location: El Campillo, Huelva, Spain Status: Convicted - Permanent revisable prison (July 2023)- Montoya had been convicted of murdering an elderly woman with stabbings in 1995 and was released in October 2018 without any surveillance measures. - Laura's blood was found in Montoya's home, but her phone marked a location 9 kilometers away in the opposite direction from the body. - Laura remained alive for 2 to 3 days after the kidnapping, agonizing in an abandoned field before dying from over 40 blows with a stone. - Montoya initially confessed to the kidnapping and assault, but in the 2021 trial, he blamed his girlfriend Josefa for being the material author, a version unanimously dismissed by the jury.Laura Luelmo, El Campillo Huelva, homicide 2018, serial killer, forensic investigation, criminal minds, justice, true crime, mystery, suspense, murder, 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.
