The missing girlfriend and the judicial corruption of Guatemala: The femicide of Cristina Cecavisá MolinaOn the night of July 6, 2011, Cristina Cecavisá Molina disappeared after a birthday party. Her cell phone, documents, and wallet remained untouched in her room. But luminol revealed blood stains that transformed a disappearance into murder, and the flight of her partner with their children in a conspiracy that would reach even the supreme courts.In this episode, we explore how a domestic worker testified about a body and forced cleaning, while a police investigator was murdered after following leads in El Progreso, and the accused lived for two years under a false identity in Mexico before being captured by an anonymous photo.
