The night that took two years to accuse: The homicide of Ginny Sandoval ReyesIn the early morning of December 29, 2016, four calls from neighbors were ignored by a carabineros operator. When the firefighters arrived at Malbo Street in Temuco, they found a mother and three children trapped in a fire that no one had reported. The impossible: the autopsy revealed that Ginny Sandoval had been stabbed before the fire.In this episode, we explore how police negligence allowed the crime scene to be cleaned before being investigated as homicide, how carabineros lost evidence without declaring it to justice, and why the prosecution took almost two years to summon the suspect. Discover how a legal loophole left the femicide unnamed until a mother decided to change the story.Victim: Ginny Sandoval Reyes Date: December 29, 2016 Location: Temuco, Chile Status: Convicted - 30 years in prison without benefits - The mother was stabbed before the fire: complete section of carotid, jugular, and penetrating injury to the chest with damage to the pericardium and lung. - A carabinero lost an ID belonging to another person found at the scene, never declared to justice. - The prosecution did not investigate Ginny's phone or Facebook for six months after the crime. - The suspect was arrested almost two years later, when public pressure and the feminist movement forced action.
