The pastor without a body: seven years of silence in Ecuador: The murder of Juliana CampoverdeA student disappears within six blocks. Her cellphone sends messages after she dies. A pastor who led his church without credentials was looking for scopolamine days before. The police took six years to connect the dots that her mother never stopped seeing.In this episode, we explore how a fake profile on Facebook manipulated Juliana to distance herself from her life, how phone records from 2018 linked the pastor to her last communication, and why Ecuador convicted the first serial killer in the history of the national judicial system without an identified body - based solely on circumstantial evidence that the initial prosecutors dismissed.Victim: Juliana Campoverde Date: July 7, 2012 Location: Quito, Ecuador Status: Sentenced to 25 years (2019)- Jonathan Carrillo, pastor without formal credentials, sought how to buy scopolamine days before the disappearance. - Juliana's last Facebook message was sent from an IP address at Jonathan's workplace. - Patricio Carrillo, the pastor's father, accurately predicted when a message from Juliana would arrive - indicating prior access to her cellphone. - The institute's clocking system was tampered with to create an alibi; Juliana never entered that day according to the sign-in book.Juliana Campoverde, Quito 2012, murder, religious manipulation, church, investigation, police corruption, circumstantial evidence, forensic, cartel, justice, criminal minds, true crime SpanishIf 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.
