The Quintrala of Seminario: Ambition Without Limits

The Quintrala of Seminario: Ambition Without Limits: The Mystery of María del Pilar Pérez LópezA high-class architect hired hitmen to eliminate her ex-husband, brother-in-law, mother, sister, and daughter-in-law in Santiago, Chile. From her cell, she attempted to bribe the assassin using her own daughter as a messenger. How far does ambition go before it destroys everything, including one's own children?In this episode, we explore the 80+ recorded calls linking María del Pilar to the hitman Rus, the handwritten plan found at her home, and the inexplicable contradiction: she cried at her ex-husband's grave while signing checks emotionlessly upon learning of her brother-in-law's death. We investigate how a previous complainant of attempted murder was dismissed, only for the pattern to resurface years later with fatal consequences.Victim: Francisco Zamorano and other fatal victims Date: April 23, 2008, and November 4, 2008 Location: Santiago, Chile Status: Life imprisonment, nullity appeal rejected July 2022 - 80+ recorded calls between María del Pilar and the hitman Rus immediately after the murders - Handwritten plan of the house at Seminario 97 found in Rus's home with insider information only she possessed - Letter from prison requesting 10 million pesos to bribe the assassin; her daughter delivered the letter to the police - Visit to ex-husband's grave with public crying followed by signing checks emotionlessly upon learning of brother-in-law's death María del Pilar Pérez López, Santiago Chile, murder, inheritance, hitman, investigation, forensic, criminal minds, criminal narcissism, true crime, Chile 2008, life imprisonment, Spanish true crime If you want to listen to this podcast without ads and gain access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.
