The drop of sweat that condemned Patrick Nogueira

The drop of sweat that condemned Patrick Nogueira: The quadruple murder of Pioz A drop of sweat under black light. An impossible fingerprint under duct tape. A WhatsApp message sent in real time while he dismembered four relatives, including two children aged 4 and 1. Patrick Nogueira, 19 years old, cleaned the scene with bleach, took a shower, ate a sandwich, and calmly waited for the last adult. The question that the police had to solve: how did a nephew living with the family manage to almost erase all the evidence, except for the invisible? In this episode, we explore the 5,848 digital pieces of evidence that reconstructed every second of the crime: internet searches on how to kill in three seconds, transport records that placed him in Pioz at 3:30 PM, and photographs he shared live with his friend Martín Enríquez. We unravel how an identical incident from 2013 - when he stabbed his teacher in the back - revealed a pattern that no jury could ignore. What drives a teenager from an affluent family to commit such an act of brutality, and how did digital forensics catch him when he had already fled to Brazil?
