The tattoo that Daniela revealed in Playa del Carmen

from True Crime Unmasked · host OBOMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT

The tattoo that revealed Daniela in Playa del Carmen: The unresolved femicide of Daniela Patiño InestrosaA naked body found in Playa del Carmen on September 17, 2019, had only one identifier: an "ineffable" tattoo on the forearm. Daniela Patiño, a 22-year-old Colombian student, had disappeared a week earlier while going out to buy groceries. But her trip to Madrid began with an impossible alarm: the flight lasted 6 hours instead of the promised 9.In this episode, we explore how a job offer on social media turned into a transnational trafficking network, how Daniela escaped from captors in Guatemala by sending her exact location to her father, and how that same phone number - belonging to the detained Jonathan "El Pantera" - sent final threats in Mexico days before her death. The Quintana Roo Prosecutor's Office opened a case for femicide, but six years later, the murder remains unsolved.Victim: Daniela Patiño Inestrosa Date: September 10, 2019 Location: Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico Status: Unresolved femicide - The flight to Guatemala lasted 6 hours instead of 9, revealing the false destination before the trafficking network demanded 3 million Colombian pesos - Daniela escaped alone by bus from Guatemala to Mexico after her family gathered only 1 million in ransom - Her body was identified solely by a tattoo; her documents, cell phone, and clothing remained intact at the hotel - Jonathan "El Pantera," detained with a weapon and drugs, was released due to "lack of evidence" despite messages from his phone threatening Daniela days before she died Daniela Patiño Inestrosa, Playa del Carmen femicide, human trafficking, transnational network, Guatemala, Mexico, 2019, Gulf cartel, extortion, forced disappearance, unresolved investigation, 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.
