Vengeful Mother: 10 Criminals and 13 Shots

from True Crime Vanished · host Creator at Obomedia

Vengeful Mother: 10 Criminals and 13 Shots - The Case of Miriam Rodríguez Martínez A common mother, without police training, infiltrated with a fake uniform in the territory of Los Zetas. In five years, she sent ten criminals to prison using only a notebook with photos and determination. Miriam's story does not end in justice: it ends with 13 bullets at the entrance of her home on Mother's Day. In this episode, we explore how a merchant from San Fernando tracked down her daughter's killer through Facebook, disguised herself to obtain the name of the responsible party, and triggered a chain of confessions that dismantled a network of homicides. We investigate the contradictions between Mexican forensic reports that denied the remains of Karen and American specialists who confirmed her DNA a year later, and examine why the State acknowledged the danger Miriam faced but did not protect her.
