Two bodies, three convicted, four DNA profiles unanswered.

Two bodies, three convicted, four DNA profiles unanswered: The homicide of Marina Menegaz and María José Coni Two young Argentine women wrapped in plastic, found 40 meters apart with two days between their deaths. When the police discovered Marina on February 25, 2016, María José was possibly still alive somewhere nearby. A forensic mystery that begins with a decision to hitchhike and ends with an investigation riddled with inconsistencies. In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding the case: the toxicology revealing benzodiazepines in both victims, the inexplicable change in the date of death of María José between autopsies, and the three genetic profiles found at the crime scene that were never identified. Do three convicted individuals really explain everything that happened that night, or does the true criminal network remain hidden?
