True Crime Unmasked
by Obomedia Network
What really happens when a case goes cold — and why does the official story rarely tell the full truth? True Crime Unmasked is the podcast that goes beyond the headlines. Every week, host Jhon dissects real criminal cases with the kind of forensic detail and narrative clarity that most shows skip. The angle here is different: instead of just recounting what happened, we question how the investigation unfolded, where the system failed, and what the evidence actually says. No sensationalism. Just sharp analysis of real crime stories that deserve a second look. Jhon spent years studying criminal behavior, court records, and investigative journalism before launching this show. He brings a researcher's discipline and a storyteller's instinct to every case — because understanding true crime means reading between the lines, not just reading the verdict. This podcast is built for listeners who are done with surface-level storytelling. If

151 stab wounds under a false identity
151 stab wounds under a false identity: The murder of Jun Me Oy in Aurora, Colorado A young woman stabs her mother 151 times believing she is killing someone else. Hours later, in front of detectives and her father, she insists on calling herself Samantha González and being 15 years old. The interrogation reveals a delusion impossible to ignore: she does not believe she is who she is. In this episode, we explore the threatening letter sent to someone named Cecilia, the two 911 calls from the same house on the same day, and the diagnostic error that changed everything. How did a psychiatrist declare normal behavior months before the crime? Was Isabela a calculating murderer pretending to be psychotic, or was it uncontrolled mental illness? Victim: Jun Me Oy Date: August 28, 2013 Location: Aurora, Colorado Status: Found not guilty by reason of insanity; in mental health institution - A threatening letter addressed to "Cecilia" was found hours before the murder, but Isabela never explained who that person was. - The first 911 call came that same morning: Jun Me reported fear of her daughter, validating a real threat. - A psychiatrist evaluated Isabela at 16 years old and determined typical adolescent behavior while she had already been expelled from school with a knife. - The diagnosis of schizophrenia with paranoid delusions came months after the crime, when Isabela already believed she had killed someone else to prevent the end of the world.

The boyfriend who found the body in the darkness
The boyfriend who found the body in the dark: The murder of Jodie Jones by Luke Mitchell June 30, 2003, 10:30 PM. Luke Mitchell leads the family directly to the body of his girlfriend Jodie Jones in the woods, without light, without his dog guiding him. According to his alibi, he hadn't seen her that day. But he knew exactly where she was, how she was dressed, and the brooch in her hair. In this episode, we explore the forensic investigation that uncovered a knife sheath engraved with Jodie's initials and the year of her death, witnesses placing Luke in the woods that afternoon, and the alibi shattered by his own brother under oath. No conclusive DNA, no weapon recovered, but a conviction that persists. Victim: Jodie Jones Date: June 30, 2003 Location: Edinburgh, Scotland (Roan's Dyke woods) Status: Sentenced to life imprisonment (minimum 20 years); appeals denied - Luke identified Jodie's clothing and brooch in total darkness, despite claiming he hadn't been in the woods - His brother Shane confessed in court that Luke was alone watching adult material, not cooking with their mother as she stated - A call to the speaking clock at 4:54 PM contradicts that he was home all that time - Witnesses placed him in the woods between 4:50 and 5:30 PM wearing a khaki green jacket identical to the one described by the family Jodie Jones, murder, Edinburgh, 2003, forensic investigation, homicide, alibi, witnesses, suspense, criminal minds, Spanish true crimeTo listen ad-free and access premium episodes, start your 14-day free trial at obomedia.comOBOMEDIA presents true crime storiesa true crime podcast built on real cases.Every true crime story in our crime files follows the crime investigation from the missing person report to the trial: investigators and police building a murder case, a police investigation gone cold, justice for the victim and those who survived.We open the unsolved murder, the cold case reopened decades later, the mysterious death, the disappearance, the serial killer, the family murder, the murder mystery; the missing persons a missing woman, a missing girl, a missing man found dead and the missing and murdered.From the infamous case to the unsolved case, from classic true crime to dark true crime and disturbing true crime: true crime reports, real crime stories, real murder cases, true murder stories and unsolved mysteries one true crime case at a time, from the OBOMEDIA true crime vault.© 2026 Created with OBOMEDIA technology.

The sign in the window: Florencia Aguiñazú
The sign in the window: Florencia Aguiñazú: The femicide of a mother who reported and was murdered anywayA 7-year-old boy knocks on the bedroom door for hours, unaware that his mother is already dead inside. He only found out when a neighbor read a sign posted on the window: "Call 911, the kids are alone." Florencia Aguiñazú, a 30-year-old tattoo artist and federal athlete, had a restraining order in effect against the same man who strangled her that morning of April 6, 2024, in Mendoza.In this episode, we explore how a formal complaint, a court order, and all the tools of the system failed simultaneously. We analyze the contradiction between the active restraining order and Ignacio Noto's voluntary readmission to the home; the documented harassment via social media that was not reported; and the initial statement where Florencia denied prior physical violence, despite neighbors having witnessed confinement and isolation. How does a legally protected woman end up being murdered by someone who should have been kept away?Victim: Florencia Susana Aguiñazú Date: April 6, 2024 Location: Las Cañas, Mendoza, Argentina Status: Femicide followed by the perpetrator's suicide- Milo, the 7-year-old son, spent more than 16 hours alone in the house without food, knocking on the bedroom door where his mother lay strangled. - The autopsy confirmed multiple bruises on Florencia's body, evidencing a prolonged attack, not instantaneous. - Ignacio violated the restraining order throughout December 2023 by harassing her via shared Netflix, but Florencia did not report the violations. - Florencia voluntarily readmitted Ignacio to her home months after obtaining the order, claiming he was experiencing economic and family crises.Florencia Aguiñazú, Mendoza 2024 femicide, murder, investigation, forensic, restraining order, gender violence, harassment, criminal minds, crime, justice, true crime SpanishIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The girl from the yacht: 26 days without police
The girl from the yacht: 26 days without police: The kidnapping of Emerey Gerbasi A father without a badge or weapon rescued his 14-year-old daughter from a yacht in Long Island after the police dismissed the case. For 26 days, a network of at least 12 people operated in a public harbor in front of a fish market. What happened after the rescue revealed an even darker ordeal. In this episode, we explore Emerey's disappearance under electronic custody, the contradictions between the consent and captivity versions, and how an anonymous informant led Frank to a 56-foot Phoenix boat. We examine the transit itinerary from Queens to Islip, the cut ankle monitor indicating premeditation, and the documented institutional abuse 20 days after the rescue. Victim: Emerey Gerbasi Date: December 9, 2024 - January 8, 2025 Location: Long Island, Queens, Islip, New York Status: 12 detained; case under judicial instruction; all plead not guilty - Surveillance video from December 9 shows a dark car picking her up without shoes or a coat in the rain, ruling out voluntary escape. - The electronic ankle monitor cut a block from Frank's house indicates group premeditation to eliminate tracking from the very beginning. - Emerey was moved through at least 6 different locations in 30 days: an abandoned house, a container, a trailer, a garage, a motel, and finally confined on a yacht after the network. - Deson McLin, an employee at the De Park center where she was receiving treatment, abused her between January 9 and 28 while she was supposedly recovering from the kidnapping.

The lie that cost four lives: Menaz and the family massacre
The lie that cost four lives: Menaz and the family massacre: The homicide of Momotas, Firusa, Malesa, and Moniruz Saman On the night of July 27, 2019, a young man was playing video games while the bodies of his mother and grandmother lay on the upper floor of their house in Scarborough. He calmly waited for his sister and father to arrive to complete the massacre. How did a lie about college graduation turn into the motive for murdering four family members? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that unleashed the violence: Menaz's double life pretending to be a student while dropping out of college in 2015, the homophobic and racist comments on Discord that were dismissed as jokes, and how anonymous gamers across four continents tracked the killer in real time before he attacked his next victim. We also reveal why formal mechanisms failed while the online community raced against the clock. Victims: Momotas, Firusa, Malesa, and Moniruz Saman Date: July 27-28, 2019 Location: Casselmore Avenue, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada Status: Guilty plea, life sentence, 40 years without parole (November 2020) - Menaz sent photographs of the victims to Discord while the bodies were still in the house, a spontaneous confession before the arrest. - Reverse image search and IP tracking by civilian gamers unlocked the physical address while the police were still investigating. - He changed his username to "subhuman/does not deserve life" months prior; his online friends interpreted real threats as normal jokes. - Autopsy revealed identical methods in all four cases: a blow to the skull with a crowbar followed by a cut to the throat with a kitchen knife.

Ten Shots at Noon: The Fedra Gaxiola Case
Ten shots at noon: the case of Fedra Gaxiola: The execution of Fedra Gaxiola Eight bullet impacts in front of Hardcore Gym in broad daylight, December 4, 2024. Minutes earlier, Fedra Gaxiola - a 24-year-old fitness influencer with 200,000 followers - had posted her last Instagram story from that very spot. The hitman approached, fired, and disappeared in a gray car. The impossible: at the time of her murder, the prosecution was investigating her as a suspected mastermind behind two homicides of women. In this episode, we explore the convergence of details that defied all logic: an influencer projecting empowerment while maintaining documented relationships with officials investigated for money laundering, a previous partner executed years earlier without resolution, and a viral video of domestic violence that circulated weeks before her death. Who ordered Fedra's murder and why was the prosecution investigating her as a perpetrator of crime? Victim: Fedra Gaxiola Date: December 4, 2024 Location: Colonia Lucio López, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico Status: Murder with no identified mastermind; two executors detained January 2025 - Ten 9 mm shell casings in front of the gym confirm the volume of the attack and its premeditated nature. - Fedra was being investigated by the prosecution as a suspected mastermind behind two homicides of women at the time of her execution. - Her previous partner, José Alfredo García Pérez, with a history of drug trafficking, was executed in 2021 in a car driven by Fedra; she emerged unscathed. - The viral video from August 28 showed domestic violence involving Héctor Villegas Barquero, former director of the Municipal Police investigated for corruption.

Messages from a Ghost: The Crime of Jamie Ray Feden
Messages from a Ghost: The Crime of Jamie Ray Feden: The murder case of Jamie Ray Feden A body tied to a post in the Nevada desert for weeks without anyone reporting her disappearance. Meanwhile, her social media continued to respond to messages as if she were alive. How is it possible for someone to simply disappear when her entire digital presence is still active? In this episode, we explore how a promised romantic getaway turned into a deadly trap, how John Matthew Chapman maintained a double marital life while executing a premeditated plan, and how the killer's messages from Jamie's cell phone were the evidence that implicated him. Contradictions between the version of "consensual accident" and the restraint kit found earlier, searches on how to hide a body, and a photograph taken at the crime scene with geolocation metadata that irrefutably linked him to first-degree murder. Victim: Jamie Ray Feden Date: September 25, 2019 Location: Lincoln County, Nevada Status: Sentenced to life in prison without parole (2024) - Body identified only through dental records and tattoos after weeks of decomposition in the desert. - Chapman took control of all of Jamie's social media and impersonated her digital identity for two months. - A trap with fake news of a family death revealed that it was not Jamie responding to the messages. - Chapman had also proposed an identical trip to Nevada to his wife Maurine under the same pretext of bondage sessions.

The Psychosis That the System Did Not Stop
The Psychosis That the System Did Not Stop: The Triple Homicide of André Lee Thomas Two active arrest warrants, a man who stabs himself in the chest and escapes from the hospital, and a notified police officer who does not act. Forty-eight hours later, three people are dead. André Lee Thomas voluntarily walks into the Sherman, Texas police station, confessing to a murder committed while extracting organs, convinced he was removing demons. The question that haunts this case: how does a justice system execute someone that the court admitted was "clearly insane"? In this episode, we explore the chain of failures that preceded the massacre: a mother telling her ten-year-old son that she should have aborted him, auditory hallucinations since childhood, unmonitored detentions, and a mental health clinic that requested his arrest but was ignored. We examine the trial where three jurors declared their opposition to interracial marriage, the "shuffle" technique that resulted in a 100% white jury, and the self-removal of eyes in prison that sparked international debates about legal sanity versus clinical reality. Victims: Laura Hughes (23 years old), André Lee Thomas Jr. (4 years old), Leya Marie Hughes (13 months old) Date: March 27, 2004 Location: Sherman, Texas, United States Status: Sentenced to death; no confirmed execution as of October 2022 - André was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of ten, but no juvenile court challenged his freedom without medication or supervision. - On March 25, 2004, an emergency room doctor issued a psychiatric emergency order; André escaped, and the police were notified but did not pursue him. - Inside the cell, five days after the arrest, André removed his right eye, quoting Matthew 5:29; four years later, he ingested the second eye. - The Supreme Court declined to review in October 2022, with three dissenting justices signing that the jury selection violated the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments.

The video game that unleashed bullets against her parents
The video game that unleashed bullets against his parents: The murder of Susan Patrick in Wellington, OhioA Halo 3 disc stored alongside a gun in the same safe. A 16-year-old pastor's son, with no history of violence, asked his parents to close their eyes for a surprise. In seconds, he fired three times. Can a video game erase the line between fiction and killing one's own parents?In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding Daniel Patrick: the confession of a week of planning presented simultaneously as evidence of premeditation and mental disturbance, the post-crime behavior incongruent with remorse, and the gap between the private forgiveness of the surviving father and the life sentence handed down. We investigate how the video game industry and experts in digital addiction faced off in a courtroom without definitive answers.Victim: Susan Patrick Date: October 20, 2007 Location: Wellington, Ohio, United States Status: Life sentence, parole eligible from 2030 - Daniel found the key to the safe that contained both his confiscated video game and his father's Taurus PT92 gun. - He spent 18 hours a day playing Halo 3 at a friend's house the weekend before the crime, building up anger against his father. - He attempted to stage a murder-suicide by forcing his injured father's hand onto the weapon after the shots were fired. - Three days after the crime, he casually asked investigators how a baseball game that his parents were going to see had ended.

The Bathtub: Two Teenagers, a Premeditated Crime, Confessed Chats
The Bathtub: Two Teenagers, a Premeditated Crime, Confessed Chats: The Murder of Margaret Lavenstein in Misasuga, Ontario Two honor students, 15 and 16 years old, planned their mother's murder over Messenger. They shared every detail with friends: a lethal mix of vodka and codeine, a drowning technique, behavior in front of the police. The autopsy revealed that their mother had a real chance of recovery. In this episode, we explore how the police classified the case as an accident for a year, how an undercover operation a month later captured recorded confessions that contradicted the narrative of accidental drowning, and why forensic toxicology demonstrated calculated and lethal intoxication. The chats, the search history about codeine and alcohol, and the $133,674 insurance policy tell a story of conspiracy perfectly documented by the killers themselves. Victim: Margaret "En" Lavenstein Date: January 18, 2003 Location: Misasuga, Ontario, Canada Status: Sentenced to 10 years (6 served); released 2009-2010 - Caroline submerged her mother for 4 minutes while Catherine watched, a specific detail that refutes any accident. - The sisters went out to celebrate at a restaurant 3 hours later, before simulating the discovery of the body. - Toxicology showed 5 times the legal limit of alcohol and 3 times the safe level of codeine in the victim. - The autopsy revealed only mild liver cirrhosis, contradicting the sisters' belief that their mother would inevitably die from alcoholism.

The price of ignoring alarms: Alisha Bronfield
The price of ignoring alarms: Alisha Bronfield: The murder of a pregnant 21-year-old employee in Wisconsin. A six-month pregnant employee reports harassment by her supervisor for five years. The company takes no action. One night, he forces her to travel four hours to a wedding, takes her to a hotel under false pretenses, and she ends up dead in her room. The most disturbing part: Brian Cooper called 911 confessing to intentional homicide - but he almost achieved a mistrial using intoxication as a defense. In this episode, we explore how an unfinished anger management order, a hidden camera installed in the bathroom, and corporate silence over half a decade converge on a night in August 2012. How did Home Depot allow a predatory supervisor to retain a victim who had already formally reported him? What forensic evidence closes the case when the killer himself confesses but Wisconsin law allowed for an unconsciousness argument? Victim: Alisha Bronfield Date: August 18, 2012 Location: Sand Bay Reserve, Door County, Wisconsin Status: Sentenced to two consecutive life sentences (2014) - Brian installed a spy microcamera in the hotel bathroom trash can before the trip, indicating explicit premeditation. - Alisha sent a message to her mother saying they would return, then another stating they stayed to "fix problems" - both messages within a two-hour window. - The 911 confession detailed a specific plan (to bind with wire) that Brian executed differently, demonstrating intent and awareness despite the alcohol. - Home Depot maintained records of a former employee (Jessica) who was also harassed by Brian, proving documented systemic negligence.

The selfie that sealed Farruco Pop's fate
The selfie that sealed Farruco Pop's fate: The murder of Farruco PopA photograph taken in a red-black mototaxi at 5:00 PM on May 20, 2024, was the last record of Farruco Pop alive. Five days later, he was found buried two meters deep in colonia El Limón, with Barrio 18 marks carved into his leg. How did an 18-year-old TikTok influencer end up in a grave dug by eight people?In this episode, we explore the contradiction that defines this mystery: an innocent selfie that hid a deadly trap, Beverly's role in the mototaxi, and how the jealousy of a gang member unleashed an execution with territorial signature. We analyze the strangulation, the postmortem shot, and the disappearance of those involved weeks after the crime.Victim: Farruco Pop, 18 years old Date: May 20, 2024 Location: Colonia El Limón, Guatemala Status: Two sentenced; four deceased or missing; two fugitives - The red cap found at the property connected Farruco to the scene before his body was identified. - His cell phone turned off exactly at 3:00 PM, closing the time window of the crime to three hours. - The letters HSR carved into his leg were not a tattoo: they were a territorial message from Barrio 18 after he was dead. - Four of the eight identified as participants were eliminated by the gang itself months later, presumably to erase traces.

Melania: The crime that the system announced
Melania: The crime that the system announced: The homicide of Melania Monserrat RiverosA man convicted of abusing an 8-year-old girl served only 3 years, was sent to live meters away from his victim, publicly threatened with revenge… and no one raised any alarms. On July 21, 2025, Melania disappeared. Her body was found with evidence of strangulation and dragged for 61 meters. Was this a homicide that the institutions deliberately ignored?In this episode, we explore how the epithelial tissue under Melania's nails points to two attackers, how Marcelo Jiménez Duarte's time gap exactly matches the estimated time of death, and why 16-year-old Juan Bautista had scratches inconsistent with his soccer alibi. A forensic analysis rules out staged suicide. Judge Omar Baeza and prosecutor Ramírez face institutional investigation. What will the seized messages from Melania's friend's cell phone reveal?Victim: Melania Monserrat Riveros Date: July 21, 2025 Location: Paraguay Status: Ongoing investigation; preventive detention of two defendants - The judge who granted parole to Marcelo after only 3 years was unaware that he lived meters from his victim, according to his statement, but the entire community knew.- The initial forensic expert ruled out a thorough autopsy; only public pressure reversed the decision, revealing strangulation, dragging, and the hypothesis of two attackers.- Juan Bautista initially refused a medical examination; when he accepted, he had scratches on his arms and legs that matched the victim's defense and tissue under Melania's nails.- The pants tied around Melania's neck were interpreted as staging a suicide, but strangulation marks and the position of the body (kneeling, held from behind) definitively rule out this hypothesis.Melania Monserrat Riveros, Paraguay, murder, 2025, strangulation, forensic, intentional homicide, criminal minds, sexual abuse, institutional corruption, parole, investigation, Spanish true crimeIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

15,000 witnesses and no answers: the live murder of Valeria
15,000 witnesses and no answers: the live murder of Valeria: The homicide of Valeria Márquez. A TikTok broadcast captured the exact moment. More than 15,000 people watched as a young businesswoman was murdered in real time, but no one could intervene. The impossible: three delivery drivers, gifts as bait, and a friend whose timing was too perfect. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that divide the authorities: the Jalisco Prosecutor's Office denies links to drug trafficking while the U. S. Department of the Treasury sanctions the main suspect. We analyze the bouquet of "Forgiveness" left six days later, the exterior camera sabotaged a week before the crime, and the messages from Viviana that kept Valeria in the lounge just minutes before the attack. Who coordinated this murder and what does her immediate circle know? Victim: Valeria Márquez Date: May 13, 2025 Location: Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico Status: Open case, zero arrests - The first delivery driver refused to leave a package allegedly containing a weapon when Valeria was not present. - C5 cameras captured two men: one fled on a motorcycle, the other in a white car via completely different routes. - A bouquet of roses with a "Forgiveness" ribbon arrived six days later; the buyer was identified but never physically located. - Viviana sent messages asking Valeria to stay in the lounge exactly 15 minutes before the third subject entered.

The doctor who confessed where Francisco was
The doctor who confessed where Francisco was: The homicide of Francisco Albornoz in Santiago-San FernandoAn Ecuadorian doctor voluntarily presented himself to the prosecutor's office twelve days after the disappearance of a 21-year-old young man, confessed exactly where the body was, and provided the name of the responsible party. However, his overdose account clashed directly with the findings of the autopsy: cranioencephalic trauma with injuries incompatible with a fall.In this episode, we explore the night of May 23 inside an apartment in Ñuñoa, where Francisco went from being "confused and scared" to becoming a homicide victim. We analyze the contradictions between the doctor's version, the forensic evidence, and the trail of violent behavior linking the detained chef: burned clothing in a stove, a deliberately destroyed phone, and a pattern of extreme practices with sedated victims.Victim: Francisco Albornoz Date: May 23-24, 2025 Location: Santiago and San Fernando, Chile Status: Two defendants in preventive detention for simple homicide - A doctor bought four bags of drugs at 9:15 PM the same night, paying 35,000 pesos on Avenida Bustamante. - The Instagram story posted at 1:00 AM mentioned vomiting, but Francisco was missing: no one confirmed who wrote it. - Francisco's clothing was found partially burned in the chef's stove, days after the body was discovered. - The official autopsy ruled out overdose and confirmed cranioencephalic trauma with injuries that the prosecutor attributed to direct violence, not to an accidental fall.

Stained Boots: The Secret of the Naucalpan Workshop: The Disappearance of Kimberly Hillary Moya GonzálezOn October 2, 2025, Kimberly leaves her home in Naucalpan and never returns. A week later, cameras capture two men leading her to a gray Volkswagen. The impossible: inside a machine shop, they find boots with blood, buried toys, and symbols of a spiritualist cult. The DNA matches. Why do the accused have more blood from other crimes in their records?In this episode, we explore the C4 recordings that show the live abduction, the phone records linking the suspects to a religious temple that closed the day after the disappearance, and the contradiction between the GPS and the statements of the detainees. Who else is involved in this network operating under religious symbols?Victim: Kimberly Hillary Moya González Date: October 2, 2025 Location: Naucalpan, State of Mexico Status: Missing, open investigation - The boots found in the workshop contain DNA from Kimberly; identical to those in the disappearance video - Gabriel Rafael N accumulated three hours of calls with the spiritualist temple on the same day of the abduction - The suspect's GPS placed him in the workshop until 11:00 PM, contradicting his statement of having left at 7:00 PM - A temple linked to the accused closed with a sign of "personal reasons" exactly one day after the disappearance Kimberly Hillary Moya González, Naucalpan disappearance, 2025, kidnapping, forensic investigation, unsolved mystery, homicide, criminal minds, true crime, institutional corruption, religious cult, Spanish true crime If you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The letter that the police ignored: Celeste Mano
The letter that the police ignored: Celeste Mano: The murder of Celeste Mano in Melbourne, Australia A court order was issued. It was explicitly violated with a three-page letter. The police witnessed it and chose to do nothing. Three months later, a man entered through Celeste's window with a knife. How many institutional failures must a victim tolerate before it is too late? In this episode, we explore the two critical moments when the Melbourne police had the opportunity to stop Loay: first, when they minimized cyberbullying in December 2019, falsely claiming it was not a crime; second, when they witnessed the violation of the restraining order in August 2020 and decided not to investigate. We analyze the 2 minutes and 39 seconds attack, the autopsy that revealed 23 stab wounds, and the defense that collapsed under forensic evidence. Why did the system protect the harasser instead of the victim? Victim: Celeste Mano Date: November 16, 2020 Location: Morda, Melbourne, Australia Status: Murder; sentenced to 36 years - Loay kissed Celeste without consent on the day of her dismissal, establishing from the beginning his willingness to cross physical boundaries. - The police falsely claimed in December 2019 that cyberbullying was not a crime under Australian law, when the law explicitly protected victims of digital harassment. - On August 15, 2020, Loay sent a three-page letter violating the restraining order while police officers witnessed the opening of the file; they did not act. - Loay claimed at the hearing that only two wounds were his, but the autopsy documented 23 stab wounds and a fatal injury to the heart that completely contradicts his version.

The 24 minutes that condemned Benjamin Elliot
The 24 Minutes That Condemned Benjamin Elliot: The Murder of Megan Elliot At 4:41 AM on September 29, 2021, a teenager called 911 from Katy, Texas, to confess that he had just stabbed his twin sister while she was sleeping. Cell phone records show that Benjamin Elliot had been active for over 40 minutes before making the call. The question that defined the trial: Can a sleepwalker disable alarms, walk between rooms, and execute a fatal attack, all without truly waking up? In this episode, we explore the battle between neuroscientists and prosecutors to interpret 24 minutes of silence in the device's record, the contradiction between Benjamin's partial memory of the second stab and the total amnesia that sleepwalking should produce, and the forensic state of Megan's body, which indicated death hours before the emergency call. Was it a premeditated crime or the extreme manifestation of a clinically undocumented sleep disorder? Victim: Megan Elliot Date: September 29, 2021 Location: Katy, Texas, United States Case Status: Guilty, 15 years sentence (February 24, 2025) - Benjamin's cell phone shows activity at 4:01 AM disabling a school alarm, contradictory to his statement of being asleep since 3 AM. - Megan's body showed pale gray coloration and coagulated blood upon paramedics' arrival, evidence consistent with death 3-4 hours before the 911 call. - Benjamin only remembered the second stab but not the first, clinically incompatible with the total amnesia expected in documented sleepwalking episodes. - Sleepwalking never reoccurred in the 3 years following the crime, weakening the narrative of an active chronic disorder.

More than ten shots pierce the armor of her vehicle. Her belongings remain untouched. The attackers did not come to steal: they came to carry out a sentence.In this episode, we explore a relationship kept secret for a year, the gift of a luxury SUV posted on social media on September 16, and the death threats that arrived four days later. We unravel the documented surveillance during the ten days prior, the nine-millimeter shell casings on the asphalt, and the unanswered question: who ordered the murder of Michelle Soto, and what gesture triggered the death sentence?Victim: Michelle Soto Solares Date: September 30, 2025 Location: Km 61, Escuintla highway, Guatemala Status: No arrests; Prosecutor's Office against the Crime of Femicide under investigation - More than ten shots of 9 mm caliber pierced the armor of the vehicle without the attackers stealing anything. - Michelle posted photos with Denis Méndez and the gifted SUV on September 16; surveillance began four days later. - Security cameras documented active tracking at least ten days before the attack on a low-traffic stretch. - Messages on Michelle's cell phone contain a direct death threat from a woman identifying herself as Denis's wife, sent days before the crime.

The Metabolism Guru: Unexplained Fall of Frank Suárez Frank Suárez enters his building at 7:50 AM on February 25, 2021. Minutes later, his body is found on the 9th floor, but he lived on the 6th floor. The police close the case in less than 24 hours without digital forensics, ignoring the testimony of a neighbor who saw an unknown person forcing his lock that same morning. In this episode, we explore the inconsistencies surrounding the death of the founder of Natural Slim and The Metabolismo TV: the discrepancy of three floors, the absence of documented forensic analysis, and the immediate cremation that prevented a second evaluation. How does a declared critic of the pharmaceutical industry end up dead without the obvious being investigated?

The night Jack dismembered his pregnant sister
The night Jack dismembered his pregnant sister: The murder of Betany Bad Israel A mother called 911 believing her son had killed her daughter. Police found massive blood in the kitchen, a bloody saw, an axe, and large knives. Betany, 30 years old and 17 weeks pregnant, went to dinner with her brother Jack in Lakeville. What dark resentment motivated this act of extreme violence? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that define this homicide case: Jack's journals reveal violent thoughts about Betany's "innocence," but the true cause remains shrouded in forensic mystery. We analyze how the prosecution escalated the charges from second-degree murder to first-degree premeditated murder, and how Jack, minutes after the crime, responded coherently about the date and time—a detail that confounds the insanity narrative. Victim: Betany Bad Israel Date: May 23, 2024 Location: Lakeville, Minnesota Status: Jack Bad pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree premeditated murder (January 21, 2026) - Betany was found dismembered postmortem with her 17-18 week deceased fetus in her womb - The remains were scattered in multiple locations: inside the house, on the neighbor's stairs, next to a shed in Rosemount - Jack was captured with a self-inflicted neck wound, covered in blood, responding coherently to questions about mental competency - Jack's handwritten journals contained direct references to anger because Betany's pregnancy meant she was "no longer innocent" Betany Bad Israel, Lakeville Minnesota dismemberment murder 2024, premeditated murder, forensic investigation, criminal minds, true crime, unsolved mystery, true crime SpanishTo listen ad-free and access premium episodes, start your 14-day free trial at obomedia.comOBOMEDIA presents true crime storiesa true crime podcast built on real cases.Every true crime story in our crime files follows the crime investigation from the missing person report to the trial: investigators and police building a murder case, a police investigation gone cold, justice for the victim and those who survived.We open the unsolved murder, the cold case reopened decades later, the mysterious death, the disappearance, the serial killer, the family murder, the murder mystery; the missing persons a missing woman, a missing girl, a missing man found dead and the missing and murdered.From the infamous case to the unsolved case, from classic true crime to dark true crime and disturbing true crime: true crime reports, real crime stories, real murder cases, true murder stories and unsolved mysteries one true crime case at a time, from the OBOMEDIA true crime vault.© 2026 Created with OBOMEDIA technology.

The red shoelaces that revealed the lost name
The red shoelaces that revealed the lost name: The homicide of Guadalupe Medina Pichardo A four-year-old girl was found dead in an empty lot in Nezahualcóyotl on March 18, 2017, wearing red shoelaces. Nine months later, no one knew her name. The question that no one dared to ask: how does a girl disappear without her own mother reporting her absence? In this episode, we explore how a feminist activist and a forensic expert achieved what the official investigation could not: identifying Guadalupe Medina Pichardo through a composite sketch, a revealing video, and the testimony of a stranger who saw her asking for food on the street. We unravel the contradictions between the accounts of the mother and her partner, the report of abuse filed just one day before the crime, and how the killers confessed under interrogation. Victim: Guadalupe Medina Pichardo Date: March 18, 2017 Location: Nezahualcóyotl, State of Mexico Status: Sentenced to 88 years in prison (September 2019) - A girl without a birth certificate was never reported missing by her biological mother. - The body was buried in a mass grave as "Angelita" while the police closed the case without identification. - An anonymous citizen recognized Lupita in a televised sketch based on forensic data and sent a video where she was wearing the same red shoelaces. - The grandmother reported child abuse and sexual abuse against another daughter of Yadira exactly one day before the murder.

The night Mario voluntarily surrendered
The night Mario voluntarily surrendered: The femicide of Victoria Pamela SalasIn the early morning of September 2, 2017, an employee of the Novocuapa Hotel in Tlalpan saw a man leaving room 20 alone. Victoria Pamela Salas, 23 years old, never came out alive. Seventeen hours later, her body was found under hot water in the shower with a stab wound to her neck. The impossible: her boyfriend, Mexico's most famous skater, attended the funeral with a document that supposedly proved his innocence.In this episode, we explore the contradictions that divided a country: the DNA under Victoria's nails matched Mario's, but their phones were not in the same location according to geolocation. The hotel cameras failed just during the events. The key witness for his alibi disappeared and never testified in court. How did the most wanted man by Interpol in 190 countries voluntarily surrender almost two years later, proclaiming his innocence?Victim: Victoria Pamela Salas Date: August 31 - September 2, 2017 Location: Novocuapa Hotel, Tlalpan, Mexico City Status: Sentenced to 45 years (2 out of 3 judges voted guilty)- Hotel employees identified Mario entering and leaving alone, but cell phone geolocation did not place him in the area. - Mario's DNA under Victoria's nails revealed physical struggle, pivoting the arrest warrant after 37 days of searching. - Surveillance cameras technically failed during the exact hours of the crime, eliminating the only direct visual evidence. - Arlet Duarte, the central witness who would place Victoria with another man, never appeared in the five-year oral trial.

The nurse who waited underwater
The nurse who waited underwater: The homicide of Carisa Darwin On the night of October 17, 2011, a certified nurse calls 911 to report that his pregnant wife is drowning in the bathtub. He does not remove the plug. He does not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He just waits while she and her 20-week-old baby die. The question that obsessed investigators: was it criminal negligence or murder dose by dose? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that dismantled his defense: searches for lethal doses of lorazepam seven days prior, 275 text messages with his lover on the day of the crime, and a sedative that appeared twice in the victim's body. The documented inaction of a healthcare professional who claimed not to know how to perform CPR, and the removal of a pornography filter minutes before the emergency call that placed him at home, not on a run as he claimed. Victim: Carisa Darwin Date: October 17, 2011 Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Status: Sentenced to 15 years - sentence confirmed May 2022 - Philip searched Wikipedia for "lethal doses of ativan" exactly two minutes before the first consultation, establishing premeditated knowledge of the drug. - Three days before her death, Carisa was admitted to the hospital with lorazepam in her blood that no doctor prescribed; she was discharged without a criminal investigation. - The 911 operator explicitly recorded that Philip did not attempt to remove the plug or perform resuscitation maneuvers during the 14 minutes of the call. - Philip met with his marriage counselor the next day and stated that he would not buy a double plot in the cemetery because "maybe he would remarry."

Eight dead, a two-year-old girl, and an eight-month-long revenge.
Eight dead, a two-year-old girl, and an eight-month-long revenge: The Pike County massacre On the morning of April 22, 2016, Bobby Joe Manley opens the door of a trailer in Pike County, Ohio, and finds bodies in pools of blood. Thirty-two silenced shots pierced an entire family while they slept - and no one heard anything. Christopher Roden wakes up with a defensive wound on his right arm, confronts the attackers, and is shot nine times. The rest executed without resistance. How does a perfect silencer allow three children to sleep in neighboring houses? In this episode, we explore the investigation that lasted eighteen months without answers: 550 interrogated, 100 leads, but no DNA from the perpetrators. The Wagner and Roden families had been in a custody dispute over a two-year-old girl for years. Christmas 2015: the Wagner family votes to exterminate the Roden clan. Eight months of surveillance, homemade silencers, purchased and destroyed sneakers. The confession came exactly five years later, on the anniversary day. Victim: Christopher Roden Date: April 22, 2016 Location: Pike County, Ohio, United States Status: Eight life sentences, additional convictions, one trial pending - Christopher wakes up with a defensive wound on his right arm: the only adult who confronted the attackers and received nine consecutive shots. - Thirty-two silenced shots: no one in the community reported detonations, revealing professional planning. - Five types of Remington casings plus one bullet from another model: at least two attackers operated simultaneously in separate houses. - A blood-stained shoe print matches exactly with sneakers purchased by Angela Wagner weeks before the crime.

The Michigan Freezer: Three Years of Deadly Secrets
The Michigan Freezer: Three Years of Deadly Secrets: The Case of Michelle Blair An eviction order for unpaid rent was the only thing separating Detroit from one of the most heinous crimes in its history. When law enforcement opened that freezer in March 2015, they discovered two bodies wrapped in plastic - siblings who had been missing for almost three years. The impossible question: how could a mother live with her murdered children under the same roof, having breakfast alongside them, while collecting state assistance? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that tear apart this homicide: Michelle Blair's confession about sexual abuse that investigators never proved, the testimony of her surviving daughter that contradicts every word, and the documented scars of sustained torture that paint a completely different picture. Maternal justice or calculated monstrosity? The forensic facts speak louder than any excuse. Victims: Steven Gage Berry, Stony Blair Date: August 2012 - May 2013 (murders); March 24, 2015 (discovery) Location: Detroit, Michigan, Martin Luther King neighborhood Status: Michelle Blair - Life imprisonment without parole, June 2015 - The bodies remained in the freezer for 2.5 years while Blair received $771 monthly in state assistance for her "missing" children. - The surviving daughter testified that her brother denied abuse until Blair threatened him with beatings; the "confession" was fabricated under duress. - Child Protective Services investigated Blair in 2002 and 2005 for suspected abuse; both times she was allowed to retain full custody. - A medical examination found 25 scars and wounds on Matthew, burns and a broken tooth on Gabi - documented evidence of prolonged torture without state intervention.

Gabi's last selfie: blood ignored in Moab
The last selfie of Gabi: ignored blood in Moab: The murder of Gabrielle Petito A young woman disappears during a road trip in a white van. Police had her in front of them with blood on her face, crying, apologizing for "being in a bad mood" - and they let her go. How did they overlook such an obvious domestic violence scene? In this episode, we explore the fatal contradictions that allowed the killer to escape: Gabi's selfie with blood under her left eye versus the police conclusion that she was the aggressor, the text messages written by someone else after her disappearance, and the letter from the killer's mother mentioning shovels and burials. Every piece of forensic evidence points to a truth that authorities took too long to recognize. Victim: Gabrielle Petito Date: July 2 - September 19, 2021 Location: Moab, Utah; Grand Teton, Wyoming; Northport, Florida Status: Homicide solved; killer deceased (suicide); civil lawsuit ongoing - Moab police separated the couple after a 911 call but did not document Gabi's selfie with blood on her face taken that same night. - Brian sent a text message posing as Gabi three days after she went missing, addressed to her grandfather with a nickname she never used. - The killer's mother wrote a letter mentioning taking a shovel and burying a body, found among his belongings after his death. - They agreed to a payment of 3 million dollars to the killer's parents, while the Petito family faces a 50 million civil lawsuit against the Moab police.

The unlocked door and the invisible predator
The unlocked door and the invisible predator: The murder of Briana Denison A young woman sleeping on a couch, just meters away from her friend. An unsecured glass door. At 4 a.m. on January 20, 2008, Briana Denison disappears from a house in Reno without leaving an audible trace. How does a man enter an occupied home, abduct his victim, and vanish in silence? In this episode, we explore three previous identical attacks linked by DNA, a gray Toyota Tacoma with incriminating clues, and another woman's underwear found alongside the body. A pattern of trophies, unexplained nighttime absences, and a girlfriend who breaks her alibi reveal how a pipe installer operated as a silent predator in the university shadows. Victim: Briana Denison Date: January 20, 2008 Location: Reno, Nevada Status: Guilty - Life imprisonment + death penalty (2010) - James Michael Biela enters the house without forcing the lock; visible orange socks under branches confirm intent to conceal, not accidental entry. - Four victims linked by DNA in 3 months; the fourth attack occurred earlier, but stolen underwear appears alongside Briana months later. - Biela's girlfriend discovers women's clothing in his truck during a trip to Sierra Washington; her testimony destroys the only defense of an alibi. - The underwear found on the body did not belong to Briana; the origin and purpose were never publicly resolved, suggesting prior trophy behavior.

Five distinct genetic profiles will appear on her body. The same police officers who led the search were her murderers. A forensic investigation reveals an institutional cover-up so systematic that it took 22 years to achieve definitive sentences.In this episode, we explore the impossible contradictions that define this homicide: how Natalia's body was found 800 meters from an area that the police claimed to have thoroughly searched, why a fifth DNA profile remains unidentified decades later, and how the Argentine State murdered one of its citizens and directed its own investigation. From the prohibition of disseminating images to post-mortem cut nails and a police van repainted white, every detail exposes a perfect crime that was not so perfect.Victim: Natalia Melman Date: February 3, 2001 Location: Mar del Plata, Argentina Status: Multiple convictions; one unidentified fifth suspect - Five distinct genetic profiles on the body, but none of the culprits acknowledged their actions or apologized. - The body was found exactly 800 meters from the area that the police claimed to have meticulously combed for days. - Sergeant Ricardo Panadero remained active in the police force for seven years after his DNA matched 97 percent with forensic evidence. - A law reduced El Gallo's sentence from 19 years to 4 years, while the three police officers received reductions that sparked Saturday marches for years.

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?

The phone that confessed a crime in the desert
The phone that confessed a crime in the desert: The murder of Leslie Palacio A disposable phone lights up in Valley of Fire, Nevada. A voluntary confession to a friend. A request for gasoline to avoid cameras. The suspect was never apprehended. How is it possible that a man who confessed to a murder to a witness, left video of his crime, geolocation, and DNA, has been on the run for over four years? In this episode, we explore the clues that point directly to Eric Rangel: the neighborhood video that captures the transfer of Leslie's body in the trunk, the blood in his room, and the recorded confession that was never enough. While the police waited 72 hours, the family investigated their own death. The question that haunts the case: why does the cause of death remain undetermined three years later?

Throw yourself or I’ll throw you: The secret of the seventh floor
Throw yourself or I'll throw you: The secret of the seventh floor: The murder of Iván Ortiguera in Pergamino, Buenos AiresIván Ortiguera, 16 years old, falls from the seventh floor at 9:40 AM on January 6, 2012. His boyfriend Fabián Núñez, the father of his girlfriend, admits to having shouted "throw yourself or I'll throw you" moments before. The problem: the autopsy reveals that the boy fell unconscious, making it impossible for him to jump voluntarily. How does someone who is unconscious commit suicide?In this episode, we explore the deadly contradiction that destroys the official version. Two neighbors describe from the balcony how Núñez holds Iván by the neck with half of his body outside the window, blood on his head, with no reaction whatsoever.

The pastor who paid 400 dollars for his wife
The pastor who paid $400 for his wife: The murder of Sara Mariano in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil On the night of October 24, 2023, Sara Mariano got into a vehicle believing she was attending a women's meeting at her church. Minutes later, her body was dragged into a nearby forest. The inexplicable: her husband, Pastor Ederlan Mariano, was recording videos crying on social media asking for her to come home, while his accomplices were burning her body just minutes from their house. In this episode, we explore how a revered religious leader with 100,000 followers on Instagram orchestrated a homicide for less than $400, the network of hitmen who executed the crime, and the contradictions that unraveled his alibi: the absence of a non-existent religious event, the deleted cellphone, and the coordinated confessions of three accomplices. The church, the image of a perfect family, and social media were not tools of salvation, but of cover-up. Victim: Sara Mariano Date: October 24, 2023 Location: Salvador de Bahia, Brazil Status: Three detained; no trial date - Ederlan Mariano paid 2,000 reais (approximately $400) to three men to murder his wife after discovering an alleged infidelity. - Sara had confessed to her mother days before that she would make "a decision" about her marriage; she was later found charred on a wooded road. - The pastor recorded videos in national media asking for her to appear while her body was burning in a second burning operation ordered by him. - Víctor Gabriel, who physically restrained Sara during the stabbing, voluntarily came forward and confessed, but was released due to the absence of an arrest warrant.

The girl who planned the massacre of her family
The girl who planned the massacre of her family: The murders of Medicine Hat, Alberta. A house on fire drawn on a school locker. Two figures fleeing. On April 24, 2006, a six-year-old neighbor discovers three corpses in the basement of a home in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The impossible: a 12-year-old girl and her 23-year-old boyfriend had publicly announced their plan to murder her family while adults listened without intervening. In this episode, we explore every ignored warning: the emails from March where Yasmine wrote, "I have a plan that starts with me killing and ends with me living with you," the public confession at a party while witnesses remained silent, and how an integrated family was exterminated while all the signs were overlooked. Why did no one stop this couple before they executed their documented conspiracy? Victims: Mark, Debra, and Jacob Richardson Date: April 23-24, 2006 Location: Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada Status: Both convicted; Yasmine released in 2016 with a new identity - Jeremy Steinke entered through a window that Yasmine deliberately opened at 3:00 a.m. on April 23 - A prophetic drawing on the school locker showed a house on fire and two fleeing figures before anyone was killed - Yasmine killed her 8-year-old brother with a toy sword while their parents were attacked in the basement - Jeremy publicly confessed at a party the same night: "We just came from killing Yasmine's family," and no witness reported it to the authorities Yasmine Richardson, Medicine Hat, family massacre, 2006, murder, serial killer, criminal minds, investigation, conspiracy, true crime, true crime SpanishTo listen ad-free and access premium episodes, start your 14-day free trial at obomedia.comOBOMEDIA presents true crime storiesa true crime podcast built on real cases.Every true crime story in our crime files follows the crime investigation from the missing person report to the trial: investigators and police building a murder case, a police investigation gone cold, justice for the victim and those who survived.We open the unsolved murder, the cold case reopened decades later, the mysterious death, the disappearance, the serial killer, the family murder, the murder mystery; the missing persons a missing woman, a missing girl, a missing man found dead and the missing and murdered.From the infamous case to the unsolved case, from classic true crime to dark true crime and disturbing true crime: true crime reports, real crime stories, real murder cases, true murder stories and unsolved mysteries one true crime case at a time, from the OBOMEDIA true crime vault.© 2026 Created with OBOMEDIA technology.

The 5 Minutes That Honduras Wanted to Forget
The 5 Minutes That Honduras Wanted to Forget: The Homicide of Keila MartínezA concrete ceiling with no support. A nursing student detained for violating curfew. Hours later, dead in police custody. The police say strangulation; the hospital says she arrived lifeless. Forensic video confirms that an officer was alone with her for 5-6 minutes. An autopsy orders: mechanical asphyxia by third parties.In this episode, we explore the progressive degradation of an investigation in Honduras: how a case of aggravated femicide turned into negligent homicide by omission, how forensic evidence was dismissed, and how the accused was released two weeks after his sentencing. We analyze the contradiction between the police version and the hospital report, the judicial inspection that invalidates the account of strangulation, and the threats against the family after demanding justice. Why was no other officer investigated?Victim: Keila Martínez, 26 years oldDate: February 6-7, 2021Location: Departmental Police Unit No. 10, La Esperanza, Intibucá, HondurasStatus: Homicide unsolved; structural impunity- The forensic video confirms that Harold Rolando Perdomo Sarmiento was alone in Keila's cell for 5-6 minutes and left his post without documented justification.- The preliminary autopsy on February 9, 2021, orders mechanical asphyxia by third parties, ruling out suicide; the sentence was issued under the classification of negligent homicide by omission.- The judicial inspection of the cell confirmed that the ceiling was a concrete slab with no support, making the strangulation described by the police physically impossible.- Perdomo was sentenced to 5 years in prison on February 15, 2024, and released on February 28, 2024; no other officer was investigated or prosecuted.Keila Martínez, La Esperanza Honduras 2021, femicide in custody, Honduras impunity, forensic autopsy, police investigation, concealed homicide, degraded justice, criminal minds, structural corruption, true crime SpanishIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

24 stabs: the mother who stopped the killer
24 stabs: the mother who stopped the killer: The femicide of Isabela Mesa SánchezA suitcase with blood fluid discovered when a mother finds her son mopping the floor without explanation. Isabela disappeared in Medellín on January 28, 2024, but the signs of control and threat had been active for months: messages prohibiting dating apps, a ban on the father of her child, verbal death threats. How did a long-distance relationship escalate to 24 stabs distributed across the neck, chest, and abdomen?In this episode, we explore Sebastián Villegas's initial confession to his mother against his later denial in court, the pattern of psychological control that Isabela normalized as jealousy from a distance, and the struggle witnessed by friends on the night of the crime that no one reported as a warning. The defensive wounds on her forearms tell a story of resistance; a mother's decision to report her own son tells another story of justice.Victim: Isabela Mesa Sánchez Date: January 28, 2024 Location: Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia Status: Convicted, 31 years 3 months, May 2024 - The struggle at the party was witnessed by friends; no one reported it as an imminent threat. - Villegas confessed "I killed her" to his mother before fleeing, but denied all charges 48 hours later in court. - The body was found in a fetal position inside a suitcase with blood fluid; 8 stabs only in the cervical region. - He attempted to escape through a window on February 3 from his cell, demonstrating that the voluntary surrender was not remorse.Isabela Mesa Sánchez, Medellín femicide 2024, serial killer claims, psychological control, criminal minds, aggravated murder, forensic investigation, crime of passion, justice Colombia, true crime SpanishIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The refrigerator gift: murder in Posadas: The homicide of Natalia Samaniego in MisionesA mother gifts a refrigerator to her recently moved-in daughter. Nine days later, neighbors discover a foul smell in the apartment: Natalia's body was inside, tied with the sheet from the same gift. Juan, her partner, sent messages from the deceased's cell phone while the corpse decomposed in the kitchen.In this episode, we explore how Juan Carlis convinced Natalia to move in knowing he would kill her, how he faked that she was still alive through post-mortem messages, and why he wrote a letter addressed to Lucifer signed in blood confessing the murder. The autopsy revealed manual strangulation without defense; experts confirmed full criminal awareness despite the media manipulation of a "suicidal pact" that never existed.Victim: Natalia Samaniego, 24 years old Date: September 1, 2018 Location: Posadas, Misiones, Argentina Status: Life imprisonment (November 2021) - Body found inside refrigerator tied with sheet from mother's gift - Juan sent a message to Natalia's mother from the victim's cell phone when she was already dead - Wrote a letter addressed to Lucifer signed in blood: "let there be no evidence that I was the one who killed her" - Posted photos on Facebook on September 8 while the corpse decomposed in the apartment Natalia Samaniego, Posadas Misiones, murder, strangulation, 2018, investigation, mystery, gender violence, true crime, forensic, aggravated homicide, judicial truth, true crime Spanish If you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The Opposite Path: Hidden Asphyxiation in Eight Years: The homicide of Victoria Mafra NataliniA 17-year-old student disappears on a monitored estate and is found dead 1.5 kilometers in the opposite direction from the bathroom she was heading to. Official forensics declared natural causes. Eight years later, a father turned private investigator proved the impossible: Victoria was asphyxiated, and the State knew it too late.In this episode, we explore how a deficient autopsy buried the truth, how a crucial witness was dismissed in 2015 but re-evaluated years later, and why no official investigation identified a suspect despite the confirmed mechanical asphyxiation. We analyze institutional negligence, the crime scene that was never preserved, and the lingering question: who was on that path?Victim: Victoria Mafra Natalini Date: September 11-12, 2015 Location: Fazenda Pereiras, Itu, São Paulo, Brazil Status: Case referred to Homicides; no arrests; civil trial on appeal - Official autopsy ruled natural causes; private experts later confirmed direct mechanical asphyxiation - Body found 1.5 km in the opposite direction from the bathroom, prone position with arms intertwined indicating post-mortem manipulation - Tractor employee witness saw Victoria enter the headquarters between 14:30-15:00; police interviewed him and dismissed him in 2015 - Two-hour monitoring window without adult supervision; insufficient supervision ratio (5 adults for 34 minors on a large property) Victoria Mafra Natalini, Itu São Paulo 2015, asphyxiation, murder, failed investigation, forensics, unsolved mystery, negligence, delayed justice, homicide, private expertise, 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.

The Night That Brought Down a Government: Who Killed María Soledad
The Night That Brought Down a Government: Who Killed María Soledad: The murder of María Soledad Morales in CatamarcaSaturday, September 8, 1990, 3:30 AM. A 17-year-old student disappears from a nightclub in Catamarca and is found dead two days later with signs of sexual abuse and a lethal injection in her body. The impossible part: the police had already washed the corpse down with a hose before they officially "found" it. How many officials from the Argentine state worked to make sure no one knew the truth?In this episode, we explore how witnesses recanted statements live in court, how one defendant’s alibi collapsed seven years later, and how the order to arrest the cover-up participants was never carried out. The court named 18 witnesses for perjury, 21 for obstruction, and 17 police officers involved, but the statute of limitations erased everything before justice could act.Victim: María Soledad MoralesDate: September 8-10, 1990Location: Catamarca, Argentina (Route 38)Status: Partial conviction; obstruction time-barred- The bus driver saw patrol cars over the body hours before the official discovery; he was kicked off the scene.- The injected drug exceeded the lethal level (34.6 micrograms vs. 27 required); it rules out voluntary use.- Gustavo Garzón testified that they asked him to falsify university attendance to create a Buenos Aires alibi.- 66 mass marches brought down the governor, but Ibáñez, Méndez and the Jalil brothers were never tried.María Soledad Morales, Catamarca murder, 1990, sexual abuse, tainted investigation, state cover-up, Argentine justice, criminal minds, imperfect homicide, provincial corruption, Spanish true crimeIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and get access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The tattoo that Daniela revealed in Playa del Carmen
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.

The mother who hunted down ten killers in narco territory
The mother who hunted down ten killers in narco territory: The murder of Karen Rodríguez MartínezOne night at the El Junior restaurant, Miriam heard a name: Sama. Her daughter Karen had been missing for 72 hours after a kidnapping in San Fernando, Tamaulipas—a city under the control of the Zetas. The ransom paid did not bring Karen back. Miriam decided that the police would not do it: she would understand for herself why.In this episode, we explore how a mother without forensic training tracked down Sama on Facebook, disguised herself as a state official, and forced the investigation to move forward while the State opted for silence. We will uncover Cristian Zapata's confession, the abandoned ranch, and the impossible contradiction: the Mexican police expertise denied that the remains were Karen's; American specialists confirmed her DNA a year later. Who then ordered the thirteen shots that killed Miriam on Mother's Day?Victim: Karen Rodríguez Martínez Date: January 23, 2014 (kidnapping); May 10, 2017 (Miriam's murder) Location: San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico Status: Ten criminals captured; mastermind unidentified - Miriam identified the kidnapper as Uriel Elizondo, 19 years old, a member of the Zetas, using only physical surveillance and a disguise. - The fragment of Karen's femur was rejected by initial Mexican expertise but confirmed by American DNA twelve months later. - Two of the convicts captured by Miriam escaped from prison in March 2017—just six weeks before her murder. - Eric Leonel and Alfredo confessed to executing Miriam but never revealed the name of the person who ordered her killing.

Five years, two crimes, one killer on the loose
Five years, two crimes, one killer free: The case of Natalie Holloway and Joran van der Sloot A student disappears on a tourist island at 1:30 AM. Her bag is left open in the hotel, her passport intact, her bed unused. The young man who was last seen with her will give five different versions on national television, each contradicting the previous one, while remaining at large. In this episode, we explore how a confessed suspect managed to operate with impunity for a decade: the contradictions between eyewitness testimony and security cameras, the false televised confessions he later denied via email, and the $25,000 extortion coordinated with the FBI. Exactly five years after Natalie’s disappearance, Joran commits a second murder in Peru that finally leads to his arrest. How did the judicial system of three countries fail simultaneously? Victim: Natalie Holloway Date: May 30, 2005 Location: Aruba (disappearance); Lima, Peru (second crime) Status: Case resolved (2023); body never recovered - Natalie disappears after getting into a car with Joran van der Sloot at 1:30 AM; security cameras never record her returning to the hotel. - Joran confesses on hidden camera (February 2008) to having thrown the body into the sea, but he later denies the confession via email days later. - Exactly five years later, Stephany Flores disappears in Lima under identical circumstances; her body is found in a hotel room registered to Joran. - In 2023, after being extradited to the U. S., Joran pleads guilty in federal court: he struck Natalie after a sexual rejection, dragged her body to the shore, and threw it into the sea.

The blonde man from Glenelg: three missing children
The blonde man from Glenelg: three missing children: The disappearance of Jane, Arnna, and Grant Beaumont Three children board a bus at 8:45 AM on January 26, 1966, in front of dozens of witnesses in broad daylight. At 12:15, they are last seen leaving the beach with a blonde man in his thirties. They never return. Five decades later, millions of dollars in rewards and multiple dismissed suspects still leave one simple question unanswered: who was that man and where are the bodies? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that define this unsolved homicide case: a one-pound note that an adult must have provided to the children that day, excavations that found anomalies but no human remains, and false letters from "Jane" since 1968 that dashed hopes for decades. The main suspects - from documented pedophiles to serial killers - were never convicted, leaving the forensic investigation trapped between five impossible profiles. Victims: Jane Beaumont (9), Arnna Beaumont (7), Grant Beaumont (4) Date: January 26, 1966 Location: Glenelg, Adelaide, South Australia Status: Open case - one million dollar reward active - A one-pound note found in a bakery indicated that an adult gave money to the children that day, money that Nancy never gave them. - The postman retracted his sighting at 3:00 PM two days later, admitting it could have been the morning before - nullifying the only temporal point of separation. - Excavations from 2013-2018 on Harry Phipps' property detected a radar anomaly, but only animal bones and trash were extracted. - The diary of Alan Munro's son from 1966 recorded that his father arrived agitated that afternoon with blood in the car, but no subsequent physical evidence corroborated the three declared bodies.

The girlfriend from Brazil: crime, duct tape, and incomplete truth
The Bride of Brazil: Crime, Duct Tape, and Incomplete Truth: The Murder of Daniela Pérez On the night of December 28, 1992, the man who killed one of Brazil's most beloved actresses entered the police station, embraced her devastated family, and offered his condolences. No one suspected at that moment. A license plate altered with duct tape and eighteen stab wounds would reveal the truth, but only partially. In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding the crime: conflicting accounts about scissors versus a double-edged weapon, the hidden presence of Paula in the back seat, and how Guillherme de Pádua went from rejected obsession to free man in less than seven years. We unravel the case that changed Brazil's Penal Code but did not bring true justice. Victim: Daniela Pérez Date: December 28, 1992 Location: Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro Status: Convicted, released in 1999 - Eighteen stab wounds from an unidentified weapon, eight directly to the heart - Guillherme voluntarily presented himself at the police station while Paula traveled hidden under a sheet in the car - The license plate altered with duct tape from LM-1115 to OM-1115 was the evidence that linked the vehicle to the crime - Both convicted were released after less than seven years for "good behavior" and parenthood Daniela Pérez, Barra da Tijuca murder 1992, obsessed actor, forensic investigation, incomplete justice, criminal minds, Brazil, co-authorship in crime, popular law, Spanish true crimeTo listen ad-free and access premium episodes, start your 14-day free trial at obomedia.comOBOMEDIA presents true crime storiesa true crime podcast built on real cases.Every true crime story in our crime files follows the crime investigation from the missing person report to the trial: investigators and police building a murder case, a police investigation gone cold, justice for the victim and those who survived.We open the unsolved murder, the cold case reopened decades later, the mysterious death, the disappearance, the serial killer, the family murder, the murder mystery; the missing persons a missing woman, a missing girl, a missing man found dead and the missing and murdered.From the infamous case to the unsolved case, from classic true crime to dark true crime and disturbing true crime: true crime reports, real crime stories, real murder cases, true murder stories and unsolved mysteries one true crime case at a time, from the OBOMEDIA true crime vault.© 2026 Created with OBOMEDIA technology.

The footprint that doesn't close: the Heam-Söring case
The footprint that doesn't close: the Heam-Söring case: The double murder of Derek and Nancy Heam April 3, 1985, Virginia. A bloody sock footprint, an untouched dinner on the table, an unforced door. Two bodies with over 50 wounds. But 24 years later, the DNA at the scene does not belong to the man convicted of the crime. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that define this forensic mystery: a detailed confession that completely changes at trial, an odometer that implicates both suspects, and DNA evidence found decades later that dismantles the central theory of guilt. Who really entered that house, and why have nearly four decades of investigation never closed the case? Victims: Derek and Nancy Heam Date: March 30, 1985 Location: Lynchburg, Virginia, United States Status: Cold cases; both suspects deported; material authorship unresolved - Jens Söring confessed in 1986 with precise details of the interior of the house, but completely changed his story in 1990, accusing Elizabeth as the material author. - The odometer of the rented car recorded 695 kilometers unaccounted for, implicating both suspects simultaneously in Virginia. - Forty-two DNA samples found at the scene in 2009 did not match Jens; one belongs to an unidentified person, possibly James Farmer, who is now deceased. - Elizabeth bought double movie tickets for films she supposedly watched alone the night of the crime, and love letters reveal explicit plans to eliminate her parents since December 1984.

Recordings of his own murder: the Berfonder case: The homicide of Martín Berfonder in Santoalla do MonteA Dutch man who documents on video those who plan to kill him four years before he disappears. A burned car found in such a remote area that even hunters had no access, with skeletal remains 95 meters away. An unanswered question: how did no one prevent a crime that was announced?In this episode, we explore the clash between two worlds in the abandoned village of Orense, the escalation of violence following a ruling on communal lands, and the contradictions of a spontaneous confession that was retracted. A forensic investigation case where the State arrived too late and an economic motive generates premeditation that cannot be ignored.Victim: Martín Berfonder Date: January 19, 2010 Location: Santoalla do Monte, Orense, Spain Status: Convicted (Juan Carlos Rodríguez, 10 years and 6 months)- Martín recorded videos of Manuel Rodríguez explicitly threatening him with death before his disappearance - The Chevrolet Blazer was found burned without license plates 18 kilometers away in an almost inaccessible area - Juan Carlos spontaneously confessed to undercover agents but retracted his statement claiming a 65% intellectual disability - Zero bank movements since January 19, 2010, rule out voluntary flight Martín Berfonder, Santoalla do Monte Orense murder, 2010, premeditated homicide, forensic investigation, true crime, serial killer, mystery, justice, Spanish true crime If you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

35 stab wounds: the crime that the police already knew about
35 stabs: the crime that the police already knew about: The femicide of Dariela Valdés RochaA young law student was murdered with 35 stabs in the home of the same man against whom she had filed four formal complaints. The police were aware of every threat, every documented act of violence, and yet Dariela did not receive protection the night she died. A case that exposes how the system failed at every point where it could have saved a life.In this episode, we explore the complaints ignored by the authorities, the armed attack in June 2022 that should have raised all alarms, and the institutional collapse that left a victim unprotected. We analyze the suspect's bloodied clothing, the cameras that contradict his version, and the promise of legal protection that never arrived. How did an alleged killer with a documented history of domestic violence manage to erase his legal traces while justice delays?Victim: Dariela Valdés Rocha Date: January 15, 2023 Location: Mexicali, Baja California Status: Charged with femicide; oral trial pending resolution of legal protection- Dariela survived an attack by hired assassins in June 2022 and filed four formal complaints that same month. - The police removed home surveillance arguing that the victim "resumed the relationship," according to a contradictory version from the prosecution. - The suspect called 911 wearing bloodied clothing and claimed that a "gray ex-boyfriend" entered the home, but no camera or witness corroborates that version. - The CEDH issued formal recommendations in October 2024 confirming institutional negligence in a chain of omissions prior to the crime.

The leather suit: the crime that took 19 years to solve
The skin suit: the crime that took 19 years to solve: The murder of Katarina ZadaOn January 6, 1999, the propellers of a tugboat on the Vistula River caught a sack sewn with human skin, an ear, and an earring. Inside, the remains of Katarina Zada, 23 years old, a theology student. The pathologist confirmed the inconceivable: the skin was removed while she was still alive. For 19 years, the case remained unsolved until an anonymous letter and some diaries changed everything.In this episode, we explore the contradictions that paralyzed the investigation: why the police delayed the initial search, how foreign DNA found in 2000 was never identified, and why an obvious suspect in 1999 was not arrested until 2017. We follow the FBI profile that describes a sadistic killer of short stature, skilled with cutting tools, whose criminal minds reveal an obsession with specific victims. Who made a suit from the skin of a young woman, and why?Victim: Katarina Zada, 23 years old Date: November 12, 1998 (disappearance) / January 6, 1999 (discovery) Location: Krakow and Vistula River, Poland Status: Suspect detained (Robert Janewski, 2017); trial pending - The skin was removed while the victim was alive, according to the forensic report, establishing active torture and ruling out accident. - Fragments of terrestrial vegetation in the remains confirm that Katarina was murdered outside the river, not inside it. - The suit sewn with her skin did not fit the assailant according to the FBI profile, contradicting the theory of a planned sadistic motive. - Robert Janewski's diaries mention Katarina among women he stalked, linking the suspect to the victim years before the crime.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
What really happens when a case goes cold — and why does the official story rarely tell the full truth? True Crime Unmasked is the podcast that goes beyond the headlines. Every week, host Jhon dissects real criminal cases with the kind of forensic detail and narrative clarity that most shows skip. The angle here is different: instead of just recounting what happened, we question how the investigation unfolded, where the system failed, and what the evidence actually says. No sensationalism. Just sharp analysis of real crime stories that deserve a second look. Jhon spent years studying criminal behavior, court records, and investigative journalism before launching this show. He brings a researcher's discipline and a storyteller's instinct to every case — because understanding true crime means reading between the lines, not just reading the verdict. This podcast is built for listeners who are done with surface-level storytelling. If
