On today’s episode, Katarina travels to Ciudad Juárez to investigate the case of Leslie Godínez, a young mother who disappeared while seven months pregnant and was later found dead. Reports have linked her death to a clandestine cesarean and a baby-trafficking scheme allegedly run by Martha Alicia “La Diabla” and connected to the CJNG. 

On the ground in Juárez, Katarina meets with a member of Leslie’s family, who shares their story of her disappearance, the search to find her, and the devastating discovery that followed. The episode explores how the case connects to broader issues of violence against women and cartel exploitation along the border.
