18-year-old Savanah Soto was nine months pregnant with her first baby, Fabian, when she and boyfriend Matthew Guerra vanished the night before her scheduled induction. Three days later their bodies were found inside a gray Kia Optima in a San Antonio apartment parking lot — both executed at close range. Their unborn son died with them.

In this episode, Dana and Chloe unpack the heartbreaking true crime case of Savanah Soto, Matthew Guerra, and baby Fabian. From the couple’s turbulent three-year relationship — including a documented brutal Christmas Day 2022 assault caught on Ring camera, a restraining order Matthew violated, and Savanah’s own petition to have it removed while pregnant — to the red flags everyone around them saw but couldn’t stop.

We break down the minute-by-minute timeline backed by surveillance footage, GPS data, and cell-phone evidence that led straight to 19-year-old Christopher Preciado. You’ll hear the latest from his ongoing capital murder trial in Bexar County (as of March 2026), the defense’s self-defense claim, and the devastating family impact after Savanah had already lost her younger brother Ethan to gun violence just 19 months earlier.

This isn’t just another recap. We go deep into the psychology of trauma bonding, why so many women return to their abusers, the power imbalance of the four-year age gap, and how grief and pregnancy can trap survivors in dangerous cycles. Plus real prevention insights every listener needs to hear.
