In April 1960, Irene Garza left her home in McAllen, Texas to attend confession.

She never came back.

For decades, the truth was buried behind closed church doors.

In this episode of Triggered, we uncover the life of Irene Garza, a devoted daughter, a young woman trying to find her way, and the powerful institution that protected her killer. We walk through the secret reports, the whispered warnings, and the internal church knowledge that never reached police… until it was too late.

This is not just a murder story. It’s a story about silence. About faith being weaponized. And about a woman who deserved so much better.
