The Pastor, The Missing Girl, No Body.
On July 7, 2012, a 19-year-old woman vanished from Quito, Ecuador, leaving behind a trail of suspicious messages and a pastor who claimed to have seen her last. Eight years later, a murder conviction was secured without a body or direct witness. What really happened to Juliana Campoverde?
In this episode, we delve into the disappearance of Juliana Lisbet Campoverde Rodríguez, exploring the chilling details of a case where a man of faith used his authority to erase a young woman. We examine how a single IP address and phone records ultimately led to Ecuador's first murder conviction without a body, and why Juliana's mother always knew the truth.
