Lit fireplace on a night of 24 degrees. Wedding dress folded in a drawer. Missing body. A man convicted without physical evidence of the crime, but with traces that obsession could not erase. How do you convict a homicide when the main witness is silence?

In this episode, we reconstruct the case of Erika Soriano: pregnant, controlled, progressively isolated by a man with a history of violence. You will discover how a pattern of escalating abuse led to her disappearance, and how justice convicted without a body, but with forensic truth and contradictions that accused more than any confession.

Case Details
Victim: Erika Soriano, 30 years old, mother, administrative employee
Date: August 20, 2010
Location: La Nuss, Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina
Status: Convicted homicide; accused serving a 22-year sentence; sentence upheld by the Supreme Court in December 2022

- Fireplace used for cooking on a night of 24 degrees: physically impossible, the only functional explanation is concealment of evidence
- Exact clothing described by the accused to the police appears folded in the house the next day, destroying the alibi of voluntary departure
- Four hidden phones found in the second search, covert communication with proven connection to the crematory
- Stain treated with luminol, cellphone handed to unidentified accomplice, abandoned prenatal medications: patterns of forced disappearance

Who was the accomplice with access to the crematory, and why was the investigation never publicly identified?

Four teenagers, six corpses in forty-eight hours, Christmas 1992 in Dayton, Ohio. What turns law-abiding youths into serial killers during the holidays? An improvised gang, randomly chosen victims, and an anonymous confession from within the group that changed everything.

In this episode, you will discover how four individuals committed six murders with no apparent motive, the forensic contradictions that left responsibilities unclear, and why a phone call was the only thing that stopped the killing spree. You will hear testimonies from survivors, details of crimes that occurred in less than two days, and the investigation that connected seemingly unrelated cases.

Case Details
Victims: Joseph Wilkerson, Danita Gullet, Sara Abraham, Wendy Cottrell, Marvin Washington, Richmond Maddox
Date: December 24-26, 1992
Location: Dayton, Ohio, United States
Status: Marvelous Kin executed 2009. Laura Taylor and DeMarco Smith: life imprisonment. Heeder Matthew: life imprisonment.

- Two bullets from different guns in a single victim reveal collective involvement but individual responsibility never clarified
- Electric wires deliberately brought to the first victim's house prove total premeditation
- Heeder Matthew participated in all the crimes but a plea deal saved him from the death penalty without evidence of a fatal shot
- An anonymous call from Nicolás Woodson, summoned but refusing to participate, was the only thing that stopped the escalation of murders

What was the real reason these four decided to start killing without an apparent motive during Christmas?

A fifteen-year-old boy cut his best friend's throat while they were playing Scrabble on Christmas Eve. The terrifying part: he received orders from a leader who never got his hands dirty, operating from Canada. How did a circle of students from Colorado Springs become a paramilitary cell capable of executing a triple murder?

In this episode, you will discover how a leather watch with flames - a Christmas gift - brought down the perfect alibi. You will learn about the OARA network, training with snuff films, the arsenal of thirty-six weapons, and the chain of command that turned friends into killers. This was the first case in the United States where minors were tried as adults for premeditated crime of this magnitude. The confessions contradict the facts. The forensic evidence points to guilty parties who deny it. And the victim's mother will end up in prison for crimes committed afterward, publicly forgiving her son's killer.

Case Details
Victim: Tony Dutcher, 15 years old, musician and aspiring military / Carl Dutcher, 58 years old, father and arms dealer / Joanna Dutcher, 58 years old, mother
Date: December 31, 2000 / January 1, 2001
Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado / Planning from Canada
Status: Isaac Grimes sentenced to 50 years. Jonathan Matheny to 66 years. Simon Su to 53 years. Glenn Urban served 2 years for evidence destruction.

- The half-played Scrabble board in the shed confirms the presence of Tony and Isaac that night, contradicting Isaac's initial alibi.
- The leather watch with flames given on December 25 destroyed Isaac's alibi when he claimed Tony was wearing it a week before Christmas.
- Simon Su strategically traveled to Canada days before the crime, leaving a documented operational plan to teenagers; Jonathan supposedly called him that night to report the mission accomplished.
- Thirty-six weapons seized at Simon's home, stolen family photographs used as a method of coercion, and copies of keys handed over under threat reveal mechanisms of paramilitary control over minors.

Can a watch reveal the mastermind behind a triple murder when everyone lies except the evidence?

Tatiane jumped from the fourth floor at 2 AM. The cameras recorded every punch beforehand. What Luis did afterward revealed everything.

In this episode, you will discover why the security recordings, the autopsy, and the mannequin drop test completely dismantle the defendant's version. You will know what happened in the minutes that Luis concealed himself inside the apartment, and why he changed clothes before fleeing 300 kilometers.

Case Details
Victim: Tatiane Spitzner, 29 years old, lawyer
Date: July 22, 2018
Location: Guarapuavá, Paraná, Brazil
Status: Luis Felipe Manvailer sentenced to 31 years, 9 months, 18 days; currently incarcerated

- The security cameras captured assaults in the parking lot, car, elevator, and hallway before the fall, but Luis provided two different accounts of what happened inside.

- The autopsy revealed signs of strangulation and a fractured hyoid bone, indicating asphyxiation prior to the fall, which contradicts both of Luis's versions.

- Total absence of adrenaline and cortisol in Tatiane's blood proves she was already dead when she hit the ground, ruling out a jump or accidental fall.

- Luis changed out of his blood-stained clothes, cleaned the elevator, and fled to Paraguay in Tatiane's car without calling emergency services, behavior that demonstrates consciousness of guilt.

What evidence was so overwhelming that three jurors requested to be replaced during the trial?

In the early hours of New Year's Day 1994, an 18-year-old young woman arrives at the emergency room naked, with a gunshot wound to the head and signs of multiple violence. Her boyfriend disappears. Thirty years later, a father turned detective discovers the fugitive in Brazil thanks to fingerprints on a coffee cup. But justice still has unanswered questions.

In this episode, we unravel how Nancy Mestre was murdered, who fired the shot, and why the family of the main suspect helped him hide for 26 years in another country. You will discover how a father obsessed with the truth did what the police could not: track down a convicted killer who believed he had escaped unpunished. But you will also learn about the contradictions that persist: the autopsy confirms at least two attackers, and only one was convicted.

Case Details
Victim: Nancy Mariana Mestre, 18 years old, high school student
Date: January 1, 1994
Location: Barranquilla, Colombia
Status: Jaime Sade convicted and extradited from Brazil in 2024; serving time in El Bosque penitentiary

- The gunpowder on Nancy's left hand (she was right-handed) and the trajectory of the bullet completely invalidate the suicide version presented by the suspect's family.
- Multiple blood and DNA profiles in the autopsy confirm additional attackers who were never identified or prosecuted.
- The driver of the truck that night, Víctor Tuirán Quintero, disappears from judicial records after giving initial testimony.
- The student who heard screams and a gunshot retracted her statement without public explanation, suggesting external pressure that was never investigated.

How did a father manage to capture a fugitive that justice lost, and why does the complete truth about who else was in that room remain an unresolved mystery?

A video recorded a year earlier. A testament warning of her own death. A woman who left all the documented evidence of her danger, and yet disappeared without anyone hearing her in time. Susan Powell left on the night of December 6, 2009, and never returned. What came next was worse.

In this episode, you will discover how a woman preparing for divorce left a trail of warnings that the system could not or would not see, and how her disappearance triggered a chain of tragedies that ended with two dead children, two suicides, and a body that was never found. We will explore every contradiction in the official version, every verifiable lie, and the pattern of violence that no one stopped in time.

Case Details
Victim: Susan Powell, 28 years old, housewife and mother of two
Date: December 6, 2009
Location: West Valley City, Utah, United States
Status: Case closed in 2013 without body recovered; husband Joshua Powell deceased in 2012; official investigation without formal conviction

- Susan's son stated that his mother went out with them that night, directly contradicting Joshua's version that she stayed home
- Joshua claimed to have no phone charger, but the police found one in the glove compartment of his car: a verifiable lie in the first interrogation
- A carpet in the living room was partially cleaned with fans speeding up the drying, suggestive of an attempt to erase physical evidence hours after the disappearance
- Susan's handwritten will in a bank safety deposit box contained the words If I die, it may not be an accident, although it seems so, with explicit instruction to deny access to Joshua
- Joshua asked a coworker weeks before where to hide a body in Utah; the coworker never reported it until after the disappearance

How did the system allow a woman who documented her own danger to disappear, and how did two children pay the final price of a failure that began long before?
