Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: On the morning of March thirty first, two thousand twenty two,
- 0:08Speaker 1: Yulando Martinez Cadina walked out of her grandmother's house in
- 0:13Speaker 1: San Nicholas de los Caza, carrying a freshly printed job application.
- 0:18Speaker 1: She said four words to the woman who raised her, jarigraso,
- 0:23Speaker 1: I'll be right back. She never was. At eleven twenty seven.
- 0:29Speaker 1: That same morning, a security camera on Callismile Pintado caught
- 0:34Speaker 1: her image. She was walking. She turned the corner toward
- 0:38Speaker 1: Anita Conductoris. She took a few steps forward, then she
- 0:42Speaker 1: passed alongside a parked truck, and the frame held nothing
- 0:46Speaker 1: but empty sidewalk. There is no version of this story
- 0:49Speaker 1: where everything makes sense. Yolando was twenty six years old
- 0:54Speaker 1: and doing what a lot of women her age do
- 0:57Speaker 1: when life doesn't go the way they planned. She was
- 1:01Speaker 1: starting over. She had studied megatronics before circumstances pulled her
- 1:06Speaker 1: away from school. She was a mother. Her daughter, Fernando,
- 1:11Speaker 1: was three years old and had her mother's eyes. Yolanda
- 1:15Speaker 1: didn't want to depend on any one, so that Thursday morning,
- 1:18Speaker 1: she sat in the cyber cafe, printed a job application
- 1:22Speaker 1: and walked back to her grandmother's house with a plan.
- 1:26Speaker 1: One hour later, she walked out with a reason. The
- 1:30Speaker 1: neighborhood where Orlanda was staying that week was the Colonia
- 1:34Speaker 1: Constituentis Decorta in San Nicholas de los Gaza, a working
- 1:40Speaker 1: class area in the Greater Monterey Metro. Her maternal grandmother
- 1:44Speaker 1: lived there. Yolanda had been moving between homes in the
- 1:48Speaker 1: days before she disappeared. The night of March twenty eighth,
- 1:52Speaker 1: she had visited Fernanda at Eduardo Ponce's house in colonia's
- 1:56Speaker 1: Ertucci Guadalupe. Guardo was the father of her daughter. They
- 2:03Speaker 1: shared custody of Fernanda. After that visit, Yolanda returned to
- 2:07Speaker 1: her grandmother's and called her father, Gerardo Martinez. She told
- 2:11Speaker 1: him she was staying put for the night. That was
- 2:14Speaker 1: the last normal conversation anyone in the family would have
- 2:19Speaker 1: with her. March twenty ninth, the phone calls stopped, her
- 2:23Speaker 1: cell went dark. The family tried to reach her through
- 2:27Speaker 1: the day and got nothing. Not a ring, not a voicemail,
- 2:31Speaker 1: not a text. When a twenty six year old woman's
- 2:34Speaker 1: phone goes completely silent without warning, the people who love
- 2:39Speaker 1: her start doing the math in their heads. They go
- 2:43Speaker 1: through the last conversation, they try to find the last
- 2:47Speaker 1: normal thing for Yolanda's family. The last normal thing was
- 2:53Speaker 1: that phone call on the twenty eighth, the one where
- 2:56Speaker 1: she said she was staying at her grandmother's and would
- 2:59Speaker 1: be fine. She was not five. Grado Martinez had spent
- 3:04Speaker 1: more than twenty years holding cargo at a market in
- 3:07Speaker 1: warez Neiwo, Leon. He was not a man who panicked easily.
- 3:12Speaker 1: But when the cause went unanswered and the days started
- 3:15Speaker 1: stacking up, he made a decision that tells you everything
- 3:19Speaker 1: about what kind of father he was. He walked away
- 3:23Speaker 1: from a job he had held for two decades and
- 3:26Speaker 1: started looking for his daughter on his own. No badge,
- 3:30Speaker 1: no resources, no official backing, just a father who couldn't
- 3:34Speaker 1: afford to wait. When I came across that detail, a
- 3:38Speaker 1: man with twenty years of early mornings and physical labor
- 3:42Speaker 1: just walking away from all of it, I had to
- 3:45Speaker 1: sit with it for a moment, as a particular kind
- 3:48Speaker 1: of desperation in that choice that no press release can capture.
- 3:53Speaker 1: The state took longer to notice. On March twenty ninth,
- 3:57Speaker 1: the family attempted to file a missing person's report on
- 3:59Speaker 1: line through the State Prosecutor's office. The system failed them.
- 4:04Speaker 1: The report didn't go through. Five days passed. On April fourth,
- 4:11Speaker 1: Gerardo went in person with one of his sons and
- 4:14Speaker 1: finally got the complaint accepted. The agents told him to
- 4:18Speaker 1: go home and wait. Someone would come to follow up.
- 4:24Speaker 1: He went home, He waited. The agents never came For
- 4:28Speaker 1: the next fifteen days. While Fernanda asked where her mother was,
- 4:33Speaker 1: the official search for Yorlando Martine's cadina consisted of nothing.
- 4:38Speaker 1: The morning of March thirty first began with something ordinary.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Yorlander walked to a cyber cafe near her grandmother's house
- 4:46Speaker 1: in Colonia Constitutes de Corriato, printed a job application and
- 4:52Speaker 1: came back. She stayed maybe an hour, then she picked
- 4:57Speaker 1: up her things, told her grandmother she was going out
- 5:00Speaker 1: to look for work, and said the words that would
- 5:03Speaker 1: become the axis of everything that followed. Yah regressor, I'll
- 5:07Speaker 1: be right back. She walked out the door at some
- 5:09Speaker 1: point before eight in the morning, and the street swallowed
- 5:12Speaker 1: her hall. The first camera caught her at eight seventeen
- 5:16Speaker 1: a m. The footage shows a woman matching Yulander's description straight,
- 5:21Speaker 1: light brown hair, dark complexion, black striped blouse, jeans, dark
- 5:27Speaker 1: sneakers walking along the street outside a residence in her
- 5:31Speaker 1: grandmother's neighborhood. Thirty seconds later, a second clip from the
- 5:36Speaker 1: same camera shows her walking back in the opposite direction,
- 5:40Speaker 1: as if she had forgotten something or changed her mind.
- 5:44Speaker 1: A fourth video from a nearby angle shows a woman
- 5:47Speaker 1: with the same characteristics continuing down the block. She looks unhurried.
- 5:53Speaker 1: She looks like someone running an errand before noon. Three
- 5:57Speaker 1: hours and ten minutes later, the cameras found her again.
- 6:01Speaker 1: At eleven twenty seven, a m Yolanda appeared on security
- 6:04Speaker 1: footage on Calis Smile Pintado in San Nicolas de los Gaza.
- 6:09Speaker 1: She turned the corner onto Avenida Conductors. She walked a
- 6:13Speaker 1: few steps. She passed alongside a truck parked at the curb.
- 6:17Speaker 1: The frame stayed open, the sidewalk was empty. Her phone
- 6:23Speaker 1: last registered a signal in that exact zone at that
- 6:26Speaker 1: exact time. After eleven twenty seven. There is nothing, no camera,
- 6:33Speaker 1: no signal, no contact. That was the last image anyone
- 6:38Speaker 1: has of Yolanda Martinez Cadenna. The family tried to file
- 6:43Speaker 1: a missing person's report on March twenty ninth, the day
- 6:47Speaker 1: her phone went dark. The online system at the state
- 6:51Speaker 1: Prosecutor's office failed to process it. Two days passed, then five.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Geradeo Martinez, who had spent more than twenty years hauling
- 7:03Speaker 1: goods at the wholesale market, waking before dawn carrying other
- 7:08Speaker 1: people's weight, walked into the prosecutor's office on April fourth
- 7:12Speaker 1: with one of his sons and filed the report in person.
- 7:16Speaker 1: The staff told him to go home. They said investigators
- 7:19Speaker 1: would come to the house. He went home and waited.
- 7:24Speaker 1: The investigators never came. For fifteen days, no official search
- 7:29Speaker 1: took place. The prosecutor's office fell back on a position
- 7:33Speaker 1: that has become familiar in cases like this across Nuevo Leon.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Yulanda had left voluntarily. She was an adult adults lee's.
- 7:44Speaker 1: This was their explanation for fifteen days of inaction, while
- 7:48Speaker 1: the most time sensitive evidence, phone records, camera footage, potential
- 7:54Speaker 1: witnesses who might still remember a face or a truck
- 7:58Speaker 1: aged and called the rational explanation stopped working. Here, an
- 8:04Speaker 1: adult woman who was last seen walking toward a job
- 8:07Speaker 1: interview does not turn off her phone and stop contacting
- 8:11Speaker 1: her three year old daughter. Yolanda called and texted Fernanda
- 8:15Speaker 1: constantly that rhythm had never broken before. And yet the state,
- 8:20Speaker 1: with its forms and its procedures and its thresholds for
- 8:25Speaker 1: what counts as a real emergency, looked at those fifteen
- 8:28Speaker 1: days and saw nothing worth moving for. Media pressure eventually
- 8:34Speaker 1: cracked the wall. Interviews with Gerado, images of Fernanda asking
- 8:38Speaker 1: where her mother was, Coverage that spread far enough that
- 8:42Speaker 1: the machinery had to respond. Trained search dogs were brought in.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Camera footage was reviewed. Eduardo Ponts, Fernander's father and Yolander's
- 8:53Speaker 1: ex partner, was brought in for questioning. He was interviewed twice.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Dogs searched his property in Colonia Zertucci. Investigators found in
- 9:03Speaker 1: nothing that connected him to the disappearance. Not a trace,
- 9:07Speaker 1: not a contradiction in his account, not a single piece
- 9:11Speaker 1: of physical evidence. The suspicion that had naturally gathered around him,
- 9:16Speaker 1: the proximity, the custody arrangement, the history between them, found
- 9:21Speaker 1: no ground to stand on. The search moved to an
- 9:23Speaker 1: arroyo in Guadeloupe. Nothing. Meanwhile, something else surfaced. Yulander's maternal
- 9:30Speaker 1: grandmother told investigators that two young people had approached her
- 9:35Speaker 1: with the detail they had witnessed on March thirty first,
- 9:39Speaker 1: in the afternoon hours of that day. They had seen
- 9:42Speaker 1: Yulandes speaking with a blond woman who had stepped out
- 9:45Speaker 1: of a car. After the conversation, Yulander had walked away
- 9:50Speaker 1: on her own. The two witnesses could not specify the
- 9:53Speaker 1: direction she had gone, the blond woman, the car, the direction,
- 9:58Speaker 1: All of it unverifiable, one of it officially corroborated. It
- 10:02Speaker 1: sits in the file as a fragment without a frame.
- 10:05Speaker 1: On May second, Prosecutor Griselda Nunia Zespinosa called the press
- 10:10Speaker 1: conference and released four new videos recorded on March thirty first.
- 10:15Speaker 1: She was careful, She stated explicitly that the footage was
- 10:19Speaker 1: being shared without official interpretation. The images existed, what they
- 10:24Speaker 1: meant was a question. She left open four videos and
- 10:29Speaker 1: no one from the state willing to say what they showed.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Three days later, on May fifth, the commission Local Dubusquider
- 10:38Speaker 1: of Nuevo Leon announced a reward of one hundred thousand
- 10:42Speaker 1: pesos roughly five thousand dollars for information leading to Yorlando's whereabouts.
- 10:49Speaker 1: The governor of the state, Samuel Garcia, met with Gerado
- 10:53Speaker 1: after sustained public pressure. By then, Gerado had already been hospitalized.
- 10:59Speaker 1: The search had taken his health along with his job.
- 11:02Speaker 1: There is one more detail from this period that does
- 11:05Speaker 1: not fit neatly into any time mine. Around the time
- 11:09Speaker 1: that the Eduardo Pons lead collapsed, documents from the investigation
- 11:14Speaker 1: file leaked to journalists mentioned another name, a maternal uncle
- 11:20Speaker 1: described as a figure who had made Ulanda uncomfortable. The
- 11:24Speaker 1: file existed, the name existed. What the file said precisely
- 11:30Speaker 1: about this person and what investigators did with it was
- 11:33Speaker 1: not made public. On May eighth, a Sunday, a woman
- 11:37Speaker 1: who lived near the Colonial Los Uertos neighborhood in Jarre's
- 11:41Speaker 1: stepped outside to gather firewood. It was mid afternoon, around
- 11:46Speaker 1: three thirty. She noticed a smell coming from a patch
- 11:50Speaker 1: of brush nearby and reported it. Police responded and found
- 11:55Speaker 1: a body in the vegetation. The body was female. Decomposition
- 12:00Speaker 1: was advanced. Forensic assessors estimated the remains had been there
- 12:04Speaker 1: for more than three weeks, which placed the time of
- 12:07Speaker 1: death in the window immediately following Iolander's disappearance. The location
- 12:13Speaker 1: was close to the home of Gerrado Martinez in Colonia Hessienda,
- 12:18Speaker 1: San Jose the father who had just been hospitalized, who
- 12:22Speaker 1: had spent five weeks carrying the weight of not knowing
- 12:26Speaker 1: while the state told him to wait. Beside the body,
- 12:29Speaker 1: investigators found a hand bag. Inside and around it were
- 12:33Speaker 1: Yolanda's personal belongings. They also found two containers sitting in
- 12:38Speaker 1: the dirt near the scene. One bore the word danger.
- 12:42Speaker 1: The other was labeled Control twenty four EYA, a product
- 12:46Speaker 1: consistent with pesticide compounds. Neither container had been officially connected
- 12:52Speaker 1: to Yolanda's death at the time of discovery. Neither had
- 12:55Speaker 1: been confirmed as consumed or handled by her. They were there,
- 13:00Speaker 1: that was the only confirmed fact. Forensic examiners found no
- 13:04Speaker 1: visible wounds, no external signs of physical violence. The body
- 13:09Speaker 1: showed nothing that told a clear story of how she
- 13:12Speaker 1: had died. DNA samples were taken and compared against a
- 13:16Speaker 1: reference sample from Girardo. The match was positive. The body
- 13:20Speaker 1: in the brush less than a kilometer from his front
- 13:23Speaker 1: door was his daughter. Gerardo was in a hospital bed
- 13:28Speaker 1: when the identification was confirmed. There is no version of
- 13:32Speaker 1: this story where everything makes sense. A woman who left
- 13:36Speaker 1: to look for work and was seen on camera at
- 13:38Speaker 1: eleven twenty seven a m is found five weeks later
- 13:42Speaker 1: in vegetation near her father's neighborhood, without wounds, without a
- 13:47Speaker 1: clear cause, with two unlabeled chemical containers at her side,
- 13:52Speaker 1: and locks of her own hair collected for toxicology labs
- 13:56Speaker 1: in another country. The prosecutor's office named poisoning as a
- 14:00Speaker 1: working hypothesis, they did not confirm it. The toxicology results
- 14:05Speaker 1: had not returned by the time this story was reported.
- 14:08Speaker 1: They were traveling samples from a young woman found in
- 14:12Speaker 1: the brush of Guariz moving through laboratories in the United States,
- 14:17Speaker 1: waiting for a science that might finally name what happened.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Fernanda had turned four years old while her mother was
- 14:26Speaker 1: still missing. She had spent those weeks asking for her
- 14:31Speaker 1: every day, the way children ask for things they believe
- 14:34Speaker 1: will simply come back if they ask long enough. The
- 14:38Speaker 1: family does not accept suicide. They say it plainly and
- 14:42Speaker 1: without hesitation. Yolanda would not have left Fernanda, not intentionally,
- 14:48Speaker 1: not permanently. A woman who called her daughter constantly, who
- 14:52Speaker 1: had just printed a job application that morning, who told
- 14:56Speaker 1: her grandmother she would be right back. That woman, the
- 15:00Speaker 1: family insists, did not choose to disappear from her daughter's life.
- 15:04Speaker 1: The force of that argument is not legal or forensic.
- 15:08Speaker 1: It is human, and it is the thing that makes
- 15:11Speaker 1: the two containers in the dirt so difficult to sit with,
- 15:15Speaker 1: because they point in a direction the family refuses to accept,
- 15:18Speaker 1: and that the state has not confirmed. The poisoning hypothesis,
- 15:23Speaker 1: if it holds, opens two very different doors. In one version,
- 15:28Speaker 1: some one brought Yolanda to that location and administered something
- 15:31Speaker 1: that killed her, then left the containers behind, either carelessly
- 15:36Speaker 1: or because it did not matter. In the other version,
- 15:39Speaker 1: she went there herself. Both versions require explanation. Both require
- 15:45Speaker 1: answers about what happened between eleven twenty seven a m
- 15:50Speaker 1: on March thirty first, and whatever moment she stopped breathing
- 15:55Speaker 1: in a field less than a kilometer from her father's house.
- 15:59Speaker 1: The witnesses who saw her speaking with a blond woman
- 16:04Speaker 1: remain unnamed. The car they described has no plates on record.
- 16:10Speaker 1: The maternal uncle referenced in leaked investigation documents has no
- 16:15Speaker 1: confirmed status in the file suspect witness, or simply a
- 16:20Speaker 1: name that appeared and was never publicly addressed. Eduardo Ponce,
- 16:24Speaker 1: the figure the public initially focused on, was cleared by
- 16:27Speaker 1: the evidence or rather cleared by the absence of evidence,
- 16:31Speaker 1: which is a different thing, and a distinction that cases
- 16:35Speaker 1: like this one leave hanging in the ear. What the
- 16:39Speaker 1: toxicology analysis in the United States will determine is not
- 16:43Speaker 1: yet known when it returns. If it returns with a
- 16:46Speaker 1: definitive answer, it will either confirm a method of death
- 16:50Speaker 1: or leave the cause still undetermined. It will not on
- 16:54Speaker 1: its own name a person because of death and criminal
- 16:58Speaker 1: responsibility are separate at questions, and in this case both
- 17:03Speaker 1: remain open. Gerardo Martinez identified his daughter through a DNA
- 17:08Speaker 1: test run against his own blood. He found out while
- 17:12Speaker 1: he was hospitalized, having spent five weeks abandoning everything he
- 17:16Speaker 1: had built, twenty years of labor, his health, his daily
- 17:21Speaker 1: life to search for a woman who has found less
- 17:24Speaker 1: than a kilometer from his front door. The locks of
- 17:28Speaker 1: her hair are now in a laboratory somewhere in the
- 17:31Speaker 1: United States. The two containers are part of an active file.
- 17:36Speaker 1: The blonde woman's name is not in any public record,
- 17:40Speaker 1: and Fernanda, who is four years old and asks for
- 17:44Speaker 1: her mother every day, is waiting for an answer that
- 17:47Speaker 1: no one has yet been able to give her. On Sunday,
- 17:51Speaker 1: May eighth, twenty twenty two, at around three thirty in
- 17:55Speaker 1: the afternoon, a neighbor stepped outside to get the firewood.
- 18:01Speaker 1: She noticed a smell coming from the brush near the
- 18:04Speaker 1: edge of Colonia Los Houertos in Guarez Na ve Nuevas.
- 18:10Speaker 1: She followed it. What she found in those maturas ended
- 18:14Speaker 1: thirty eight days of searching in the worst possible way.
- 18:18Speaker 1: The body had been there for more than three weeks.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Forensic teams identified the remains of Yolanda Martinez Cadenna through
- 18:27Speaker 1: DNA comparison with a sample from her father, Girardo. The
- 18:31Speaker 1: result was positive. Yolander's handbag and her belongings were recovered
- 18:37Speaker 1: at the scene, just a short distance from the home
- 18:41Speaker 1: where Girardo had been waiting, the same home in Colonia
- 18:45Speaker 1: Hacienda San Jose where he had lived for years working
- 18:49Speaker 1: the market before he gave all of that up to
- 18:53Speaker 1: look for his daughter. He was in the hospital when
- 18:56Speaker 1: they told him. Girardo had collapsed from exhaustion and dress
- 19:00Speaker 1: in the days before the discovery. He confirmed the identification
- 19:04Speaker 1: from a hospital bed. The man who had abandoned twenty
- 19:08Speaker 1: years of carrying cargo at the market, who had stood
- 19:11Speaker 1: before the governor and documented fifteen days of institutional silence,
- 19:16Speaker 1: received the answer to his search while hooked to a
- 19:19Speaker 1: monitor in a room he hadn't chosen to be in.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Forensic examiners found no visible external wounds, no marks, no
- 19:29Speaker 1: signs of physical struggle on the surface of the body.
- 19:33Speaker 1: What they did find set in the ground near way
- 19:37Speaker 1: landa lay where two small containers. One was labeled with
- 19:42Speaker 1: a single word danger, the other read controlled twenty four
- 19:46Speaker 1: E as substance used as an insecticide. Neither container has
- 19:51Speaker 1: been officially linked to her death. The prosecutor's office in
- 19:54Speaker 1: Neuvolon is working with a hypothesis of poisoning, but that
- 19:58Speaker 1: hypothesis remained I'M confirmed. Strands of hair recovered at the
- 20:03Speaker 1: scene were sent for toxicological analysis to laboratories in the
- 20:07Speaker 1: United States. As of the close of this investigation, those
- 20:11Speaker 1: results had not returned. The cause of death is officially
- 20:14Speaker 1: listed as indeterminate, possible homicide, possible suicide. Yulander's family rejects
- 20:21Speaker 1: the second possibility entirely. Their argument is not abstract. Yorlando
- 20:26Speaker 1: would not have left Fernanda. That is what they say,
- 20:29Speaker 1: and what they have said consistently since the first day
- 20:32Speaker 1: she did not come home. A mother who visits her
- 20:35Speaker 1: three year old daughter two days before vanishing, who goes
- 20:39Speaker 1: to a cyber cafe to print at job application. Who
- 20:43Speaker 1: goes to a cybercarfe to print a job application, who
- 20:49Speaker 1: says I'll be right back before walking out the door.
- 20:52Speaker 1: That is not the profile the family recognizes as someone
- 20:56Speaker 1: preparing to die, But the two containers are in the
- 20:59Speaker 1: evidence file, and the body was found close to the
- 21:03Speaker 1: father's home, not far from the last recorded zone where
- 21:07Speaker 1: Orlander's phone signal disappeared. The geography raises questions that no
- 21:12Speaker 1: official has answered publicly. No arrests have been made, no
- 21:17Speaker 1: formal charges have been filed against anyone. Fernanda turned four
- 21:21Speaker 1: years old while her mother was missing. She asked for
- 21:24Speaker 1: her every day. That detail does not resolve. It simply
- 21:29Speaker 1: stands there the way certain facts do. Too specific to
- 21:33Speaker 1: process quickly, too heavy to set down. Yolanda Martinez Cadenna
- 21:39Speaker 1: left her grandmother's house in Colonia Constitugentis to Queritaro on
- 21:45Speaker 1: the morning of March thirty first, twenty twenty two, carrying
- 21:49Speaker 1: a freshly printed job application. She said she would be
- 21:52Speaker 1: right back. Cameras recorded her at eight seventeen in the morning,
- 21:57Speaker 1: then again at eleven twenty seven on calais Meo Pintado
- 22:03Speaker 1: walking toward Avenida conductoris she passed alongside a truck after that,
- 22:09Speaker 1: No image, no signal, no contact. The question planted at
- 22:14Speaker 1: the beginning of this story, what happened on the other
- 22:16Speaker 1: side of that truck has no official answer. Investigators reviewed footage,
- 22:23Speaker 1: They interviewed Eduardo Ponse twice and searched his property with
- 22:28Speaker 1: trained dogs. They chased a lead about a blond woman
- 22:33Speaker 1: seen speaking with Yolander that same afternoon, a woman who
- 22:37Speaker 1: stepped out of a car and then drove away in
- 22:41Speaker 1: an unknown direction. None of it produced a name, a vehicle,
- 22:45Speaker 1: a charge. Two unnamed witnesses gave that account to Yolanda's
- 22:49Speaker 1: maternal grandmother. No corroboration exists in the public record. The
- 22:55Speaker 1: maternal uncle, referenced in documents leaked from the investigation file
- 23:00Speaker 1: remains an unresolved thread. His name appears in the file,
- 23:04Speaker 1: his status is not confirmed publicly. What the toxicology results
- 23:09Speaker 1: from the United States will show, if they show anything,
- 23:12Speaker 1: is still unknown. Even if those results confirm poisoning, they
- 23:17Speaker 1: will establish method, They will not establish who placed those
- 23:20Speaker 1: two containers in the brush of Colonia Losuertos. They will
- 23:25Speaker 1: not explain why Yolander's handbag was there. They will not
- 23:29Speaker 1: close the gap between eleven twenty seven, a m on
- 23:32Speaker 1: Carlai Ismail Pintado and the moment a neighbor followed a
- 23:36Speaker 1: smell through the metorals six weeks later. There is no
- 23:42Speaker 1: version of this story where everything makes sense. Yet. Dorado
