The Pregnant Lover Who Vanished: No Body, No Confession · Scary Paranormal Stories

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: She walked out of her house on a Sunday night
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in September of 2011, telling her husband she was going
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to pick up one of the kids' homework. Her children
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: were three and six years old. Her name was Paula Perez,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and she was 34, and she was pregnant, and she
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: never came back. No body was ever found. No body
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: was ever found. No one ever confessed. And the man
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: convicted of making her disappear has spent years in prison.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: without once revealing where she is. There is something about
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this case that I could not stop turning over. The
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: last thing Pala said, in writing to anyone who cared
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: about her, was that she was not going to put
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: her life at risk to make other people happy. She
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: said that hours before she vanished. She meant it. And
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: then something happened that she did not choose. Four days
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: before she disappeared, a doctor at a clinic in Rosario
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: confirmed what Paula already suspected. She was pregnant. The father
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: was not her husband. His name was Gabriel Hector Stromia.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: 48 years old. Freight transport entrepreneur based in Porto General
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: San Martin in the province of Santa Fe. Married for
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: more than 30 years to a woman named Roxana Mish.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And here is the detail that makes this case. almost
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: impossible to process. Gabriel Stromio was not a stranger to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Paula's family. He was the intimate friend of her father,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Alberto Parasi, a mechanic who considered Gabriel like a son.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: That is how Gabriel knew Paula. Through her own father's trust,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Paula Perez was born on the 1st of February, 1978,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in Santa Fe, Argentina. She had nearly white hair and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: green eyes. Her family called her La Polaka, the Polish one,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a childhood nickname that followed her into a dadoldhood, with
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the kind of warmth that only old nicknames carry. She
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was a homemaker. She had two boys, Agustin, who was six,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and Lucas, who was three. Her husband, Rodolfo Ortiz de Algea,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: was 44. Her parents, Alberto and Alicia, lived close. Her sisters,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Maria Fernanda the oldest, and Marianella, the youngest, were part
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of her daily life. From the outside, the picture was ordinary.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But for at least some period of time before September
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of 2011, Paula had been involved with Gabriel Stremier. Text messages,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: phone calls, and emails between them would later become evidence
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: at trial. Through that evidence, prosecutors built the case that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Paula believed Gabriel to be the father of the child
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: she was carrying. What that situation looked like from inside
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: her life is harder to know. What the record does
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: show is that Paula was navigating something without a clear exit.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: A relationship with a married man who was also woven
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: into the fabric of her family's history. A pregnancy that
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: carried enormous consequences for everyone involved, and a medical reality
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that made the situation more dangerous than it already appeared.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Two days before she disappeared, Paula visited a doctor seeking
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to end the pregnancy. The physician advised against it. There
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was a medical condition, the specific nature of which was
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: never publicly named, that made the procedure carry a risk
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of severe hemorrhage. The doctor told her no. Paula left
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: without a solution. The morning of Sunday, the 18th of September, 2011,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Paula and Gabriel met. According to what would later emerge
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in Testimony, Gabriel spent that meeting pressuring her to go
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: through with an abortion, regardless of the medical risk. That afternoon,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Paula sat down at a computer and opened Facebook. She
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: found José Luis Freixamil, a mutual friend, 56 years old.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The man who had originally connected her, and Gabriel and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: who had become, quietly, her confidant through all of it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: What she wrote to him that afternoon... is the last
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: documented voice she left behind. She told Free Jarmil she
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was going to seek a second opinion from her own gynecologist.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: She said she suspected that Roxana, Gabriel's wife, already knew
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about the relationship. And she said something else. She said
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: she was not going to put her life in danger
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to make other people happy. That conversation ended. Paula closed
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the computer hours later. Sometime around 9.30 in the evening,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: she told her husband, Rodolfo, she was stepping out to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: pick up homework belonging to one of the boys. She
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: walked out the front door. By 10 minutes past 10
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that night, her mother was already trying to reach her
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: by phone. The line was dead. Paula's phone was off,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and it would stay off. What the cell tower records,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: captured in the gap between those two moments, is the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: detail that investigators would return to again and again, At 8.48
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that evening, the antenna covering Paula's home registered an active
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: call from Gabriel Strumier's phone, placed to his own house,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: from a location in the immediate vicinity of where Paula lived.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: His phone then went dark. At 9.54, it reactivated and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: placed another call to his home from the same general area,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the window in between, just over an hour is the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: window in which Paula walked out of her house and disappeared.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Gabriel Strumia would later claim, in court, that he knew
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: nothing about the pregnancy. A psychological evaluation conducted during the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: trial determined he was lying. The last confirmed message Paula
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Perez sent to anyone was on the afternoon of September 18th, 2011.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: She was writing to José Luis Frigimil, The mutual friend
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: who had introduced her to Gabriel Strumia, and who had,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: over the months that followed, become the only person she
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: trusted with the full weight of what was happening to her.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: In that conversation, Paula told Frasier Mill that she would
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: not risk her life to make other people happy. She
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: said she planned to seek a second opinion from her
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: own gynecologist before making any decision about the pregnancy. She
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: mentioned almost in passing that she suspected Gabriel's wife, Roxana,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: already knew about the affair. Then the conversation ended. Paula
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: closed the application, and whatever happened next, she did not
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: see coming. Her husband, Rodolfo, was home with their sons, Agustin,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and Lucas, when Paula told him she was going out
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to pick up one of the boys' school assignments. It
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: was around 9.30 in the evening. The errand made sense.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: She had no coat. She did not say goodbye the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: way people do when they know they will not return.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: She walked out and left the door slightly ajar, the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: way anyone does when they expect to be back in minutes.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: By 10.10 that night, Alicia Ortiz, Paula's mother, was already
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: calling her daughter's phone. It rang once, perhaps twice, then
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: went to silence. Not voicemail. Silence. Paula's phone was off.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It had never been off before at that hour. Alicia
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: tried again, and again after that. The silence on the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: other end of the line was not the silence of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a missed call. It was something else. The following morning,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Rodolfo filed a missing person report. What investigators found when
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they examined the cell tower data changed the entire shape
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of the evening. Gabriel Stromia's phone had registered on an
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: antenna corresponding to Paula's neighborhood at 8.48 that night. That
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: detail alone would have been explainable, even unremarkable, given that
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Gabriel lived and worked in the same general region of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Santa Fe province. But then the data showed something harder
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to dismiss. At some point between 8.48 and 9.54, Gabriel's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: phone went completely dark It was not an accidental signal drop.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: The phone was turned off, deliberately. Then, at 9.54, it
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: reactivated and made a call to his home. The gap,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: 66 minutes, covered precisely the window in which Paula had
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: left her house and never returned. Gabriel initially told investigators
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he had no idea Paula was pregnant. He maintained that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: position through questioning. and into the early stages of the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: judicial process. A psychological evaluation commissioned during the trial would
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: later determine that he was lying, but that finding came
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: years later. In the immediate aftermath of Paula's disappearance, investigators
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: were looking at a man with deep community roots, a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: legitimate freight business, and 30 years of marriage behind him.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: He was also the man that Paula's own father had
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: trusted like a son. Alberto Parasi, a mechanic who had
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: known Gabriel for decades, had been the one to introduce them.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: That history created them. a kind of protective shadow around
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Gabriel that proved difficult to move past. Early in the investigation,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the theory that required the least explanation was the one
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that required the least scrutiny of Gabriel. Paula had been
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: dealing with a serious, unnamed medical condition, that her doctor
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: had warned made an abortion extremely dangerous. A hemorrhage risk
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: significant enough that two days before her disappearance, a physician
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: refused to perform the procedure. The early working assumption floated informally.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Never confirmed was that Paula had perhaps sought an illegal
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: abortion somewhere and that something had gone wrong. It was
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the kind of explanation It closed a case without opening one.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And for a time, it absorbed the available attention. That
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: theory collapsed when the timeline refused to hold it up.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Paula had been explicit with Frigimil just hours before she
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: left her home. She had said clearly that she would
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: not put her life at risk. She was planning to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: consult her gynecologist the following day. She was not in crisis.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: She was making plans. The woman who walked out of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: her house that Sunday evening was not someone who had
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: reached the end of her options. She was someone who
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: believed she still had choices ahead of her. The second
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: explanation that circulated, again, never confirmed, presented to the family
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: as hypothesis rather than fact, was that Paula might have
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: left voluntarily. That she had constructed the pregnancy story, invented
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the pressures, and chosen to disappear. Invented Sue suggested this
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: ignored several things. Simultaneously, they ignored that her phone was
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: off before her mother even knew she was gone. They
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: ignored that she left without money, without luggage, without any
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: of the small objects a person assembles when they are
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: planning to vanish. They ignored that Augustine was six years
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: old and Lucas was three, and that nothing in Paula's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: behavior in the days prior had suggested she was preparing
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to leave them. and they ignored the cell tower record
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that placed Gabriel's phone in her neighborhood. During the exact window,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: she disappeared, with a 66-minute blackout in the middle. Neither
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: explanation survived contact with the evidence, and the investigation, which
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: should have narrowed, instead widened in something far more complicated
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and far more damaging to the people at its center.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: In April of 2015, nearly four years after Paula walked
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: out of her house... and did not return. Law enforcement
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: detained nine people in connection with her disappearance. The arrests
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: came after years of expanding investigation, shifting prosecutors, and at
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: least one judge removed from the case amid allegations of irregularities.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Judge Eduardo Filoco had been assigned to the case out
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: of San Lorenzo and was eventually separated from it. His replacement,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Juan Carlos Totara, and a new prosecutor Donato Trota, inherited
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a case that had already been contaminated by delay. Alberto Perassi,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Paula's father, had not waited quietly. The 70-year-old mechanic had
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: chained himself to the courthouse more than once. He wore
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a bulletproof vest. He had received threats serious enough that
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: authorities assigned him permanent protection detail. The man who had
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: trusted Gabriel Stromier like a son was now the most
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: visible public face of the demand for answers, and the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: target of what appeared to be organized pressure to stop
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: asking them. Among the nine detained was Gabriel, his wife Roxana,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: his driver Antonio Dario Diaz, a woman named Mirtha Dominga Rogwinski,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: accused of performing an illegal abortion, and several former members
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of the UNIDAD regional DOS police unit, including a former chief.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: special units. The accusation against the former officers was not
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that they had committed the act, but that they had
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: worked to bury it. Destroyed evidence. Destroyed evidence, delayed responses.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Failed their duties in ways that served the people at
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the center of the disappearance, rather than the investigation. In
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: May of 2019, a first instance court acquitted all nine.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: The reason given was the absence of a body. That
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: was the ruling. Without a body, without physical remains, the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: court determined there was insufficient evidence to convict anyone of anything.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Paula Perez had been gone for nearly eight years. Her
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: father had worn a bulletproof vest for years. The phone
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: records existed. The timeline existed. The psychological evaluation that confirmed
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Gabriel lied about the pregnancy existed. And still the court
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: looked at all of it and said, not enough. The
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: rational framework of the legal system, the same one designed
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to protect the innocent, had just protected the people most
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: implicated in her disappearance. And it had done so by
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: using Paula's absence against her. What followed was six months
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of silence that must have felt to Alberto and Alicia
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and the two boys who had grown up without their
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: mother like the final closing of a door. It was not.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: On November 28th, 2019, the Court of Appeals of Rosario
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: issued a ruling that overturned the acquittals, at least in part.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Judges Gustavo Salvador, Javier Beltramón, and Carolina Hernandez examined the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: same evidence the lower court had reviewed and reached a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: different conclusion. Gabriel Hector Strumia, was convicted of unlawful deprivation
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of liberty in aggravated form, the aggravating factor being that
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the victim was pregnant. His sentence was 17 years. Roxana
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Mech was convicted of unlawful deprivation of liberty and secondary
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: participation in the disappearance. Her sentence was seven years. The
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: remaining accused, the driver, the woman accused of performing the abortion,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the former police officer's were acquitted in the appeals ruling
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: as well. Two convictions, one woman still missing, no body.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: The charges that produced Gabriel's 17-year sentence did not require
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: proving that he killed Paula. They required proving that he
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: deprived her of her liberty, that he was responsible for
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: whatever happened to her in that 66-minute gap between the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: two cell tower pings, and that his victim was pregnant
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: when it occurred. The court determined that the evidence was
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: sufficient to establish all three. The psychological evaluation that found
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: he lied about knowing about the pregnancy was central to
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: that determination. There is a specific quality to a conviction
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: built on the absence of a body. It is not
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the same as proof of death. It is not the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: same as knowing what happened. Gabriel Stromia was sentenced to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: 17 years and did not say at sentencing or at
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: any point after where Paula was. Roxana Mitch received her
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: seven years, and similarly said nothing. Whatever they know about
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the night of September 18th, 2011, whatever filled that 66-minute silence,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: they have chosen to keep it. The last thing Paula said,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in writing to another person, was that she would not
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: put her life at risk to make others happy. She
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: wrote that hours before she stepped outside, the court in
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Rosario found that someone else made that decision for her.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Her body has never been found. The verdict landed on
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: November 28th, 2019-8, years, two months, and ten days after
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Paula Perez walked out of her house to pick up
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: her son's homework and never came back. The appeals chamber
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: in Rosario, Judges Gustavo Salvador, Javier Beltramón, and Carolina Hernandez,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: overturned the acquittals. Gabriel Hector Strumia received 17 years for
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: unlawful deprivation of liberty. Aggravated because the victim was pregnant,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Roxana Miksh received seven years for secondary participation in that
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: same disappearance. The remaining seven defendants, the driver, the accused midwife,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the former officers, walked free again. 17 years, not for murder,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: not for homicide, For taking her. Because the law can
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: only punish what it can prove, and what it cannot prove,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is where Paula is. The Gerardo units that swept Gabriel
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Stramia's properties found nothing. No soil disturbance. No cavity. Nothing
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that answered the question. Every search had been asking since
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: September of 2011. The police had told Alberto Parasi, Paula's father,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: three different versions across those years, that she was buried
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: in a pit. that she had been burned, that she
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: had been moved to another province. Each version arrived as
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a hypothesis. None arrived as a location. Alberto wore a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: bulletproof vest to court. He chained himself to the courthouse
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: gates when he believed the system was letting go. He
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: had permanent police custody because someone had already tried to
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: silence him once. He kept showing up anyway. There is
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: a particular cruelty in a conviction without a body. The
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: law has determined that something irreversible happened to Paula. Two
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: people are serving sentences because of it. And yet the
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: one answer that would allow her family to bury her,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to mark a place, to stand somewhere, and say she
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: was here, that answer belongs only to Gabrielle Strumia and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Roxana Misch. They have not given it. As of the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: date of this recording, they have not given it. Paula's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: last recorded words were a refusal. She told José Luis
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Frayjamil on the evening of September 18th that she would
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: not put her life at risk to make others happy.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: A court later determined that someone else made that decision anyway.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: What the court could not determine, what no legal process
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: has yet forced into the open, is what happened in
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the 66 minutes, when Gabriel's phone went dark. And where
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Paula went after that silence ended. Lucas was three years
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: old when his mother left to get his homework. Agustin
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: was six. They are not children anymore. Alberto Parasi turned
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: 70 while chaining himself to courthouse gates and fielding contradictory
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: versions of where his daughter might be. He has spent
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: more than a decade asking a question that two convicted
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: people refuse to answer. The bulletproof vest, the police escort,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the threats, none of that stopped him from asking. That
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: persistence is the only reason the case reached a second
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: hearing at all. What remains unresolved is not a legal technicality.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Paula Perez was a woman with nearly white hair and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: green eyes. A mother of two boys, a daughter who
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: used to wait on a street corner for a life
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: she believed was hers to choose. The last thing she
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: said in writing was that she would not risk herself
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: for someone else's comfort. She meant it. She just didn't
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: know she wouldn't be the one making that call. Gabriel
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Strumia knows where she is. So, very likely, does Roxana Mish.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: They are serving their sentences. Paula's location is not part
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: of those sentences. It never had to be. Somewhere in
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the province of Santa Fe, or somewhere beyond it, Paula
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Perez is still waiting to be found. And the two
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: people who could end that wait have decided, every single day,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: since September 18th, 2011, that they will not. This show
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: is made by Oba Media.
