About this episode

35 stab wounds: the system that ignored her reports: The feminicide of Dariela Valdés Rocha A law student filed four formal reports, survived a shooting attempt, and was murdered with 35 stab wounds by the same man she identified to the prosecutor's office. The crime occurred while authorities were conducting home surveillance. How did a victim who did everything right end up dead? In this episode, we explore the cycle of violence that authorities deliberately dismantled, the police omission during a documented assault, and the prosecutor's argument that used Dariela's fear as a reason to suspend her protection. We examine surveillance cameras that refute the detained person's version, nine defensive wounds that narrate her last fight, and the subsequent threats her family continues to receive. Victim: Dariela Valdés Rocha, 25 years old Date: January 15, 2023 Location: Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico Status: Defendant in pending oral trial - Four formal reports filed with the prosecutor's office between June 2022 and January 2023; surveillance suspended arguing the victim's will. - Shooting attempt at Waldos store on June 2, 2022, with two injured; attackers claimed to have been hired by the detained person. - Neighboring surveillance cameras invalidate the "third person" alibi; no gray vehicle or intruder recorded. - Prosecutor Ricardo Iván Carpio Sánchez publicly admitted that the institution was aware of the reports and chose to leave the victim unprotected.
