About this episode
The warehouse that concealed a crime for 17 months: The femicide of Fernanda Maciel A warehouse was examined six times. Fernanda's body had been there since the first week, covered with lime 80 meters from her own home. How did a pregnant woman disappear in plain sight of the police for over a year without leaving a visible trace? In this episode, we explore the contradictions between Felipe Rojas's confession, the forensic evidence, and the six failed examinations that overlooked a 70-centimeter grave. Sequenced surveillance cameras recorded every movement. A hardware receipt with an exact time links the accused to the lime and cement. And an autopsy reveals details that contradict the official narrative of an impulsive crime. Victim: Fernanda Maciel Date: February 10, 2018 Location: Conchalí, Santiago, Chile Status: Charged with qualified homicide; preventive detention without conviction - Rojas bought lime and cement on February 12, two days after the crime, with a hardware receipt stamped with an exact time. - Cameras captured Rojas on a bicycle arriving at the warehouse at 17:17, Fernanda walking towards it at 17:29, and Rojas leaving alone at 19:31. - The seventh examination found the body; the six previous ones overlooked a grave covered with debris and cement inside the warehouse. - Rojas stated that the grave "was already ready," contradicting his account of an impulsive crime without premeditation.
