About this episode
The glove that pointed to the void of the Colca: The homicide of Ciro Castillo Rojo A body found 900 meters deep without shoes or jacket, with a foreign glove next to it on a route that Ciro knew well. His girlfriend survived nine days alone in the canyon. But the evidence and her own words contradicted her. In this episode, we explore how an unregistered phone call, impossible knowledge about a fracture not yet discovered, and a systematic refusal to cooperate with the forensic investigation pointed in one direction. 202 days of searching, experts concluding violent projection, a statement from a pump operator that changed everything - and a judicial file without answers. Victim: Ciro Castillo Rojo Date: April 4, 2011 Location: Colca Canyon, Arequipa, Peru Status: Case archived, no convicted perpetrator - Rosario Ponce testified without a cell phone battery, but the prosecution verified calls made during the nine days she was alone in the canyon. - Upon being rescued, she claimed to know that Ciro "had fallen and had a broken arm" - information impossible to know without being present at the scene. - The glove found next to the body was an identical model to Rosario's; Ciro was wearing his. - Autopsy revealed polytrauma inconsistent with natural free fall; experts concluded external force.
