The missing comforter and the cellphone on the table

The faces of her children revealed the fugitive from Interpol: The femicide of Cristina Shecavisa A woman disappears without a trace in the early hours of July 7, 2011. Her husband, wanted by Interpol two years later, was hiding in plain sight in Mexico: he had gained weight, changed his appearance, and became a single father. What the police could not achieve in two years, his own children did: they revealed him. How did a man protected by a former minister and former president of the Supreme Court manage to escape, evade justice, and die without being convicted? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that define this case: luminol blood stains in the master bedroom versus the organized crime theory planted by the suspect; a domestic worker threatened with death who reveals the truth; and a body that remains unfound 13 years later. The vehicle's GPS continues to indicate excavations in 2024, but impunity prevailed when Roberto Barreda died of COVID-19 without conviction. Victim: Cristina Shecavisa Date: July 6-7, 2011 Location: Guatemala City and El Progreso, Honduras Status: Open case - body not recovered - Roberto Barreda was captured in Mérida, Mexico on November 8, 2013 under the false identity Carlos Villarreal, after two years as a fugitive from Interpol. - Petrona, the domestic worker and sole eyewitness, testified that she witnessed the murder by beating and was forced to clean; she was threatened with death by the Barreda family. - Ofelia de León, former minister and former president of the Supreme Court, was arrested for obstruction of justice; she later received a plea deal paying only $518 in symbolic reparations. - The GPS of Roberto's vehicle recorded a route to El Progreso on July 7, 2011; it remains an active guide for excavations in 2024, but in 13 years, over 51 genetic analyses have been conducted without locating the remains.
