The nail polish that identified Allison: five months without answers

The nail polish that identified Allison: five months without answers: The murder of Allison Bonilla A mother recognizes her daughter's remains by the nail polish she painted herself days before. In the early morning of March 4, 2020, Allison Bonilla, 19 years old, disappeared after getting off a bus in Cartago, Costa Rica. A man confessed where she was, but then denied everything. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that undermine the sentence: how an irrefutable DNA confession led to a simple homicide of just 18 years, why objects reappeared in areas already searched, and who the two men were that chased Allison that night. Justice convicted, but the case remains open and the family continues to wait for the truth.
