The night a government fell in Catamarca

The night a government fell in Catamarca: The homicide of María Soledad Morales Early morning of September 1990, Route 38 in Catamarca. A driver saw police gathered and they told him there was nothing. Hours later, road workers found a body at that exact spot. How could the police not see it? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that brought down a government: the body washed by order of the police chief, witnesses who massively retracted between investigation and trial, and a deliberately concealed injected overdose of 34.6 micrograms.
