WEBVTT

00:19.519 --> 00:21.813
In the nation's capital, the mayor stated

00:21.896 --> 00:24.524
that although a decree on violence
against women is already in place,

00:24.607 --> 00:26.860
her administration is working
on a new protocol.

00:29.571 --> 00:31.656
Working conditions are rough.

00:32.532 --> 00:35.744
In Mexico City,
as in several states across the country,

00:35.827 --> 00:37.912
femicides are on the rise.

00:37.996 --> 00:41.541
So far this year, there have been 809

00:41.624 --> 00:44.669
with 173 done using a knife.

00:44.753 --> 00:48.006
You learn not to sleep,
or to sleep lightly,

00:48.757 --> 00:50.341
to sleep on and off.

00:50.842 --> 00:54.763
Statistics reveal that July
had been the greatest number of cases

00:54.846 --> 00:58.516
with 94, followed by September with 93,

00:58.600 --> 01:00.101
August with 91,

01:00.185 --> 01:04.397
March and June
with 87 and 82, respectively.

01:05.607 --> 01:09.819
It was my job to be on call
to respond to all cases of femicide.

01:09.903 --> 01:13.615
This was an increase of 183%.

01:15.241 --> 01:18.161
Also, as women, it hasn't been easy.

01:19.496 --> 01:20.622
This is an environment

01:20.705 --> 01:24.167
in which investigations
are generally carried out by men.

01:24.250 --> 01:28.213
Investigative police forces
are mostly staffed by men.

01:30.131 --> 01:32.842
So, to me,
all the work that was being done,

01:32.926 --> 01:36.846
the decisions that were being made,
seemed very, very intense.

01:39.682 --> 01:41.684
The public prosecutors were there,

01:41.768 --> 01:43.645
the commander was there,

01:43.728 --> 01:46.439
and I thought out loud,
"I'm going to hell."

01:46.940 --> 01:48.483
"I'm going to hell."

01:52.070 --> 01:55.156
And one of the public prosecutors
said to me,

01:55.907 --> 01:58.034
"Let me tell you something, boss."

01:58.785 --> 02:00.078
"You're already in hell."

02:00.161 --> 02:02.622
PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF FEMICIDES

02:37.198 --> 02:41.202
THE PROSECUTOR

02:48.293 --> 02:51.004
We open around 500 cases a week.

02:53.298 --> 02:55.049
Our society produces violence

02:55.133 --> 02:58.178
because the social structures
we have are violent.

02:59.095 --> 03:01.556
I solve one femicide,
and three more occur.

03:01.639 --> 03:05.059
I solve three, and four occur.
I solve five, and another occurs.

03:06.519 --> 03:07.937
And we have even been told

03:08.021 --> 03:12.025
that sometimes, when they think
they have seen the worst,

03:12.108 --> 03:14.277
the most painful
and the most horrible case,

03:14.360 --> 03:16.404
we see another one that surpasses it.

03:18.740 --> 03:23.328
Human evil is infinite,
and we can't imagine how deep it goes.

03:31.461 --> 03:35.965
INTERVIEW WITH WITNESS
NADYA TALINA BARRALES

03:36.925 --> 03:38.134
KAREN ITZEL'S MOTHER

03:38.218 --> 03:41.596
That day, she had invited me
to lunch at her house.

03:42.096 --> 03:45.266
I was sending her messages,
but her phone was off.

03:45.934 --> 03:47.894
She wasn't getting any messages.

03:48.394 --> 03:51.272
I was feeling desperate,
so I told José Luis,

03:51.356 --> 03:53.399
who at that time was my son-in-law,

03:53.483 --> 03:56.319
that we should go
to the Public Prosecutor's Office.

03:56.402 --> 04:00.365
And he said that he would go,
that he would let me know what they said.

04:00.448 --> 04:03.993
And I said, "No, we're going to Tláhuac."

04:04.494 --> 04:08.081
"We're going to file a report
because my daughter is missing."

04:12.418 --> 04:13.878
TLÁHUAC DISTRICT

04:13.962 --> 04:18.716
Here in Mexico City, relatives
of Karen Itzel Rodríguez Barrales

04:18.800 --> 04:21.260
blocked both directions of Tláhuac Avenue

04:21.344 --> 04:24.055
to demand a search for the 26-year-old,

04:24.138 --> 04:27.725
who disappeared when she was going
to deliver her bachelor's thesis

04:27.809 --> 04:29.435
to the university.

04:29.936 --> 04:32.814
Karen was a very happy child.

04:32.897 --> 04:36.651
She said that when she grew up,
she was going to be a dentist.

04:39.779 --> 04:42.115
She was completely dedicated

04:42.198 --> 04:43.741
to her home,

04:44.450 --> 04:47.662
to her son, even to her husband.

04:48.371 --> 04:50.748
This young man is Karen's husband.

04:50.832 --> 04:51.833
Karen's.

04:52.917 --> 04:55.545
Look, we already made contact
so the prosecutor will come.

04:56.129 --> 04:58.256
We're pressuring them
because it's the only way.

04:59.882 --> 05:04.721
The public prosecutor asked me
who was the last person to see her.

05:04.804 --> 05:07.849
And I said that it was her husband.

05:08.558 --> 05:10.977
So the public prosecutor tells me

05:11.060 --> 05:15.148
that the one who had to file
the complaint was her husband.

05:15.648 --> 05:17.150
Has a complaint been filed?

05:17.233 --> 05:20.611
Yes, it was filed on Thursday at 7:35.

05:22.447 --> 05:25.908
A missing person's case file was opened
at the Prosecutor’s Office

05:25.992 --> 05:27.869
for Karen's disappearance.

05:28.578 --> 05:32.081
She lived with her partner
in the Tláhuac borough.

05:32.165 --> 05:35.209
And they had a child together,
a young one.

05:35.793 --> 05:38.629
Karen's mother, Mrs. Nadya Baralles,

05:38.713 --> 05:43.176
had been harboring some strong suspicions
about Karen's partner.

05:43.259 --> 05:44.260
HUSBAND JOSÉ LUIS

05:44.344 --> 05:48.347
And then José Luis Palamares
calls me and says,

05:48.848 --> 05:51.017
"Mother-in-law, where are you?"

05:51.100 --> 05:52.560
I lied to him.

05:52.643 --> 05:55.146
I knew that I didn't have
to tell him where I was,

05:55.229 --> 05:58.232
but I was at the prosecutor's office.

06:00.526 --> 06:02.320
They were informing me

06:03.154 --> 06:06.157
that they had already seen
some camera footage.

06:08.701 --> 06:13.998
They had seen him taking a bundle
out of the back of a truck.

06:22.799 --> 06:26.469
They said, "Well, now,
he's no longer the complainant."

06:26.552 --> 06:30.431
"You will become the complainant,
and he becomes a suspect."

06:32.683 --> 06:35.269
I asked about it. But…

06:35.353 --> 06:38.314
And that's when
the Investigative Police arrived

06:38.815 --> 06:40.942
and executed the arrest warrant.

06:41.025 --> 06:42.944
JOSÉ LUIS GALICIA PALOMARES
EAST MEN'S PRISON

06:43.027 --> 06:45.029
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
MEXICO CITY

06:45.113 --> 06:48.366
-This is an arrest warrant.
-For what reason?

06:48.449 --> 06:51.077
-Here it is.
-Disappearance of a person.

06:52.036 --> 06:53.496
-Okay?
-Calm down.

07:00.878 --> 07:05.508
We arrested and charged José N.
for his probable involvement

07:05.591 --> 07:08.636
in the disappearance
of the young woman named Karen.

07:09.345 --> 07:13.307
I was sent to take a DNA test
for genetic analysis.

07:13.808 --> 07:14.809
That's when I said,

07:14.892 --> 07:18.938
"If the prosecutor's office
is already asking me to do this test,

07:20.022 --> 07:21.983
it's because my daughter is dead."

07:24.944 --> 07:26.028
MEXICO CITY FEMICIDE MAP

07:26.863 --> 07:30.366
After exhaustive intelligence
and field work,

07:30.867 --> 07:36.539
a multidisciplinary team located
the body of the young woman named Karen.

07:37.498 --> 07:40.418
This is the exact location
of the discovery,

07:40.501 --> 07:42.670
where we can see these plywood boards

07:42.753 --> 07:46.674
that were left here after the equipment
had plowed part of this mound of earth.

07:47.175 --> 07:50.511
This location is also very close
to the dirt road.

07:54.348 --> 07:55.850
OPEN ACCESS LOCATION

07:59.187 --> 08:00.688
CLANDESTINE GRAVE

08:03.316 --> 08:06.777
FOUND AFTER NO MORE THAN 10 DAYS

08:06.861 --> 08:08.237
FEMICIDE

08:09.113 --> 08:10.907
-Your name?
-Yes, Your Honor.

08:10.990 --> 08:13.367
My name is José Luis Galicia Palomares.

08:13.451 --> 08:16.078
I'm a dentist with a degree
and a professional license.

08:16.162 --> 08:18.164
Neither my parents, nor my family,

08:18.247 --> 08:20.791
nor I have anything
to do with this situation.

08:23.920 --> 08:26.881
None of the expert reports
show that it was me,

08:26.964 --> 08:29.508
neither in videos, nor in photos.

08:30.009 --> 08:31.093
There's nothing.

08:33.012 --> 08:35.932
I was assigned
to carry out this investigation.

08:36.557 --> 08:37.683
From the investigation,

08:37.767 --> 08:41.062
it is noted that she did not go out
to drop off her thesis

08:41.145 --> 08:42.897
as the husband had stated.

08:42.980 --> 08:46.108
And as the husband begins
to contradict himself,

08:46.192 --> 08:49.237
we begin to realize that there are
some loose ends in the case.

08:51.447 --> 08:53.824
I told the prosecutor at that time,

08:53.908 --> 08:57.286
"This is not over,
this is not over, prosecutor."

08:57.370 --> 08:59.830
And she told me, "Yes, Mrs. Nadya."

08:59.914 --> 09:04.168
She says, "There will be justice.
Trust the authorities."

09:04.669 --> 09:08.631
I told her, "I trust the authorities,
prosecutor. Don't let me down."

09:13.135 --> 09:15.680
When parents tell you, I mean,

09:16.889 --> 09:18.641
they confront you suddenly and say,

09:18.724 --> 09:21.102
"What would you do
if it were your children?"

09:22.270 --> 09:23.729
I don't know what I would do.

09:24.647 --> 09:26.274
And for that reason,

09:26.357 --> 09:30.278
well, I think that had also been
another one of the reasons why…

09:30.778 --> 09:36.117
Well, at least it was part
of why I had not yet made the decision

09:36.200 --> 09:39.412
to actively pursue becoming a mother.

09:45.960 --> 09:50.631
I was thinking, "Why would I want
to become a mother to a girl

09:51.132 --> 09:53.342
when we are living in a country

09:53.426 --> 09:58.180
in which gender equality
is still somewhere on a distant horizon,

09:58.681 --> 10:01.142
and where women must learn to bear,

10:01.225 --> 10:06.355
to varying degrees,
the risk of being victims of femicide?"

10:27.001 --> 10:30.338
This case, Yrma Lydya's case,

10:30.421 --> 10:35.051
I think it was, like, a day or two after
we had just gone to the Remedios river

10:35.134 --> 10:37.553
and found the remains of Joana Esmeralda,

10:37.637 --> 10:39.597
when Yrma Lydya's femicide took place.

10:41.098 --> 10:44.810
So the wheel keeps turning
and it doesn't ever stop.

10:48.147 --> 10:50.107
And it was so cruel.

10:51.651 --> 10:56.572
The perfect passionate woman who gives
her whole life to the stage, that's me.

10:56.656 --> 11:00.076
When I'm singing, it's like if I'm flying.

11:03.746 --> 11:05.790
I think Yrma Lydya was very clear

11:05.873 --> 11:08.668
that she wanted to be a singer,
and not just any singer.

11:08.751 --> 11:10.294
She wanted to be a star,

11:10.378 --> 11:13.547
a star on the level of the greats
that Mexico had produced,

11:13.631 --> 11:16.509
like Lola Beltrán, Lucha Villa.

11:16.592 --> 11:18.260
But she wanted to be at that level.

11:18.761 --> 11:21.305
And she even told me,
for each performance,

11:21.389 --> 11:24.642
she almost always said,
"I don't wanna wear the same dress."

11:24.725 --> 11:27.061
"Make me one for this performance."

11:27.603 --> 11:31.482
Because she was already dreaming
of becoming a big star in Mexico,

11:31.982 --> 11:34.026
a star in Mexican folk music.

11:34.819 --> 11:36.362
This outfit,

11:37.321 --> 11:40.241
this was the last thing
she had asked me to make for her,

11:40.324 --> 11:42.284
to help her start her own path.

11:42.368 --> 11:43.744
YRMA LYDYA'S FRIEND

11:43.828 --> 11:48.416
Because until then, everything
had been chosen for her by her husband.

11:48.916 --> 11:51.961
They had been separated
for about ten days.

11:53.462 --> 11:54.964
RELATION: FAMILY
AGE RANGE: YOUNG ADULT

11:55.047 --> 11:58.175
We have a femicide
at the Suntory Restaurant in Del Valle,

11:58.259 --> 11:59.260
and boom.

12:00.845 --> 12:03.013
Tonight, a woman
was murdered by her husband

12:03.097 --> 12:05.975
inside the Suntory Restaurant
in the Del Valle neighborhood,

12:06.058 --> 12:09.437
in the Benito Juárez borough,
here in Mexico City.

12:13.899 --> 12:16.318
The Yrma Lydya case was a femicide

12:16.402 --> 12:18.738
that occurred
in a very upscale neighborhood,

12:19.780 --> 12:22.950
an area where the upper social classes go,

12:23.576 --> 12:25.494
the Suntory Restaurant.

12:25.578 --> 12:28.122
This is the Suntory Del Valle Restaurant.

12:30.791 --> 12:33.043
This is where the events took place.

12:36.630 --> 12:40.426
Our team arrived at the scene,
and there was already a perimeter,

12:41.635 --> 12:44.889
which was established
by the Department of Public Safety.

12:46.891 --> 12:49.894
And, at that time,

12:50.478 --> 12:53.606
the officers carried out
the arrest of Jesús Alcocer

12:54.106 --> 12:56.233
and one of his bodyguards,

12:56.317 --> 12:58.944
because the other one
had already fled the scene.

13:01.781 --> 13:05.868
Almost immediately, this story
was being reported in all the media.

13:07.119 --> 13:09.038
The lawyer had shot his wife.

13:09.121 --> 13:12.583
She was the singer Yrma Lydya,
21 years old,

13:13.083 --> 13:15.753
whom several other diners tried to help,

13:15.836 --> 13:18.589
but the three gunshots
had already taken her life.

13:18.672 --> 13:21.050
I went straight to the office,

13:22.593 --> 13:25.679
and the police units
had already arrived there.

13:25.763 --> 13:28.390
The police units were here
at the Prosecutor's Office

13:28.474 --> 13:31.018
with this man
and his bodyguard, Mr. Benjamín.

13:31.519 --> 13:36.899
They were on duty in the department
here at the Femicide Prosecutor's Office.

13:37.399 --> 13:41.028
The man whom they were holding in custody
was an elderly person,

13:41.695 --> 13:43.447
over 70 years old.

13:43.948 --> 13:46.158
He looked energetic at that time.

13:46.242 --> 13:49.203
Tall, a tall man, gray hair.

13:50.037 --> 13:53.249
He was wearing a white shirt,
I think, a tie and suspenders.

13:55.459 --> 13:58.587
A person who appeared
to be obviously wealthy.

13:59.088 --> 14:00.589
But who is this alleged lawyer?

14:00.673 --> 14:03.634
He's reported
to be ostentatious, arrogant.

14:03.717 --> 14:06.470
He carried a firearm
that he would openly display

14:06.554 --> 14:09.390
and place on the table
to intimidate his counterparts.

14:09.473 --> 14:12.393
He boasted
that he could get the security agencies

14:12.476 --> 14:15.062
to buy from the suppliers he specified.

14:15.563 --> 14:19.191
It was also said
that he had ties to Genaro García Luna,

14:19.275 --> 14:21.610
the controversial
Secretary of Public Security

14:21.694 --> 14:24.280
during Felipe Calderón's six-year term.

14:24.363 --> 14:26.615
This guy is a real piece of work, huh?

14:35.499 --> 14:38.460
Prosecutor Ernestina Godoy said to me,

14:39.044 --> 14:42.840
"Sayuri, I have received many calls

14:42.923 --> 14:46.051
from people asking for favors
for Jesús Alcocer."

14:48.262 --> 14:50.014
Sayuri, good evening.

14:50.890 --> 14:55.686
We're going to have to be very firm
with these detainees going forward,

14:56.562 --> 15:00.900
because the suspect
has already made calls everywhere.

15:01.400 --> 15:06.405
I knew him.
I personally knew him as a lawyer.

15:06.989 --> 15:08.616
I can tell you one thing for sure.

15:08.699 --> 15:12.453
A lot of people's phones
were ringing off the hook.

15:13.203 --> 15:16.874
Let's just say that some powerful,

15:17.666 --> 15:21.503
economically powerful,
politically powerful people as well,

15:21.587 --> 15:25.925
these were people who were friends of his,
and also friends of mine.

15:27.217 --> 15:31.805
They were like, "What's going on?
Really? Are you sure?"

15:31.889 --> 15:33.891
"Could it be
that someone is setting him up?"

15:33.974 --> 15:36.268
"This has to be investigated thoroughly."

15:36.352 --> 15:38.145
"Of course, rest assured

15:38.228 --> 15:41.231
that we will investigate this
very thoroughly."

15:41.815 --> 15:44.026
Apparently, he knows a lot of people,

15:44.109 --> 15:46.737
but sorry, that doesn't excuse him.

15:47.279 --> 15:49.949
Well, we'll be vigilant. Thank you.

15:52.201 --> 15:55.245
Those are the conditions
I need in order to do my job.

15:58.082 --> 16:00.209
When the public prosecutors know

16:00.292 --> 16:03.212
that they have the protection,
support and determination

16:03.295 --> 16:05.506
to move forward coming from up above,

16:05.589 --> 16:08.175
the public prosecutors can make progress.

16:13.013 --> 16:16.100
And so we immediately sent
our investigative people

16:16.183 --> 16:20.020
to the crime scene, and they started
the investigation at that time,

16:20.104 --> 16:23.857
to take photographic evidence,
to take blood samples,

16:23.941 --> 16:26.068
and to recover the bullet casings.

16:26.151 --> 16:28.862
TODAY THE FIRST HEARING MAY BE HELD
TO DEFINE THEIR LEGAL SITUATION

16:28.946 --> 16:31.824
Mr. Jesús Alcocer maintains the narrative

16:31.907 --> 16:33.867
that he did not shoot his wife,

16:33.951 --> 16:37.830
and that he is as much a victim
as the other relatives of the deceased.

16:38.330 --> 16:41.041
The lawyer told us
that there is not, according to him,

16:41.125 --> 16:45.462
a single piece of evidence showing
that Jesús Hernández fired at his wife.

16:50.050 --> 16:52.636
There were strong indications,

16:52.720 --> 16:55.681
ballistic indications,
bullet casings that were processed,

16:56.265 --> 17:00.894
collected in an area where it was clear
that people had been socializing.

17:05.441 --> 17:08.360
At the scene, there were wine glasses

17:08.444 --> 17:11.530
and some illegible writings
on the tablecloths.

17:23.459 --> 17:26.628
Here we are
in this very large evidence warehouse.

17:26.712 --> 17:28.130
It's just huge.

17:29.339 --> 17:34.094
Well, this is part of the job, right,
that we perform at the scene of the crime.

17:36.096 --> 17:40.100
But as a public prosecutor, I don't have
direct contact with the evidence.

17:40.184 --> 17:44.062
The person who has that contact
is the one who processes the evidence.

17:48.776 --> 17:52.738
On the restaurant table,
there was a kind of tablecloth

17:52.821 --> 17:54.948
on which there were some handwritten notes

17:55.032 --> 17:59.620
that, well, we deduced
that Yrma Lydya had made these notes.

18:04.833 --> 18:07.336
There had been
some problems and disagreements

18:07.419 --> 18:09.755
that she wrote about on the tablecloth.

18:09.838 --> 18:11.131
2. GETS WORSE EVERY DAY

18:12.132 --> 18:15.511
She let Mr. Alcocer know
that she was no longer happy,

18:15.594 --> 18:17.805
that she no longer wanted
to be with him.

18:17.888 --> 18:20.015
That was the motive perhaps

18:20.724 --> 18:23.602
for Mr. Alcocer
to commit this criminal act.

18:23.685 --> 18:25.854

GENERAL ELEMENTS AREA

18:36.907 --> 18:39.284
BALLISTICS 2022

18:43.705 --> 18:48.210
The Investigative Police team
went to Mr. Alcocer's home,

18:48.293 --> 18:52.756
and indeed, they found the weapon
that was used in the femicide.

19:03.976 --> 19:06.770
This firearm is quite distinctive,

19:07.771 --> 19:10.858
in that it is sometimes called
"the cop killer."

19:12.317 --> 19:16.572
It has the peculiarity
of being a fairly powerful caliber weapon…

19:19.658 --> 19:22.870
that has been adapted
to a smaller firearm.

19:26.540 --> 19:30.419
It is specifically designed
to penetrate certain levels of armor,

19:30.502 --> 19:33.672
which is why it was given
the nickname "the cop killer."

19:41.805 --> 19:45.893
At 12:00 p.m.
I'll call Elia right now to see if…

19:45.976 --> 19:47.561
Really? You'll call? Okay…

19:47.644 --> 19:50.939
I'll do that while you run
the investigation on the clothing.

19:51.815 --> 19:54.193
Okay, so what about the fucking videos?

19:54.276 --> 19:56.778
Will they give them to us?
Are they gonna pick them up?

19:57.654 --> 20:00.032
Yes, they were supposed to go for…

20:00.115 --> 20:04.453
The amount of pressure we felt
during that time, oh my God.

20:06.079 --> 20:09.708
Those were some difficult
and complicated hours.

20:10.208 --> 20:12.336
Very stressful, very stressful.

20:13.128 --> 20:16.131
In 48 hours,
we had to resolve the legal situation

20:16.215 --> 20:18.383
of Mr. Alcocer and Mr. Benjamin.

20:18.884 --> 20:21.678
-Fuck yeah, let's go.
-Okay? Let me call Elia.

20:22.304 --> 20:24.306
-Please, man, okay?
-Okay, buddy.

20:24.389 --> 20:26.725
Sounds good.
I'll move on to the next matter.

20:39.529 --> 20:41.490
What's the first thing they ask for?

20:42.074 --> 20:45.410
-A letter of intent.
-Oh my God. And after that?

20:47.871 --> 20:50.624
Next is a certified copy
of the birth certificate.

20:51.792 --> 20:53.669
A certified copy
of the marriage certificate.

20:53.752 --> 20:55.420
Well, if that's the case, right?

20:55.504 --> 20:58.340
If it's a civil partnership,
provide documentary evidence.

20:58.840 --> 20:59.675
No.

21:01.051 --> 21:03.637
An adoption process can be long.

21:03.720 --> 21:06.890
These processes require a lot of patience,

21:06.974 --> 21:11.436
and they require the applicants
to deliver a large amount of paperwork.

21:11.520 --> 21:13.772
BIRTH CERTIFICATE

21:13.855 --> 21:17.734
It's my explanatory statement,
my statement of intent.

21:19.820 --> 21:22.322
You have to undergo so many tests.

21:22.406 --> 21:25.242
Psychological tests, medical tests.

21:25.325 --> 21:27.494
You know, it's not a minor thing

21:27.577 --> 21:31.665
because being able
to care for a young child

21:31.748 --> 21:34.001
is a huge responsibility.

21:36.420 --> 21:38.964
I'm suffering
from writer's block, you know.

21:39.047 --> 21:40.716
Yeah.

21:42.759 --> 21:43.927
Uh-huh.

21:45.470 --> 21:48.265
Even though I'm feeling
a little bit hesitant,

21:48.890 --> 21:53.395
I'm determined to start the process,
to begin the adoption process.

21:55.605 --> 21:58.900
My decision to adopt a child
comes from the heart.

21:59.401 --> 22:01.278
I mean, it's not a…

22:02.112 --> 22:04.281
It's not because I can't conceive.

22:15.167 --> 22:19.171
KAREN ITZEL RODRÍGUEZ
CLINICAL LABORATORY TECHNICIAN

22:25.344 --> 22:27.054
I'd put my grandson to sleep.

22:27.137 --> 22:29.264
I'd feed him dinner. I'd tuck him in.

22:29.348 --> 22:31.183
I'd read him a story, then…

22:32.851 --> 22:34.478
I'd watch the videos.

22:35.645 --> 22:39.441
REQUEST C2 VIDEO CAMERAS
AND PRIVATE CAMERAS

22:39.524 --> 22:41.026
You can see all the movement

22:41.109 --> 22:43.695
'cause the camera is
in the corner of the property.

22:45.113 --> 22:47.949
Ms. Nadya was upset, furious.

22:48.033 --> 22:52.704
She said to me, "They're lying to me.
I know more people were involved in this."

22:53.205 --> 22:56.917
And she was upset because it seemed
like she had to convince us

22:57.000 --> 22:59.127
that there were more people
involved in the crime.

23:12.432 --> 23:17.187
At 1:12, you can see
when they take my daughter's body out.

23:19.481 --> 23:21.691
Palomares pulls the SUV out,

23:22.192 --> 23:25.612
and the one closing the gate
is Mr. José Luis,

23:25.695 --> 23:27.406
who was my daughter's father-in-law.

23:28.615 --> 23:33.578
FATHER OF JOSÉ LUIS GALICIA PALOMARES

23:33.662 --> 23:37.916
And he sits in the back,
behind the driver, behind Palomares.

23:48.176 --> 23:49.928
And they drive away.

23:59.104 --> 24:02.774
But when you follow that truck
to where they went to dump my daughter,

24:03.692 --> 24:05.235
you can see everything.

24:20.792 --> 24:23.795
And then they go
into San Miguel Las Tablas.

25:11.134 --> 25:13.178
And the distance from where they drove in

25:13.261 --> 25:17.599
to where they buried my daughter's body,
it's just a few steps.

25:34.157 --> 25:37.244
And when they return
from disposing of my daughter's body,

25:38.245 --> 25:40.830
around 4:40-something in the morning,

25:43.208 --> 25:46.419
you can see
how Martha Beatriz opens the gate for them

25:46.503 --> 25:47.921
when they come back.

25:48.004 --> 25:50.882
MOTHER-IN-LAW

25:50.966 --> 25:53.802
You can see
how Martha Beatriz opens the gate

25:54.678 --> 25:56.596
so they can drive in quickly,

25:56.680 --> 25:58.265
and how she closes the gate,

25:58.348 --> 26:01.726
and you can see them
getting out of that SUV.

26:06.982 --> 26:08.567
The Public Prosecutor's Office

26:10.527 --> 26:13.530
usually has a lot
of other investigation files.

26:14.030 --> 26:16.950
And the families are often 100% committed

26:17.033 --> 26:20.662
to seeking justice
and to understanding all that happened,

26:20.745 --> 26:24.416
to getting a clear picture of the facts,
not only in the files,

26:24.499 --> 26:27.669
but also in the places
where the crimes were committed,

26:27.752 --> 26:29.504
with the victim's friends.

26:30.005 --> 26:33.049
And that's where I think that,
with effective collaboration

26:33.133 --> 26:37.304
between family members and prosecutors,
we can make progress.

26:37.387 --> 26:38.471
WANTED
FUGITIVE

27:18.928 --> 27:23.224
AT LEAST TWO SUBJECTS

27:23.308 --> 27:26.311
When I first took a look
at the file, I knew it was impossible

27:26.394 --> 27:29.230
that only one person
was involved in these events.

27:30.565 --> 27:34.152
It's my job, not Ms. Nadya's job.

27:34.235 --> 27:38.865
It's my job to investigate and to prove
that more people were involved

27:39.366 --> 27:42.202
and to what degree they were involved.

27:44.079 --> 27:49.125
I think that the most outstanding
part of Carolina's work on this

27:49.209 --> 27:51.503
was in listening carefully,

27:52.170 --> 27:54.089
and working exhaustively,

27:54.589 --> 27:57.676
and being attentive
to Ms. Nadya's requests.

27:57.759 --> 28:00.678
So we are in courtroom number 21

28:00.762 --> 28:03.181
to continue the trial
and analysis hearings

28:03.264 --> 28:07.519
against José Luis Galicia Palomares
for the criminal act of femicide.

28:08.603 --> 28:10.772
I've attended all the hearings.

28:10.855 --> 28:12.982
I've been involved in my daughter's case.

28:13.692 --> 28:16.611
Good afternoon, NTBV, vicarious victim

28:16.695 --> 28:19.489
and representative
of my minor grandson, JNGR.

28:19.572 --> 28:23.868
NTBV, vicarious victim and representative
of my minor grandson.

28:23.952 --> 28:27.163
NTBV, vicarious victim.

28:27.247 --> 28:31.000
Vicarious victim and representative
of my minor grandson, JNGR.

28:31.084 --> 28:35.505
I don't get anything from this,
nor do I want anything, except justice.

28:45.306 --> 28:47.225
It is the principle of thoroughness,

28:47.726 --> 28:50.311
meaning that all lines of investigation,

28:50.395 --> 28:52.439
all evidence must be processed.

28:52.522 --> 28:54.649
And that if this results
in new information

28:54.733 --> 28:57.986
that needs to be processed, then so be it.

29:12.417 --> 29:14.961
17:30 YRMA LYDYA CASE

29:15.044 --> 29:20.008
Yrma, I'm so happy
to be joining you here at your home.

29:20.091 --> 29:23.052
She and her husband,
who is a true gentleman,

29:23.136 --> 29:26.931
a wonderful human being,
a well-known lawyer, Jesús…

29:27.015 --> 29:30.685
-Hernández Alcocer.
-Jesús Hernández Alcocer.

29:31.186 --> 29:34.314
You have no idea
how wonderful a person he is.

29:34.397 --> 29:39.444
Just like her,
so polite, so gentlemanly, so attentive.

29:40.737 --> 29:44.032
In our investigation
into any history of violence,

29:44.115 --> 29:47.368
we realized that there was a complaint
that Yrma Lydya had made,

29:47.452 --> 29:51.915
which the Prosecutor's Office classified
at the time as domestic violence.

29:53.500 --> 29:54.834
Jesús, did you fall?

29:55.335 --> 29:56.336
Jesús!

29:57.003 --> 29:58.379
Fuck off!

29:59.756 --> 30:02.133
-What's wrong with you?
-I'll beat the shit out of you!

30:02.217 --> 30:05.929
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you, Jesús?

30:06.971 --> 30:09.849
You don't have to hit me.
I came to help you.

30:12.977 --> 30:16.314
Eventually, she succumbed
to pressure from this man

30:16.397 --> 30:18.900
to forego filing charges for this crime.

30:19.400 --> 30:23.196
And we, at the time,
after a technical legal analysis was done,

30:23.279 --> 30:25.532
considered the leniency null and void,

30:25.615 --> 30:28.117
because what we found
in Yrma Lydya's account

30:28.201 --> 30:30.411
constituted an attempted femicide.

30:30.495 --> 30:33.665
She had been threatened,
she had been beaten.

30:33.748 --> 30:35.667
Mr. Alcocer had threatened her

30:35.750 --> 30:38.795
when he pointed a gun at her head,
threatening to kill her.

30:38.878 --> 30:41.339
And she only managed to escape

30:41.422 --> 30:44.300
thanks to the cleaning staff
who came to her aid.

30:44.384 --> 30:47.470
In this case, leniency was not justified

30:47.554 --> 30:49.472
because the Public Prosecutor's Office

30:49.556 --> 30:52.058
should have granted
protective measures for her,

30:52.141 --> 30:54.936
and should have worked
to obtain an arrest warrant

30:55.019 --> 30:56.938
to prevent Mr. Alcocer

30:57.021 --> 30:59.941
from continuing to commit violence
against Yrma Lydya.

31:00.024 --> 31:01.234
And she'd still be alive

31:01.317 --> 31:04.404
if the Public Prosecutor's Office
had acted in that manner.

31:06.698 --> 31:09.534
Of course it makes us angry.
It makes us very angry.

31:11.661 --> 31:14.539
We cannot say,
"It's a different investigation."

31:14.622 --> 31:16.875
"It's another prosecutor's office."

31:16.958 --> 31:19.586
I think it's
an institutional responsibility.

31:20.086 --> 31:22.755
-I'm going to sing you a ranchera.
-Yes.

31:22.839 --> 31:25.216
It's called "I Was Wrong About You."

31:25.300 --> 31:26.467
Oh, yes, honey.

31:26.551 --> 31:32.098
I was wrong about you

31:32.181 --> 31:35.059
I was terribly wrong

31:35.143 --> 31:37.812
As very few

31:38.271 --> 31:42.275
Have ever been wrong

31:42.775 --> 31:45.612
I met you in church

31:45.695 --> 31:48.448
And I looked at you in silence

31:48.531 --> 31:55.204
So as not to disturb your prayer
Which is sacred to me…

32:09.218 --> 32:12.347
We were facing a very complex hearing

32:13.014 --> 32:16.100
before the Judiciary Authority
in this case.

32:16.601 --> 32:19.729
In Mexico City, on June 26th, 2022,

32:19.812 --> 32:21.356
we are in hearing room number 11,

32:21.939 --> 32:24.609
located in the North Prison,
to hold a preliminary hearing

32:24.692 --> 32:27.946
against Jesús Hernández Alcocer
and Benjamín Hernández Mendoza

32:28.029 --> 32:29.947
for the crime of femicide.

32:30.031 --> 32:32.075
Please, on behalf
of the Prosecutor's Office,

32:32.158 --> 32:33.117
who is present?

32:33.201 --> 32:36.913
Your Honor, Héctor Miguel Ortiz
Acosta of the Public Prosecutor's Office

32:36.996 --> 32:39.874
with the Femicide Investigation
Prosecutor's Office.

32:39.957 --> 32:41.626
We have the witness interview.

32:41.709 --> 32:44.712
Your personal information
will be kept confidential.

32:44.796 --> 32:46.255
PROTECTED WITNESS
YRMA LYDYA CASE

32:46.339 --> 32:50.301
I arrived at Suntory that night,
a few minutes after 7:00 p.m.

32:50.385 --> 32:52.512
INTERVIEW WITH WITNESS T1
FROM JULY 9, 2022

32:52.595 --> 32:55.139
Once inside, they gave me the first table,

32:55.640 --> 32:58.893
which is right in front
of the private dining room,

32:59.394 --> 33:00.853
which had glass doors.

33:00.937 --> 33:03.648
Inside that room, there were two people,

33:03.731 --> 33:07.694
a young woman and a much older man.

33:07.777 --> 33:10.697
He had gray hair
and was wearing suspenders, by the way.

33:10.780 --> 33:12.365
THE COUPLE IN THE PRIVATE ROOM

33:12.448 --> 33:15.660
After a few minutes, in the private room,

33:16.661 --> 33:20.331
I saw that an argument between the two
of them was getting heated,

33:20.415 --> 33:21.958
and it was very bad.

33:23.835 --> 33:25.962
As soon as we had the opportunity,

33:26.045 --> 33:28.464
we informed
one of the Suntory head waiters

33:28.548 --> 33:32.218
that the argument in the private room
was getting very heated,

33:32.301 --> 33:37.306
and that he should take precautions
because it was getting ugly in that room.

33:38.015 --> 33:40.268
And soon, at some point,

33:40.351 --> 33:44.188
I could hear that the man
had started raising his voice a lot.

33:44.272 --> 33:45.606
And he said to her,

33:46.607 --> 33:50.319
"Because you are going to change.
You are going to change!"

33:50.403 --> 33:51.696
YOU ARE GOING TO CHANGE!

33:51.779 --> 33:55.033
He said it in a very,
very aggressive and loud tone.

33:56.409 --> 33:59.954
When one of the other waiters came by,
we told him again,

34:00.455 --> 34:04.417
"Hey, this is getting worse,
and it seems like the man is armed."

34:05.668 --> 34:07.336
"Yes, we'll look into it," he said.

34:08.337 --> 34:11.215
What happened next was just unbelievable.

34:13.176 --> 34:16.971
At then at some point, she looked at us,

34:17.054 --> 34:19.223
but she didn't say anything.

34:20.099 --> 34:22.894
She looked at us
with a fearful expression.

34:23.561 --> 34:25.897
She raised her eyebrows
and her eyes were wide open,

34:25.980 --> 34:27.857
as if to say, "Do something."

34:29.692 --> 34:30.943
He aimed at her.

34:32.612 --> 34:35.990
I said, "He's aiming the gun at her.
He's going to shoot her!"

34:36.074 --> 34:37.325
And he shot her.

34:38.701 --> 34:41.496
MR. JESÚS FIRED THE SECOND SHOT

34:41.579 --> 34:47.919
MR. JESÚS FIRED A THIRD SHOT

34:48.002 --> 34:51.172
Then… one of his assistants came in.

34:51.672 --> 34:54.509
I didn't hear the question
he asked the defendant,

34:54.592 --> 34:56.803
but the question is easy to guess

34:56.886 --> 35:01.516
because what Hernández Alcocer
answered was,

35:02.058 --> 35:04.268
"Well, off to jail! Fuck it!"

35:04.352 --> 35:07.230
"Because she was a fucking whore!"

35:12.026 --> 35:14.529
A judge determined a few moments ago

35:15.113 --> 35:19.909
that lawyer Jesús Hernández Alcocer
will remain in custody.

35:20.409 --> 35:22.245
He and his driver and bodyguard,

35:22.328 --> 35:24.872
Benjamín Hernández Mendoza, 42,

35:24.956 --> 35:28.668
were charged for the femicide
of Yrma Lydya Gamboa, 22.

35:29.877 --> 35:32.880
An arrest warrant was issued
for the second bodyguard,

35:33.381 --> 35:35.925
who we consider
an accomplice to the crime,

35:36.425 --> 35:38.803
and who is currently
a fugitive from justice.

35:39.971 --> 35:46.978
REWARD
WANTED

36:17.633 --> 36:20.136
The investigation
into who killed this young woman

36:20.219 --> 36:21.637
took an unexpected turn.

36:22.138 --> 36:24.682
The Mexico City
Prosecutor’s Office reported

36:24.765 --> 36:28.144
that Karen Itzel Rodríguez Barrales
was found.

36:28.227 --> 36:30.563
We're going to check for blood.

36:31.814 --> 36:34.567
We're going to look for fingerprints,

36:34.650 --> 36:40.323
bloodstains and other forensic evidence
in the following rooms of that house.

36:40.406 --> 36:43.993
In the bathroom, on the stairs,
in the upstairs living room,

36:44.076 --> 36:47.663
in the downstairs living room,
and also in our victim's room.

36:50.791 --> 36:56.255
This document that we are going
to read aloud, along with the audio,

36:57.298 --> 37:02.428
represents the guidelines under which
the arrest warrant was requested.

37:02.511 --> 37:05.223
-Palomares, José Luis Palomares.
-José Luis Palomares.

37:05.306 --> 37:08.684
Pay attention. Remember that this is
the summary of the whole case.

37:08.768 --> 37:11.896
In case we miss something,
girls, pay attention.

37:12.688 --> 37:16.067
Pay close attention to the details.
Listen carefully, okay?

37:16.859 --> 37:18.819
Field forensics report.

37:18.903 --> 37:22.490
Female buried at a depth
of 1.6 meters in a secret grave

37:22.573 --> 37:24.492
in order to hide the body.

37:24.575 --> 37:27.411
In addition, the space
was filled with soil and plants

37:27.495 --> 37:29.538
so as to make it less visible.

37:29.622 --> 37:30.623
Autopsy report.

37:30.706 --> 37:36.420
The body of the victim KIRB showed signs
of asphyxiation by strangulation,

37:36.504 --> 37:38.089
which is classified as fatal.

37:38.172 --> 37:40.675
In this case,
according to the location and evidence,

37:40.758 --> 37:44.512
there is a probability
that more than one person was involved.

37:53.562 --> 37:56.691
Everyone, bring your jackets
and make sure they're clearly labeled.

37:57.900 --> 37:59.110
Let's go inside.

38:11.872 --> 38:13.040
So you have my number.

38:13.124 --> 38:15.459
-Yes.
-Let me know if you need anything.

38:15.543 --> 38:17.169
-But you can't come in.
-That's fine.

38:17.253 --> 38:19.964
-So we don't jeopardize the investigation.
-Of course.

38:45.656 --> 38:50.703
Thank you. This hearing was scheduled
for the testimony of JNGR.

38:51.287 --> 38:52.913
Is your witness ready, prosecutor?

38:52.997 --> 38:55.666
Yes, Your Honor.
Here is the protected witness.

38:58.002 --> 39:01.881
On one occasion,
when we had just come back from swimming,

39:03.966 --> 39:06.093
I started washing the dishes,

39:06.177 --> 39:08.679
and he brought a chair, dragged it over,

39:08.763 --> 39:12.183
climbed on it, and said,
"Grandma, stop washing the dishes."

39:12.266 --> 39:16.145
"Listen to me. I want you to listen to me
and look me in the eyes."

39:17.396 --> 39:20.608
-I said, "Sure, son."
-He said, "Turn off the faucet."

39:20.691 --> 39:23.611
I turned off the faucet,
sat in front of him and said,

39:23.694 --> 39:25.404
"What's going on, son?"

39:25.905 --> 39:30.868
And he said, "My mom was killed
in the upstairs bathroom."

39:31.368 --> 39:32.661
I was in shock.

39:33.913 --> 39:34.914
Hi.

39:37.166 --> 39:39.293
-How are you?
-Fine.

39:39.377 --> 39:41.504
Good. Do you know why you're here?

39:42.004 --> 39:43.756
Because my mom was killed.

39:43.839 --> 39:45.716
PROTECTED WITNESS
KAREN ITZEL CASE

39:45.800 --> 39:47.468
Who's your mom?

39:47.968 --> 39:51.138
Karen Itzel Rodríguez Barrales.

39:52.973 --> 39:55.267
Can you tell us where this happened?

39:56.102 --> 39:58.145
In the upstairs bathroom.

40:01.273 --> 40:04.819
-Whose bathroom is that?
-Martha Beatriz.

40:05.319 --> 40:08.489
-Who is Martha Beatriz?
-Grandma.

40:09.448 --> 40:11.325
-Your grandma?
-Yes.

40:12.201 --> 40:14.745
How do you know
it was in the upstairs bathroom?

40:16.038 --> 40:17.623
Because I saw it.

40:27.007 --> 40:30.594
You see these dots? There it is.
Wait, wait. Can we turn it off, please?

40:33.472 --> 40:34.849
-Chemi…
-Luminescence.

40:34.932 --> 40:38.060
-Luminescence.
-Irregular chemiluminescence.

40:39.728 --> 40:43.524
On the footprint
on the fourth step from the bottom.

40:44.233 --> 40:45.234
Keep going?

40:49.029 --> 40:51.198
What did you see that day in the bathroom?

40:54.910 --> 40:57.997
-That they killed my mom.
-How did you say it happened?

40:58.080 --> 41:01.083
Well, my mom was gonna give me a bath.

41:01.167 --> 41:04.587
And Martha Beatriz told her
that it was her bathroom.

41:04.670 --> 41:06.464
And they started arguing.

41:10.009 --> 41:11.886
What happened after the argument?

41:12.595 --> 41:15.806
Grandpa came in
and they started hitting her.

41:16.557 --> 41:21.687
-Where did they hit her?
-In… in the neck.

41:21.770 --> 41:26.734
In the arms,
in the belly, and in the legs.

41:28.986 --> 41:31.572
And then José Luis pushed her.

41:32.781 --> 41:36.076
He climbed on top of her
and grabbed her by her neck.

41:37.828 --> 41:39.246
Who is José Luis?

41:41.499 --> 41:43.083
He's my father.

41:46.837 --> 41:49.840
What we see
is some irregular chemiluminescence.

42:13.864 --> 42:17.535
This incident that you're
telling me about, was it day or night?

42:17.618 --> 42:21.538
-At night, because it was dark.
-Thanks. No more questions.

42:21.622 --> 42:24.041
-Counselor?
-No questions, Your Honor.

42:32.299 --> 42:36.053
FORENSIC INVESTIGATION
MOBILE UNIT

42:39.265 --> 42:41.392
Does the defendant have a request?

42:43.519 --> 42:44.895
No, Your Honor.

42:47.565 --> 42:49.066
I have not seen remorse

42:49.149 --> 42:52.069
in any of the men
who have committed these femicides.

42:53.112 --> 42:56.156
Those people who have openly admitted
to the judges

42:56.657 --> 43:00.452
that they committed these criminal acts
tried to justify them.

43:03.580 --> 43:06.208
They were looking
for your mommy here, baby.

43:06.292 --> 43:10.296
-This is where thy found her?
-Yes, honey, in this area.

43:40.534 --> 43:43.329
We really need to rethink

43:43.954 --> 43:46.248
how we build our relationships,

43:46.332 --> 43:47.833
how we build family,

43:48.334 --> 43:50.419
and that means transforming everything.

43:54.965 --> 43:57.259
Justice would accompany all of that.

44:49.687 --> 44:51.605
This hearing is
to review the detention order

44:51.689 --> 44:53.732
placed against Jesús Hernández Alcocer,

44:53.816 --> 44:56.110
who is charged with the crime of femicide

44:56.193 --> 44:59.488
to the detriment of the victim
whose identity has been withheld.

45:00.447 --> 45:06.161
At that time,
he looked very, very tired, very haggard.

45:06.954 --> 45:11.583
Mr. Alcocer's lawyers requested
a review of the detention order

45:12.376 --> 45:17.673
to ask the judge to change that order
from preventive detention to house arrest.

45:18.173 --> 45:20.384
Whoever is presenting
the evidence in court

45:20.467 --> 45:23.554
has to incorporate
the testimony of a witness,

45:23.637 --> 45:26.265
of an expert through direct questions,

45:26.348 --> 45:30.018
what, how, when, where, why, for what?

45:30.728 --> 45:32.980
You can't suggest the answers.

45:33.063 --> 45:34.565
You can't say,

45:35.065 --> 45:38.110
"You were there on that date, right?"

45:38.193 --> 45:41.155
There will be an objection
as a leading question.

45:41.739 --> 45:43.866
Was there contact with the prison doctors?

45:43.949 --> 45:46.034
Objection. Leading.
He's giving him an answer.

45:46.118 --> 45:47.870
Sustained. Don't answer.

45:50.497 --> 45:52.916
Was there contact with prison staff?

45:53.000 --> 45:55.752
-Objection. Same grounds.
-Sustained. Don't answer.

45:56.295 --> 46:00.257
Do you know if they performed
any tests at the Ticomán Hospital

46:00.340 --> 46:02.759
due to the emergency in question?

46:02.843 --> 46:05.137
Objection.
Not his own facts, and it's leading.

46:05.220 --> 46:06.805
Sustained. Do not answer.

46:06.889 --> 46:10.142
But he might know about that,
Your Honor. It's not his own actions.

46:10.225 --> 46:12.311
Counselor, I've repeatedly insisted

46:12.394 --> 46:16.315
that you not include the answer
in the questions, which you refuse to do.

46:16.398 --> 46:20.027
You put yourself in that situation
because you chose to, counselor.

46:23.614 --> 46:24.990
That's all, Your Honor.

46:27.201 --> 46:29.620
So once the debate has been concluded,

46:29.703 --> 46:34.291
and then, in the arguments, we establish
that there was also a risk to the victims,

46:34.792 --> 46:38.253
and the judge will take
all of that into consideration

46:38.337 --> 46:42.174
in order not to grant the change
of preventive detention to the defendant.

46:43.634 --> 46:46.178
So the defendant,
well, he remained in custody.

46:47.179 --> 46:51.099
The court is not inclined toward
granting you any other cautionary measure,

46:51.183 --> 46:54.603
given the risk that you pose
to the vicarious victims,

46:54.686 --> 46:57.689
considering that you've already
threatened them with death,

46:57.773 --> 47:01.026
and that, at least according
to the evidence presented so far,

47:01.527 --> 47:04.655
you caused the death of YLGJ.

47:10.828 --> 47:13.622
Let's move on to the topics
we've prepared for you today.

47:13.705 --> 47:14.832
Divine justice?

47:14.915 --> 47:17.918
Jesús Hernández Alcocer,
known as the Suntory murderer,

47:18.001 --> 47:19.002
who killed his wife,

47:19.086 --> 47:21.922
the 22-year-old singer Yrma Lydya,
last June,

47:22.005 --> 47:24.258
died this morning in the North Prison.

47:24.341 --> 47:26.552
He was known as an arrogant man,

47:26.635 --> 47:28.053
who carried firearms,

47:28.136 --> 47:31.265
who entered the Suntory Restaurant
that night with a weapon.

47:31.765 --> 47:35.352
Alcocer was a real character,
who posed as a powerful attorney,

47:35.435 --> 47:38.689
a man with contacts in the courts
and in the judiciary.

47:38.772 --> 47:41.316
Well, the Suntory murderer,
as he was called…

47:41.942 --> 47:44.361
The family was bitterly disappointed

47:44.444 --> 47:46.029
when this man died in custody

47:46.113 --> 47:47.906
without receiving his sentence.

47:48.407 --> 47:50.117
One of the first things we told them

47:50.200 --> 47:53.328
was that the dead man
was really Mr. Alcocer,

47:53.412 --> 47:56.748
because they had some doubts
about the Mexican justice system.

47:56.832 --> 48:01.169
They said, "What if he didn't die
and they're making us believe that he did,

48:01.253 --> 48:03.839
and he is somewhere else
living in freedom?"

48:03.922 --> 48:09.511
What we told them was,
"Yes, we guarantee that it is indeed him."

48:09.595 --> 48:12.222
Because we also reviewed the autopsy

48:12.306 --> 48:16.101
that was performed
at the Institute of Forensic Sciences

48:16.184 --> 48:18.353
in order to verify it for ourselves,

48:18.437 --> 48:20.439
to be sure of what we told the family,

48:20.522 --> 48:22.649
that it was indeed Mr. Alcocer.

48:23.442 --> 48:25.193
After the death of Jesús N.,

48:25.277 --> 48:28.155
convicted of the femicide
of the singer Yrma Lydya,

48:28.238 --> 48:30.157
the Prosecutor's Office has a priority

48:30.240 --> 48:33.785
to prosecute the bodyguard Mr. Benjamin,
already imprisoned,

48:33.869 --> 48:38.123
and Mr. Máximo, who, three months
after the crime, is still at large.

48:40.250 --> 48:44.421
Good evening. Let's review
the progress on Máximo's compliance.

48:44.922 --> 48:46.590
What are you doing to locate Máximo?

48:46.673 --> 48:48.967
-How are you looking for him?
-Tell us.

48:49.468 --> 48:53.180
I don't have any new addresses.
The newest ones were these.

48:54.222 --> 48:56.975
-We checked those addresses.
-I feel you're not doing your job.

48:57.059 --> 48:59.728
The others have been checked.
It's the same in the State of Mexico.

48:59.811 --> 49:01.647
It's the same version every time--

49:01.730 --> 49:02.856
There's nothing new.

49:02.940 --> 49:05.442
There is no progress,
and you aren't fully committed.

49:05.525 --> 49:07.819
Is that really all you've done
since we last met?

49:07.903 --> 49:09.321
It's all we have. No progress.

49:09.404 --> 49:11.531
-There's no progress, huh?
-That's not a result.

49:11.615 --> 49:15.744
Where have you been looking for
this man? Where are you looking for him?

49:16.745 --> 49:18.121
There is no progress.

49:18.205 --> 49:21.667
We don't feel
that justice has been done for us.

49:21.750 --> 49:23.377
-Of course.
-It's been a long time.

49:23.460 --> 49:25.170
You haven't done your job
as you should have.

49:25.253 --> 49:27.339
Every time,
it's the same thing, over and over.

49:27.422 --> 49:28.966
That's valid, that's valid.

49:29.466 --> 49:31.551
We're leaving empty-handed again.

49:32.803 --> 49:34.846
I hope you can arrest this guy soon.

49:34.930 --> 49:36.723
-All right?
-I hope so.

49:37.349 --> 49:38.934
And we're not going to give up.

49:40.185 --> 49:42.229
No, we won't.

49:42.854 --> 49:45.482
-And make an effort.
-Yes, sure.

49:46.316 --> 49:48.360
Don't fall asleep. Keep it up.

50:19.808 --> 50:22.436
What's missing for Yrma Lydya?

50:22.519 --> 50:26.189
What would she feel
would be the culmination of her career?

50:26.273 --> 50:27.315
What would her dream be?

50:27.941 --> 50:32.863
The culmination of my career
undoubtedly would be public recognition.

50:33.363 --> 50:36.116
That the people would like what I do.

50:36.742 --> 50:38.952
Right? That's what's missing.

50:44.666 --> 50:48.170
There are artists
who have died without public recognition.

50:48.253 --> 50:50.756
-That's true.
-And it comes later.

50:51.256 --> 50:53.550
Yes. No, I don't want to die. I want…

50:54.051 --> 50:56.344
I really do want
to have public recognition.

50:56.428 --> 50:57.804
That's beautiful.

51:04.895 --> 51:06.980
No, once you're dead, what's the point?

51:07.064 --> 51:08.774
I won't even be here.

51:08.857 --> 51:11.318
Unless reincarnation exists,
like they say.

51:11.401 --> 51:15.781
Or your soul stays here, wandering around.

51:15.864 --> 51:19.493
And then maybe, at some point, I see that,
"Oh, they're listening to my song."

51:19.576 --> 51:22.245
And so on. No, but I want to feel it.

51:22.329 --> 51:23.622
I want to live it.

52:01.618 --> 52:04.746
Martha Beatriz
and José Luis have been arrested.

52:04.830 --> 52:08.125
They are the parents of the alleged killer
of Karen Itzel Rodríguez.

52:08.208 --> 52:12.254
We have been following
this case closely in this newscast.

52:12.754 --> 52:15.006
They will remain
in Santa Martha Acatitla

52:15.090 --> 52:17.259
and the North Prison, respectively,

52:17.342 --> 52:21.388
for aggravated femicide
as co-perpetrators of the crime.

52:30.021 --> 52:32.774
PRETRIAL COURTHOUSES
FOR MEXICO CITY'S EASTERN DETENTION CENTER

52:32.858 --> 52:35.569
I have not been able to mourn my daughter.

52:40.532 --> 52:45.078
So I would really like to be able
to mourn my daughter's death soon,

52:45.162 --> 52:46.746
when this entire case,

52:46.830 --> 52:49.499
the investigation files,
everything is closed.

52:52.252 --> 52:53.461
In a joint action,

52:53.545 --> 52:58.174
the accused José Luis Galicia Palomares
committed this criminal act of femicide,

52:58.758 --> 53:01.595
and is sentenced
for the crime of gang femicide

53:01.678 --> 53:04.764
for taking the life of the victim KIRB.

53:07.684 --> 53:09.019
All I want…

53:10.604 --> 53:14.149
I just want to climb
to the top of a hill by myself,

53:14.649 --> 53:17.027
or go to a forest by myself.

53:17.986 --> 53:20.488
I want to isolate myself from people,

53:20.572 --> 53:23.450
isolating myself
even from my own grandson,

53:23.533 --> 53:27.037
from my children,
from my family, from everyone.

53:31.499 --> 53:36.755
The maximum sentence is considered fair,
given the nature of the aggression.

53:36.838 --> 53:41.593
He is sentenced to 105 years in prison,
and he's also sentenced to pay damages.

53:42.886 --> 53:44.346
Does the defendant have any motions?

53:46.056 --> 53:47.432
None, Your Honor.

53:57.108 --> 53:58.068
Hello?

54:00.111 --> 54:01.821
Well, happy.

54:04.532 --> 54:06.076
The verdict was guilty.

54:08.286 --> 54:11.581
And I thought, "I should tell Sayuri
that you have to be there

54:11.665 --> 54:15.627
because you always stayed on the case
and you gave me so much support."

54:18.254 --> 54:20.799
Thanks to you,
they worked hard on my case.

54:22.801 --> 54:27.639
That day, I wanted to scream,
I wanted to cry,

54:28.139 --> 54:30.058
and to say goodbye to her.

54:31.142 --> 54:34.896
That's what I wanted.
To say goodbye to my daughter.

54:34.980 --> 54:38.692
And also to let her know
that she can rest now.

54:38.775 --> 54:40.485
We can let her rest.

54:40.986 --> 54:44.322
We can finally let her rest in peace.

55:49.804 --> 55:52.724
-Surprise!
-Hello, baby!

56:05.361 --> 56:07.238
Here, here it is, here it is…

56:07.322 --> 56:11.618
I think that one thing
that so many women have worked for,

56:12.118 --> 56:13.912
in the streets,

56:14.412 --> 56:18.458
in the communities,
in the prosecutor's office,

56:18.541 --> 56:20.460
and the work we have done,

56:20.543 --> 56:23.880
the energy we have put
into obtaining justice,

56:24.381 --> 56:25.590
has not been in vain.

56:25.673 --> 56:29.302
That yesterday there was only smoke

56:30.053 --> 56:34.015
Butterflies, butterflies

56:34.974 --> 56:39.312
That emerged from the dark

56:40.397 --> 56:42.399
Ballerinas…

56:42.899 --> 56:45.151
I went ahead with the adoption process,

56:45.235 --> 56:49.864
and decided to adopt a girl
because I decided, hmm…

56:51.699 --> 56:52.909
to have hope.

56:56.037 --> 56:58.706
Little white vessel

57:00.250 --> 57:03.211
Slender, nervous…

57:17.100 --> 57:19.102
MORE LOVE LESS DRAMA

57:19.185 --> 57:22.689
HELP LOCATE HER FAMILY.
HER BODY WAS FOUND ON THE HIGHWAY.
