Natalia’s Ghost Trail: A Disappearance Without a Trace

The ghost passage of Natalia: seven months later: The disappearance of Natalia Hitrago Moreno in Cartagena, Colombia Cartagena, August 18, 2021. A 21-year-old woman enters a gastrobar accompanied by a man. Hours later, he boards a flight to Bogotá. Seven months later, a plane ticket is issued in her name to travel to Mexico. Natalia was never found. In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding the disappearance: a trip announced "with friends" that occurred with a man linked to drug trafficking, fraudulent tickets issued under her identity months later, and an investigation that remains in "inquiry stage" without public answers. What happened in Cartagena on August 18, and who continued using Natalia's identity afterward? Victim: Natalia Hitrago Moreno Date: August 18, 2021 Location: Cartagena, Colombia Status: Missing - The last eyewitness was a waitress who identified Natalia by her tattoo on her right shoulder, accompanied by a man whose profile matches Hernán Darío Jiménez. - A Bogotá-Mexico plane ticket was issued in Natalia's name seven months after her disappearance, but Migración Colombia does not confirm actual departure. - Hernán Darío Jiménez, her partner of five years with a documented history of extreme violence, was captured in Mexico City in December 2022 in a drug trafficking operation. - Internal tickets in Natalia's name for Medellín, Bogotá, Pereira, and Cali were found among materials seized from Hernán, suggesting planned movement under a fraudulent identity.

The Wrong Floor: The Unanswered Death of Frank Suárez

The wrong apartment: the death of Frank Suárez: The unsolved homicide case of a health advocate. The camera records Frank Suárez entering his building at 7:50 AM on February 25, 2021. Minutes later, his body is found in the internal area. He lived on the 6th floor but fell from the 9th floor. How did he go up three floors for no reason? A witness saw an unknown person forcing his lock that morning, but the police closed the case in less than 24 hours without investigating the lead. In this episode, we explore the four systematic failures that turned this case into a mystery: the unexplained floor, the ignored witness, the complete absence of digital forensic analysis, and the immediate cremation that eliminated any possibility of a second examination. Was it deep depression documented by his family, or was someone else in the building that morning? Victim: Frank Antonio Suárez Marroy Date: February 25, 2021 Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico Status: Closed as suicide (02/26/2021) - Last camera record shows Suárez alive at 7:50 AM; body found minutes later with no witnesses. - He lived on the 6th floor but fell from the 9th floor; mother resided on the 12th floor, which does not explain the stop on the intermediate floor. - Neighbor witness reported unknown person forcing the lock; police never confiscated or analyzed his cell phone or computer. - Body cremated before a second examination, eliminating independent toxicological analysis and subsequent pathological investigation.

Frank Suárez: the death surrounded by doubts and an investigation closed in less than 24 hours

The pregnancy that sealed her fate: Betany Bad: The murder of a pregnant sister On the night of May 23, 2024, a mother discovers massive blood in her son's kitchen. The body parts of her daughter Betany are found in three different locations: inside the house, at the neighbor's door, and scattered in the backyard. The horror was not improvised; Jack's journals reveal that it all began when he learned that his sister was pregnant. In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding the case: how Jack was declared competent to stand trial while his defense argues insanity due to mental illness, what the word "innocence" meant in his handwritten notebooks, and why a mental health call in 2022 did not prevent the premeditated murder of two victims. Victim: Betany Bad Date: May 23, 2024 Location: Lakeville, Minnesota Status: Guilty plea, sentencing pending (May 2026) - Jack Bad wrote in his journals that his sister "was no longer innocent" after learning of the 17-week pregnancy - The police found a bloody saw, axe, and multiple knives; the dismemberment was deliberate and postmortem - Jack answered orientation questions correctly when arrested but inflicted a wound on his neck - A mental health call in 2022 was the only documented precedent before the first-degree premeditated crime Betany Bad, Lakeville Minnesota homicide 2024, first-degree murder, dismemberment, pregnancy, mental health, premeditation, handwritten journals, true crime English To listen ad-free and access premium episodes, start your 14-day free trial at obomedia.com OBOMEDIA presents true crime storiesa true crime podcast built on real cases.

Betany Bad: the family crime marked by prior signs that were never addressed

The 32 witnesses that no one saw: Adrián Jones: The murder of a 7-year-old boy in Piper, Kansas. A mother calls 911 to report domestic violence and asks the police to check the backyard. The officers find human remains surrounded by pigs. But the surveillance cameras installed in the home had recorded everything: nine months of systematic torture documented on video, and a complete child protection system that knew, saw, and did nothing. In this episode, we explore how ten formal reports, forensic recordings of electric shocks and immersion in water, and a statement from Adrián describing head fractures were ignored for two months before his death by starvation. Michael Jones and Heather Colleen Jones shared photos of abuse on social media while internet searches revealed concealment plans. The system knew. Investigations document institutional negligence, bureaucratic gaps between states, and decisions that prioritized silence over intervention. Victim: Adrián Jones Date: September 28, 2015 Location: Piper, Kansas Status: Sentenced to life in prison - 32 surveillance cameras recorded specific tortures: bindings, electric shocks, immersion in dirty water for nine months. - Adrián stated to psychologists in July 2015 that he was beaten and not fed; doctors did not report abuse. - Heather posted on Facebook on December 24, 2014: "Unfortunately, I can't shoot him, but I will try to take everything from him until I feel better." - Social services documented neglect in July 2013 but resolved it only with home services; the family cut contact two months later.

Adrián Jones: the boy who died after at least ten alerts ignored by the system

The answering machine that betrayed the killer: The kidnapping of Linda Loaiza López An answering machine pronounces a name: Luis Carrera Almoina. It is March 2001 in Caracas, and Linda's sister has just identified the man who kidnapped her. The police have the name, the number, everything. But Linda disappears in a basement for four months while the system ignores the clearest evidence. In this episode, we explore how an 18-year-old girl was systematically tortured in El Rosal while her case passed through 76 different judges, how the attacker confessed to killing eight women without being investigated for those crimes, and how Venezuelan justice ended up investigating the victim instead of the perpetrator. An investigation that does not end in a national court but in the International Court of Human Rights. Victim: Linda Loaiza López Date: March 27 - July 19, 2001 Location: Caracas, Venezuela Status: Case resolved by international court (2018) - The attacker was identified by name and phone number in the first days, but the police did not arrest him for four months. - Linda was tortured, malnourished, and sexually abused in captivity, suffering 15 reconstructive surgeries after her rescue. - A judge acquitted the attacker arguing "reasonable doubt" and ordered an investigation into Linda and her family instead. - The mattress from the room where the abuses occurred was never collected as forensic evidence.
