The metabolism guru: an unexplained fall

The Metabolism Guru: Unexplained Fall of Frank Suárez Frank Suárez enters his building at 7:50 AM on February 25, 2021. Minutes later, his body is found on the 9th floor, but he lived on the 6th floor. The police close the case in less than 24 hours without digital forensics, ignoring the testimony of a neighbor who saw an unknown person forcing his lock that same morning. In this episode, we explore the inconsistencies surrounding the death of the founder of Natural Slim and The Metabolismo TV: the discrepancy of three floors, the absence of documented forensic analysis, and the immediate cremation that prevented a second evaluation. How does a declared critic of the pharmaceutical industry end up dead without the obvious being investigated?

The night Jack dismembered his pregnant sister

The night Jack dismembered his pregnant sister: The murder of Betany Bad Israel A mother called 911 believing her son had killed her daughter. Police found massive blood in the kitchen, a bloody saw, an axe, and large knives. Betany, 30 years old and 17 weeks pregnant, went to dinner with her brother Jack in Lakeville. What dark resentment motivated this act of extreme violence? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that define this homicide case: Jack's journals reveal violent thoughts about Betany's "innocence," but the true cause remains shrouded in forensic mystery. We analyze how the prosecution escalated the charges from second-degree murder to first-degree premeditated murder, and how Jack, minutes after the crime, responded coherently about the date and time—a detail that confounds the insanity narrative. Victim: Betany Bad Israel Date: May 23, 2024 Location: Lakeville, Minnesota Status: Jack Bad pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree premeditated murder (January 21, 2026) - Betany was found dismembered postmortem with her 17-18 week deceased fetus in her womb - The remains were scattered in multiple locations: inside the house, on the neighbor's stairs, next to a shed in Rosemount - Jack was captured with a self-inflicted neck wound, covered in blood, responding coherently to questions about mental competency - Jack's handwritten journals contained direct references to anger because Betany's pregnancy meant she was "no longer innocent" Betany Bad Israel, Lakeville Minnesota dismemberment murder 2024, premeditated murder, forensic investigation, criminal minds, true crime, unsolved mystery, true crime Spanish If you'd like to listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 Created with OBOMEDIA technology.

The red shoelaces that revealed the lost name

The red shoelaces that revealed the lost name: The homicide of Guadalupe Medina Pichardo A four-year-old girl was found dead in an empty lot in Nezahualcóyotl on March 18, 2017, wearing red shoelaces. Nine months later, no one knew her name. The question that no one dared to ask: how does a girl disappear without her own mother reporting her absence? In this episode, we explore how a feminist activist and a forensic expert achieved what the official investigation could not: identifying Guadalupe Medina Pichardo through a composite sketch, a revealing video, and the testimony of a stranger who saw her asking for food on the street. We unravel the contradictions between the accounts of the mother and her partner, the report of abuse filed just one day before the crime, and how the killers confessed under interrogation. Victim: Guadalupe Medina Pichardo Date: March 18, 2017 Location: Nezahualcóyotl, State of Mexico Status: Sentenced to 88 years in prison (September 2019) - A girl without a birth certificate was never reported missing by her biological mother. - The body was buried in a mass grave as "Angelita" while the police closed the case without identification. - An anonymous citizen recognized Lupita in a televised sketch based on forensic data and sent a video where she was wearing the same red shoelaces. - The grandmother reported child abuse and sexual abuse against another daughter of Yadira exactly one day before the murder.

The night Mario voluntarily surrendered

The night Mario voluntarily surrendered: The femicide of Victoria Pamela Salas In the early morning of September 2, 2017, an employee of the Novocuapa Hotel in Tlalpan saw a man leaving room 20 alone. Victoria Pamela Salas, 23 years old, never came out alive. Seventeen hours later, her body was found under hot water in the shower with a stab wound to her neck. The impossible: her boyfriend, Mexico's most famous skater, attended the funeral with a document that supposedly proved his innocence. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that divided a country: the DNA under Victoria's nails matched Mario's, but their phones were not in the same location according to geolocation. The hotel cameras failed just during the events. The key witness for his alibi disappeared and never testified in court. How did the most wanted man by Interpol in 190 countries voluntarily surrender almost two years later, proclaiming his innocence? Victim: Victoria Pamela Salas Date: August 31 - September 2, 2017 Location: Novocuapa Hotel, Tlalpan, Mexico City Status: Sentenced to 45 years (2 out of 3 judges voted guilty) - Hotel employees identified Mario entering and leaving alone, but cell phone geolocation did not place him in the area. - Mario's DNA under Victoria's nails revealed physical struggle, pivoting the arrest warrant after 37 days of searching. - Surveillance cameras technically failed during the exact hours of the crime, eliminating the only direct visual evidence. - Arlet Duarte, the central witness who would place Victoria with another man, never appeared in the five-year oral trial.

The nurse who waited underwater

The nurse who waited underwater: The homicide of Carisa Darwin On the night of October 17, 2011, a certified nurse calls 911 to report that his pregnant wife is drowning in the bathtub. He does not remove the plug. He does not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He just waits while she and her 20-week-old baby die. The question that obsessed investigators: was it criminal negligence or murder dose by dose? In this episode, we explore the contradictions that dismantled his defense: searches for lethal doses of lorazepam seven days prior, 275 text messages with his lover on the day of the crime, and a sedative that appeared twice in the victim's body. The documented inaction of a healthcare professional who claimed not to know how to perform CPR, and the removal of a pornography filter minutes before the emergency call that placed him at home, not on a run as he claimed. Victim: Carisa Darwin Date: October 17, 2011 Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Status: Sentenced to 15 years - sentence confirmed May 2022 - Philip searched Wikipedia for "lethal doses of ativan" exactly two minutes before the first consultation, establishing premeditated knowledge of the drug. - Three days before her death, Carisa was admitted to the hospital with lorazepam in her blood that no doctor prescribed; she was discharged without a criminal investigation. - The 911 operator explicitly recorded that Philip did not attempt to remove the plug or perform resuscitation maneuvers during the 14 minutes of the call. - Philip met with his marriage counselor the next day and stated that he would not buy a double plot in the cemetery because "maybe he would remarry."
