Descripción

Eight dead, a two-year-old girl, and an eight-month-long revenge: The Pike County massacre On the morning of April 22, 2016, Bobby Joe Manley opens the door of a trailer in Pike County, Ohio, and finds bodies in pools of blood. Thirty-two silenced shots pierced an entire family while they slept - and no one heard anything. Christopher Roden wakes up with a defensive wound on his right arm, confronts the attackers, and is shot nine times. The rest executed without resistance. How does a perfect silencer allow three children to sleep in neighboring houses? In this episode, we explore the investigation that lasted eighteen months without answers: 550 interrogated, 100 leads, but no DNA from the perpetrators. The Wagner and Roden families had been in a custody dispute over a two-year-old girl for years. Christmas 2015: the Wagner family votes to exterminate the Roden clan. Eight months of surveillance, homemade silencers, purchased and destroyed sneakers. The confession came exactly five years later, on the anniversary day. Victim: Christopher Roden Date: April 22, 2016 Location: Pike County, Ohio, United States Status: Eight life sentences, additional convictions, one trial pending - Christopher wakes up with a defensive wound on his right arm: the only adult who confronted the attackers and received nine consecutive shots. - Thirty-two silenced shots: no one in the community reported detonations, revealing professional planning. - Five types of Remington casings plus one bullet from another model: at least two attackers operated simultaneously in separate houses. - A blood-stained shoe print matches exactly with sneakers purchased by Angela Wagner weeks before the crime.

Stained Boots: The Secret of the Naucalpan Workshop

Stained Boots: The Secret of the Naucalpan Workshop: The Disappearance of Kimberly Hillary Moya González On October 2, 2025, Kimberly leaves her home in Naucalpan and never returns. A week later, cameras capture two men leading her to a gray Volkswagen. The impossible: inside a machine shop, they find boots with blood, buried toys, and symbols of a spiritualist cult. The DNA matches. Why do the accused have more blood from other crimes in their records? In this episode, we explore the C4 recordings that show the live abduction, the phone records linking the suspects to a religious temple that closed the day after the disappearance, and the contradiction between the GPS and the statements of the detainees. Who else is involved in this network operating under religious symbols? Victim: Kimberly Hillary Moya González Date: October 2, 2025 Location: Naucalpan, State of Mexico Status: Missing, open investigation - The boots found in the workshop contain DNA from Kimberly; identical to those in the disappearance video - Gabriel Rafael N accumulated three hours of calls with the spiritualist temple on the same day of the abduction - The suspect's GPS placed him in the workshop until 11:00 PM, contradicting his statement of having left at 7:00 PM - A temple linked to the accused closed with a sign of "personal reasons" exactly one day after the disappearance Kimberly Hillary Moya González, Naucalpan disappearance, 2025, kidnapping, forensic investigation, unsolved mystery, homicide, criminal minds, true crime, institutional corruption, religious cult, Spanish true crime If you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The letter that the police ignored: Celeste Mano

The letter that the police ignored: Celeste Mano: The murder of Celeste Mano in Melbourne, Australia A court order was issued. It was explicitly violated with a three-page letter. The police witnessed it and chose to do nothing. Three months later, a man entered through Celeste's window with a knife. How many institutional failures must a victim tolerate before it is too late? In this episode, we explore the two critical moments when the Melbourne police had the opportunity to stop Loay: first, when they minimized cyberbullying in December 2019, falsely claiming it was not a crime; second, when they witnessed the violation of the restraining order in August 2020 and decided not to investigate. We analyze the 2 minutes and 39 seconds attack, the autopsy that revealed 23 stab wounds, and the defense that collapsed under forensic evidence. Why did the system protect the harasser instead of the victim? Victim: Celeste Mano Date: November 16, 2020 Location: Morda, Melbourne, Australia Status: Murder; sentenced to 36 years - Loay kissed Celeste without consent on the day of her dismissal, establishing from the beginning his willingness to cross physical boundaries. - The police falsely claimed in December 2019 that cyberbullying was not a crime under Australian law, when the law explicitly protected victims of digital harassment. - On August 15, 2020, Loay sent a three-page letter violating the restraining order while police officers witnessed the opening of the file; they did not act. - Loay claimed at the hearing that only two wounds were his, but the autopsy documented 23 stab wounds and a fatal injury to the heart that completely contradicts his version.

The 24 minutes that condemned Benjamin Elliot

The 24 Minutes That Condemned Benjamin Elliot: The Murder of Megan Elliot At 4:41 AM on September 29, 2021, a teenager called 911 from Katy, Texas, to confess that he had just stabbed his twin sister while she was sleeping. Cell phone records show that Benjamin Elliot had been active for over 40 minutes before making the call. The question that defined the trial: Can a sleepwalker disable alarms, walk between rooms, and execute a fatal attack, all without truly waking up? In this episode, we explore the battle between neuroscientists and prosecutors to interpret 24 minutes of silence in the device's record, the contradiction between Benjamin's partial memory of the second stab and the total amnesia that sleepwalking should produce, and the forensic state of Megan's body, which indicated death hours before the emergency call. Was it a premeditated crime or the extreme manifestation of a clinically undocumented sleep disorder? Victim: Megan Elliot Date: September 29, 2021 Location: Katy, Texas, United States Case Status: Guilty, 15 years sentence (February 24, 2025) - Benjamin's cell phone shows activity at 4:01 AM disabling a school alarm, contradictory to his statement of being asleep since 3 AM. - Megan's body showed pale gray coloration and coagulated blood upon paramedics' arrival, evidence consistent with death 3-4 hours before the 911 call. - Benjamin only remembered the second stab but not the first, clinically incompatible with the total amnesia expected in documented sleepwalking episodes. - Sleepwalking never reoccurred in the 3 years following the crime, weakening the narrative of an active chronic disorder.

The luxury truck that sealed her death in Guatemala

The luxury SUV that sealed her death in Guatemala: The femicide of Michelle Soto Solares An elementary school teacher intercepted in broad daylight on an open road. More than ten shots pierce the armor of her vehicle. Her belongings remain untouched. The attackers did not come to steal: they came to carry out a sentence. In this episode, we explore a relationship kept secret for a year, the gift of a luxury SUV posted on social media on September 16, and the death threats that arrived four days later. We unravel the documented surveillance during the ten days prior, the nine-millimeter shell casings on the asphalt, and the unanswered question: who ordered the murder of Michelle Soto, and what gesture triggered the death sentence? Victim: Michelle Soto Solares Date: September 30, 2025 Location: Km 61, Escuintla highway, Guatemala Status: No arrests; Prosecutor's Office against the Crime of Femicide under investigation - More than ten shots of 9 mm caliber pierced the armor of the vehicle without the attackers stealing anything. - Michelle posted photos with Denis Méndez and the gifted SUV on September 16; surveillance began four days later. - Security cameras documented active tracking at least ten days before the attack on a low-traffic stretch. - Messages on Michelle's cell phone contain a direct death threat from a woman identifying herself as Denis's wife, sent days before the crime.

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? Victim: Frank Suárez Date: February 25, 2021 Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico Status: Closed case (official suicide); open social debate - Last camera image at 7:50 AM; body found minutes later three floors above his apartment - Testimony from neighbor about unknown person forcing the lock was not included in the official police file - Video uploaded hours before his death was immediately removed; comments disabled without public explanation - Episode 1211 (August 29, 2017): Suárez accused pharmaceutical companies of funding fraudulent studies; still available online Frank Suárez, San Juan Puerto Rico 2021, founder Natural Slim, pharmaceutical critic, forensic investigation, digital forensics, suspicious death, inconsistencies, homicide, suicide, depression, Scientology, 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.
