Throw yourself or I’ll throw you: The secret of the seventh floor

Throw yourself or I'll throw you: The secret of the seventh floor: The murder of Iván Ortiguera in Pergamino, Buenos Aires Iván Ortiguera, 16 years old, falls from the seventh floor at 9:40 AM on January 6, 2012. His boyfriend Fabián Núñez, the father of his girlfriend, admits to having shouted "throw yourself or I'll throw you" moments before. The problem: the autopsy reveals that the boy fell unconscious, making it impossible for him to jump voluntarily. How does someone who is unconscious commit suicide? In this episode, we explore the deadly contradiction that destroys the official version. Two neighbors describe from the balcony how Núñez holds Iván by the neck with half of his body outside the window, blood on his head, with no reaction whatsoever. The facial fractures prior to the fall, Tamara's scream ("don't hit him anymore"), and the forensic reconstruction reveal a brutal chase inside the apartment. Why did it take only 48 hours to release the main suspect? Victim: Iván Jesús Ortiguera Date: January 6, 2012 Location: Pergamino, Buenos Aires, Argentina (Goyenas Salas 440, 7th floor) Status: Qualified homicide with premeditation. Life imprisonment (February 2014). - Neighbors Rosario and Norma heard glass breaking and the command "throw yourself or I'll throw you" from the adjacent room. - The autopsy determined fractured jaw and nasal septum before the impact, evidence of prior violence and loss of consciousness. - Núñez admitted in an interview with Clarín that he hit Iván but maintains that he jumped voluntarily. - Forensic Director Marcelino Cotier reconstructed a push by an external agent after a chase and cornering.

The pastor who paid 400 dollars for his wife

The pastor who paid $400 for his wife: The murder of Sara Mariano in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil On the night of October 24, 2023, Sara Mariano got into a vehicle believing she was attending a women's meeting at her church. Minutes later, her body was dragged into a nearby forest. The inexplicable: her husband, Pastor Ederlan Mariano, was recording videos crying on social media asking for her to come home, while his accomplices were burning her body just minutes from their house. In this episode, we explore how a revered religious leader with 100,000 followers on Instagram orchestrated a homicide for less than $400, the network of hitmen who executed the crime, and the contradictions that unraveled his alibi: the absence of a non-existent religious event, the deleted cellphone, and the coordinated confessions of three accomplices. The church, the image of a perfect family, and social media were not tools of salvation, but of cover-up. Victim: Sara Mariano Date: October 24, 2023 Location: Salvador de Bahia, Brazil Status: Three detained; no trial date - Ederlan Mariano paid 2,000 reais (approximately $400) to three men to murder his wife after discovering an alleged infidelity. - Sara had confessed to her mother days before that she would make "a decision" about her marriage; she was later found charred on a wooded road. - The pastor recorded videos in national media asking for her to appear while her body was burning in a second burning operation ordered by him. - Víctor Gabriel, who physically restrained Sara during the stabbing, voluntarily came forward and confessed, but was released due to the absence of an arrest warrant.

The girl who planned the massacre of her family

The girl who planned the massacre of her family: The murders of Medicine Hat, Alberta. A house on fire drawn on a school locker. Two figures fleeing. On April 24, 2006, a six-year-old neighbor discovers three corpses in the basement of a home in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The impossible: a 12-year-old girl and her 23-year-old boyfriend had publicly announced their plan to murder her family while adults listened without intervening. In this episode, we explore every ignored warning: the emails from March where Yasmine wrote, "I have a plan that starts with me killing and ends with me living with you," the public confession at a party while witnesses remained silent, and how an integrated family was exterminated while all the signs were overlooked. Why did no one stop this couple before they executed their documented conspiracy? Victims: Mark, Debra, and Jacob Richardson Date: April 23-24, 2006 Location: Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada Status: Both convicted; Yasmine released in 2016 with a new identity - Jeremy Steinke entered through a window that Yasmine deliberately opened at 3:00 a.m. on April 23 - A prophetic drawing on the school locker showed a house on fire and two fleeing figures before anyone was killed - Yasmine killed her 8-year-old brother with a toy sword while their parents were attacked in the basement - Jeremy publicly confessed at a party the same night: "We just came from killing Yasmine's family," and no witness reported it to the authorities Yasmine Richardson, Medicine Hat, family massacre, 2006, murder, serial killer, criminal minds, investigation, conspiracy, true crime, true crime Spanish If you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and gain access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The 5 Minutes That Honduras Wanted to Forget

The 5 Minutes That Honduras Wanted to Forget: The Homicide of Keila Martínez A concrete ceiling with no support. A nursing student detained for violating curfew. Hours later, dead in police custody. The police say strangulation; the hospital says she arrived lifeless. Forensic video confirms that an officer was alone with her for 5-6 minutes. An autopsy orders: mechanical asphyxia by third parties. In this episode, we explore the progressive degradation of an investigation in Honduras: how a case of aggravated femicide turned into negligent homicide by omission, how forensic evidence was dismissed, and how the accused was released two weeks after his sentencing. We analyze the contradiction between the police version and the hospital report, the judicial inspection that invalidates the account of strangulation, and the threats against the family after demanding justice. Why was no other officer investigated? Victim: Keila Martínez, 26 years old Date: February 6-7, 2021 Location: Departmental Police Unit No. 10, La Esperanza, Intibucá, Honduras Status: Homicide unsolved; structural impunity - The forensic video confirms that Harold Rolando Perdomo Sarmiento was alone in Keila's cell for 5-6 minutes and left his post without documented justification. - The preliminary autopsy on February 9, 2021, orders mechanical asphyxia by third parties, ruling out suicide; the sentence was issued under the classification of negligent homicide by omission. - The judicial inspection of the cell confirmed that the ceiling was a concrete slab with no support, making the strangulation described by the police physically impossible. - Perdomo was sentenced to 5 years in prison on February 15, 2024, and released on February 28, 2024; no other officer was investigated or prosecuted.

24 stabs: the mother who stopped the killer

24 stabs: the mother who stopped the killer: The femicide of Isabela Mesa Sánchez A suitcase with blood fluid discovered when a mother finds her son mopping the floor without explanation. Isabela disappeared in Medellín on January 28, 2024, but the signs of control and threat had been active for months: messages prohibiting dating apps, a ban on the father of her child, verbal death threats. How did a long-distance relationship escalate to 24 stabs distributed across the neck, chest, and abdomen? In this episode, we explore Sebastián Villegas's initial confession to his mother against his later denial in court, the pattern of psychological control that Isabela normalized as jealousy from a distance, and the struggle witnessed by friends on the night of the crime that no one reported as a warning. The defensive wounds on her forearms tell a story of resistance; a mother's decision to report her own son tells another story of justice. Victim: Isabela Mesa Sánchez Date: January 28, 2024 Location: Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia Status: Convicted, 31 years 3 months, May 2024 - The struggle at the party was witnessed by friends; no one reported it as an imminent threat. - Villegas confessed "I killed her" to his mother before fleeing, but denied all charges 48 hours later in court. - The body was found in a fetal position inside a suitcase with blood fluid; 8 stabs only in the cervical region. - He attempted to escape through a window on February 3 from his cell, demonstrating that the voluntary surrender was not remorse.
