The footprint that doesn't close: the Heam-Söring case

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?

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.

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.
