Before his execution, his daughter whispered something that left the guards in shock…

In the living room, Ramiro Fuentes drank his fourth glass of whiskey. He had lost his job that week. The carpentry shop, where he worked for 20 years, closed without warning. At his age, he didn’t know how to start over. Sara was talking on the phone in the kitchen. His voice was a furious whisper. I told you not to look for me anymore. What you did is unforgivable. If you don’t fix it, I’m going to talk. I care very little about what you threaten me. she hung up violently and saw Ramiro watching her from the door.

Who were you talking to? With no one. Go to sleep. You’ve had enough. Ramiro wanted to ask more, but the alcohol was already clouding his thoughts. He slumped down on the living room couch and closed his eyes. Within minutes I was fast asleep. What happened next, Ramiro would not remember, but someone else would. Salome woke up to the sound of a door. He got out of bed and walked down the hallway. From the shadows he saw something that his 3-year-old eyes could not comprehend, but that his memory would keep forever.

A figure entered the house. A man the girl knew well. A man who always wore blue shirts and brought her candy when she visited. Sara screamed and then silenced. Little Salome hid in the hallway closet trembling as the man in the blue shirt walked to where her father was sleeping. Dolores spent the entire night reviewing the file of the Fuentes case. Hundreds of pages, photographs that he preferred not to remember, testimonies, expert reports, everything pointed to Ramiro, his footprints, his clothes, his lack of a solid alibi, but there were cracks, small, almost invisible, but they were there.

The first witness, a neighbor named Pedro Sánchez, initially stated that he saw a man leave the house sources at 11 p.m. Three days later, in a second statement, he specified that it was Ramiro. Why the change? Who pressured him? The physical evidence was processed in record time. Forensic analyses usually took weeks. In this case, the results came in within 72 hours, just in time for the arrest. The prosecutor in charge of the case was Aurelio Sánchez.
