Her body went unnoticed for nine full days, even as police, family, and volunteers scoured the city for her. When asked how such a mistake could happen, the Attorney General admitted that investigators had focused their search efforts entirely outside the home, never imagining she was just a few feet away the whole time. Recording…
Nannies testimony Public opinion, however, was far from satisfied. For a long time, there were calls for a deeper investigation, as the idea that a child’s body could lie in her own bed unnoticed seemed almost impossible to believe. The discovery also shocked Paulette’s nannies, Ericka and Martha Casimiro. They insisted that the girl’s body…
”Who do they want to protect?” Jesus Ortega, leader of the opposition PRD party, also criticized the governor of Mexico State, Enrique Peña Nieto, for the mishandling of the investigation. ”Around 100 police went through this room of 10 metres… sniffer dogs searched it and they never found the body… who do they want to protect?” Ortega…
