| 0:00.0 | Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all- episode of serialously with me, Annie Elise, your true |
| 0:31.8 | crime bestie, here to break down another true crime case for you today. And let me just tell you, |
| 0:38.2 | the case that we're talking about today, it's one that I never heard of. And you know what? I like to consider myself |
| 0:43.9 | a true crime connoisseur of sorts where like, unfortunately, I'm privy to most of the cases out |
| 0:51.9 | there, especially the notorious ones. but somehow this one kind of just |
| 0:55.6 | like completely slid or like flew by my radar. I don't know what the expression is, but you get what |
| 1:01.4 | I'm trying to say, right? Because today's case is one of the most infamous true crime cases in the |
| 1:07.7 | history of Brazil. A story that gripped the entire country and also, quite honestly, |
| 1:13.6 | exposed massive failures in how the media, the police, and how society handles violence. |
| 1:19.8 | It's filled with all sorts of twists and turns, some really shocking negligence, victim-blaming, |

| 1:34.1 | Pimentel. Now, in 2008, she was just 15 years old, and she lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Now, for those of |
| 1:41.8 | you who don't know, Sao Paulo is a huge city. And I don't mean huge by |
| 1:46.1 | Brazilian standards or huge for South America. I mean huge, period. It's one of the biggest |
| 1:52.7 | cities in the world. It's more than two and a half times bigger than New York. I mean, |
| 1:58.0 | we are talking massive. And it was the place that Aloa called home her entire |
| 2:02.8 | life. She was a city girl through and through. And she was also a glass half full kind of person, |
| 2:09.1 | just always optimistic. She didn't let anything hold her back. She was also a really great |
| 2:14.6 | student. She took school seriously. She studied all the time and she got good grades because of it. |
| 2:19.9 | Unlike a lot of teenagers, especially those growing up in big cities, Aloa had the desire to grow up fast, to be an adult sooner than she probably should have. |
| 2:29.6 | And I think a lot of this can be attributed to, I think, living in a big city, but also what we're consuming |
