True Consequences is a true crime and mystery podcast with stories based in New Mexico and the American Desert Southwest.

I'm your host, Eric Carter Bondine.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to another episode of True Consequences podcast.

This is a bonus episode.

We are doing this to help a family member of a local

New Mexican murder victim. And I wanted to release this as soon as possible because I didn't want

to make the family wait for season four. We're going to need everybody's help with this case because

it has stalled out and this family needs and deserves answers

and they deserve to be taken seriously. So I'm just going to ask you to pay attention at the end

when we talk about what you can do to help support this case. So if you don't mind, go ahead and introduce yourself to my listeners,

and we'll start with you. My name is Alicia Otero, and I am the mother of Elias Otero.

And my name is Luis Otero, and I'm the father of Alia Sotero. Thank you for joining me today.

I know this conversation is going to be difficult,

but it's really important that we get Ilius's story out there and get the awareness on the case

so that we can make sure that justice is served. So if you don't mind, I'd like to start by

you telling me about Elias, who he was, what he meant to you and your family,

and just anything you want to share about him?

Well, Alias is the oldest of my children, and he grew up loving football.
