On 9 February 2020, 25 year old Ingrid Escamilla was found murdered in her home. She had been stabbed to death by her partner, and then horrifically mutilated. It was just the beginning of one of Mexico's bloodiest years ever.
Femicide in Mexico is at epidemic levels - and the link between the rampant murder of women, corruption and cartels is undeinable. In this episode we explore the horror, the violence and the impunity of what is happening across the nation - and particularly in Ciudad Juarez.

| 0:24.5 | I have no clue. It's one of those. My sense of self is pretty what's the word? |

| 0:36.5 | I did it myself, it was a terrible lockdown decision. I was like, why are you cutting your hair at two o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon? |
| 0:41.5 | Just have an existential crisis like everybody else. |
| 0:44.5 | I mean, that is a manifestation of an existential crisis, isn't it? |
| 0:48.5 | That's all so true. |
| 0:49.5 | That's it. I mean, I have thought several times during lockdown, one, two, and now three. |

| 1:37.5 | Because that's what we do. Now, on a regular basis, that is basically another full-time job that we have and we love it. |
